Is it worth insulating an above ground pool?
An above ground pool gives your family many hours of enjoyment during the warm-weather months. If you add pool insulation, you can extend the swimming season. The insulation creates a more energy-efficient pool as well. Many pool owners put solar covers over the top of the water and that helps to keep the water warmer.
How often do you shock an above ground pool?
once a week
It’s often recommended to shock your pool once a week. If you don’t do it every week, you should at least do it every other week. This is necessary to maintain your pool’s water chemistry. If you have a lot of people over in your pool or have a party, you may want to shock your pool more frequently.
