Q: What is the most popular inground pool shape?

• <div><p>Rectangular pools are the most popular inground pool shape, due to their adaptability to different uses, from swimming laps to hosting parties. These pools can easily include other sought-after features, such as tanning ledges, waterfalls, sport nets, and more. Rectangular pools are also often easier to install and maintain, and prefabricated rectangular pools generally have a shorter installation time, so you can start enjoying your pool faster.</p></div>

Q: Do frogs lay eggs in swimming pools?

• <div><p>Yes, pools provide a safe, covered, and cool environment for frogs to lay eggs. Frogs also require calm water to lay their eggs, so having a constant flow of water from a pool pump or water feature will deter frogs from laying eggs in your pool.</p></div>

Q: What are common pool issues?

• <div><p>Common problems include liner tears, pump malfunctions, and algae buildup. Regular maintenance prevents many issues.</p></div>

Q: What is the ideal pH for swimming pools?

• <div><p>Any number between 7.2 and 7.8 is an ideal pH for swimming pools or 80 to 120 ppm. Your pool testing kit should be able to measure both of these numbers. If your pool&rsquo;s pH is below this range, the water is too acidic and can cause scaling and damage to pool equipment. If the water&rsquo;s pH is above this range, it can decrease the effectiveness of necessary chemicals, like chlorine.</p></div>
