Q: What kind of shock is best for an above ground pool?

• <div><p>Calcium hypochlorite, or cal-hypo, tends to be the best shock for an above ground pool. It is widely available, affordable, and powerful. Cal-hypo shock is typically 65% to 75% chlorine and is very effective at ridding a pool of bacteria or other contaminants.</p></div>

Q: Should air come out of my pool jets?

• <div><p>No, pool jets should not have air coming out. While it&rsquo;s a common problem, making it seem like air coming out is the norm, bubbling pool jets are a sign of loose bearings or fittings, or low water levels. You should get to the bottom of your jets releasing air bubbles because it could be a sign that there&rsquo;s air entering the pump, which can shorten the lifespan of your pump or lead to costly repairs.</p></div>

Q: Can professionals diagnose and repair pool equipment issues?

• <div><p>Yes, they provide full-service inspections, identifying and resolving any potential equipment problems.</p></div>

Q: What can I put under my pool to level it?

• <div><p>You can place many materials under a pool to level it, including sand, concrete, solid foam, pavers, or finely crushed gravel. You can also use a tamper or roller to level ground without using a shovel to dig. No matter the material, make sure to level the ground with sand first for a smooth, even surface for the pool to sit on.</p></div>
