Calcium lumps in a pool are calcium deposits that form when a pool's water parameters are not in the normal range. They can float around on the surface of the pool water, making it look and feel dirty. The most common causes of calcium lumps in pools are calcium hardness above 1,000 ppm, alkalinity over 120, and a pH over 7.8. Keeping your pool’s calcium levels, alkalinity, and pH levels within the normal, safe ranges is the best way to prevent calcium lumps and other problems, including damage to the pool surface.

The number of gallons in your pool will determine how much chlorine you’ll need to add to your pool for the first time. Chlorine levels should fall between 1 and 3 ppm. It's crucial to read the instructions on your chlorine packet to determine the number of tablets to put in the water based on your pool's capacity.

Removing a pool can decrease home value if your pool is in good condition and you live in an area where pools are in demand. On the flip side, removing a pool could increase your home value if you have a very old pool, a pool that requires significant repairs, or a pool that takes up a lot of space in a small yard. Those in climates with a very short swim season or those with lower-end aboveground pools may also see a favorable return when they remove their pool.
