Q: Do concrete pools crack?

• <div><p>Concrete pools are very durable but can crack if not properly maintained. The most significant risk is winter weather and low temperatures when water can seep into crevices and freeze. To avoid damage, use the proper winterization chemicals, and don&rsquo;t completely drain your pool. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-pool-repairs-cost.htm">Concrete pool repairs cost</a> around <b>$75 per linear foot</b> for small cracks.</p></div>

Q: Can you replace a pool light underwater?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s fair to be concerned about handling pool lights or wiring in a pool filled with water. But fortunately, pool lights and swimming pools are designed to make it easy and safe to replace the lights without needing to drain the water. Instead, you can turn off the electricity to the pool as a safety precaution, unscrew the pool fixture, pull it up and out to the side of the pool, then change the bulb.</p></div>

Q: Should I install a spool pool myself or hire a pro?

• <div><p>The decision to install a spool yourself or hire an installer depends on the type of spool and location. If you don't have experience with installations, including excavation, plumbing, and electrical aboveground pool kits are available for purchase. Without the necessary skills for a pool install, it would be wise to hire a local pool contractor for the job.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my sand filter has enough sand?

• <div><p>An easy way to know whether your sand filter has enough sand is to check how full the filter is and what the sand looks and feels like. The filter container should be two-thirds to three-quarters full of sand. Look for interior marks indicating the ideal sand level. If you put your hand into the sand, it should flow through your fingers without clumping. The filter pressure gauge is also an easy indicator&mdash;the right amount of sand leads to normal pressure, while too much or too little sand can cause high or low pressure.</p></div>
