Q: Is there an alternative to an endless pool?

• <div>Yes, many brands make models similar to endless pools with a range of features. Some companies feature temporary aboveground pools that imitate the effect of permanent installations. Small home pool spas&mdash;or spools&mdash;as well as lap pools and pools without propulsion designs for water aerobics are also available.</div>

Q: How often should I change koi pond water?

• <div>A good rule of thumb is to change 5% to 15% of your koi pon&rsquo;s water every week. Partial water changes help keep your koi healthy, and replacing small amounts at a time prevents causing stress for the fish.</div>

Q: Do natural pools get algae?

• <div>Yes, natural pools can get algae since they use the same filtration processes as lakes or streams. However, you can reduce the risk of algae by adding more algae-fighting plants and not installing your natural swimming pool in direct sunlight, as it promotes algae growth.</div>
