Q: What is the difference between an endless pool and an infinity pool?

• <div><p>While often confused with an endless pool, an infinity pool features a slim outer edge to trick the eye and create the appearance that the pool blends with the sky. An endless pool, on the other hand, is a small pool with a propulsion system that allows swimmers to swim against a current. These two <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pool-types-cost-decks-and-other-options.htm">types of pools</a> have similar names but very different designs.</p></div>

Q: Do animals make a pool toxic?

• <div><p>No, according to the CDC, animals do not usually pose health risks to swimmers, even if one dies. If a pool is maintained well, chlorine should kill any germs left by an animal within minutes. That said, homeowners should remove the animal as soon as possible and clean and disinfect the pool afterward.</p></div>

Q: How often should you add water to a pool?

• <div><p>How often you should add water to your pool depends on how quickly the water evaporates. Keep an eye on your skimmer box, if you have one. Top up the water in your pool if you notice the water levels are lower than the bottom third of your skimmer. This helps prevent damage to your pump. </p><p>Replace all the water in your pool every five to seven years, depending on how often you use your pool, the weather, and whether or not you close your pool for the winter.</p></div>
