Rain/snow is a nice natrual way to fill pools in the off season. However, you have to protect from freeze damage in colder climates due to water filling back up your pool.

I am so ready for swim season!! I have a question concerning pool chemical alternatives. I read somewhere that you can use products like borax and baking soda to adjust alkalinity and ph. Is that true? I would love to save some money on chemicals this year. I did a search on your blog but came up empty – maybe a new topic for you?

I’m thinking of buying a new above ground pool. When should I install? It is getting warm now, and I think the chance of freezing is over. Do I need to wait until May 31st? Or can I install sooner?

We have an above ground pool and most of the water has dissapeared, why does this keep happening? We have a vinyl liner and we did winterize out pool.

Jim, I might be able to offer a few insights if you care to provide a little more information: Is your pool above ground or inground? Does it have a vinyl liner or concrete interior? Do you live in a northern climate or sunbelt? Did you winterize your pool this year, or did someone else do it?

I’m ready for swimming myself. It seems awfully far away though

To Pete I think your surranding concrete is sloped the wrong way (maybe a badconrete work or the ground is sinking)
To Jim your pool may have a hole somewhere.Not neccesrly in the pool but arround light or maybe soemwhere in the line where the water can escape.
Good luck
