When is a good time to open my pool for the season?

Click here to sign up for our e-newsletter detailing compete spring start up instructions and the announcement of the dates for our Spring Sale! In general, openings can be done as soon as any snow or ice is gone from your pool. You may bring the pool water level back up to the proper height and start running your equipment. Keep in mind that if the evening temperatures drop below 32 degrees, you will want to run your filter system to prevent your equipment from freezing. An early spring start-up of your pool will help combat any chances of algae growth, making it an easier spring clean-up. Once the water has been filtering for a minimum of 48 hours, bring in a water sample (2 cups) for a complete water analysis to start out the swimming season right!

Can I bury an above ground pool in the ground?

Collapsed Pool

No & this is why!! The picture to the right is what will likely happen to your Above Ground Pool if you bury it. Burying an above ground swimming pool will void your warranty with most manufacturers, including OutBack & Strong. One of the potential dangers of burying a pool in the ground is the ground pressure pushing the side walls in and they collapse. The St. Croix Pool is a great option if you would like to bury your pool. It can be installed above ground, half in ground, or completely in ground. Click here for more details

How much does an above ground pool cost?

At Pool Pros we carry above ground pools that will fit any budget and carry sizes to fit most backyards. Outback & Strong Above Ground Pools range in size from 15' up to 33' round & Wall heights of 52” – 56”. For best size selections and great promotions, shop and buy early! Our pool packages start at $2,600.00 and can be installed by the homeowner or by our own Award Winning Construction Crew.

What to look for when purchasing an Above Ground Pool?

First, do you want a 52", 54”or 56” deep pool?  Second, what size pool and shape best fits your backyard, family & lifestyle.  Finally, choose the pool with a SOLID warranty. Above ground pools can last for 20 plus years if you choose the right one & have it installed correctly.  We offer a full line of above ground pools that have one of the best warranties on the market today.
