Above ground pool maintenance is a lot like car maintenance, a “pay me now, or pay me [more] later” type of thing. If your cleaning, chemistry or circulation is off-target, you can develop water problems and pool liner issues, which can be expensive to correct.
Similarly, how often do you add chlorine to above ground pool?

In respect to this, how long does an above ground pool last? A high-quality above ground pool from Valley Pool & Spa should last between 10 and 20 years depending on how well you care for it. However, your pool liner will not last as long as your pool. Contact a pool expert at our store to see if you need a new liner before you decide to replace your entire pool.
In this regard, how often should you change the water in an above ground pool?
Generally, pool water needs to be replaced once every five to seven years. This should be done during mild weather so that your pool surface is not at risk from strong sunlight and heat. Your pool maintenance company can recommend when it is time to drain your pool.
