FAQs

Our staff has many years of experience installing all manner of in-ground pools and related structures and equipment. We are happy to answer your questions and address your concerns before, during, and after installation.

How do I get started on designing my new in-ground pool?

We can listen to your personal “pool vision” as soon as you call us or visit us on-site. We will catch your vision for what you want your pool to do and how you want it to look, then give you the benefit of our experienced advice on how you might best go about meeting your goals.

From beginning to end, we guide you through the pool design process, helping you understand what options are out there, what is trending and why, and how each design factors out as to budget and timetable. But we never “tell” you how you should design your pool: we help you make an informed decision based on your goals and on our pool-building expertise.

What kind of pool area amenities can Oak Wells install?

We can install paved poolside patios, in-pool and poolside benches, steps, and other seating, gazebos and pergolas, landscaping greenery and hardscapes, fountains and waterfalls, interactive water features, hot tubs, spray pads, pool fences, pool screens, overhead and safe in-pool lighting, and more.

In short, we not only can install an exquisitely styled, highly durable pool that will last for years and even decades to come, but we can help you create an entire “pool area” that is ideal to relax in or enjoy with family, friends, and party guests.

Do you install commercial or residential pools?

The answer to this question is “yes.” We have installed numerous hotel and fitness center pools and pools for other businesses in the Jacksonville area and beyond. But we have also installed untold numbers of high-quality residential pools for our large and growing customer base.

Whether commercial or residential, we customize your pool to your exact specifications and work on a schedule that is convenient to you, to minimize any disruptions to your home life or business activities during the construction process.

Will my pool design go well with my home or business exterior?

Yes, we can make your pool's looks match or complement that of your building. Everything from the contours of the pool to the colors and patterning of its tiles, coping, and surrounding pavement can be taken into account.

We know how to create an integrated overall impression that makes your building's exterior, pool, and pool surroundings all blend into “one.”

How long do I need to run my pool filter?

Running your filter 8 hours a day is plenty when water temperatures are below 80 degrees Fahrenheit; some even run it as little as six hours in such conditions. But in the hot season, or when you have the water well heated, you should typically run the filter 10 to 12 hours per day.

Should I drain my pool once a year?

We strongly suggest that you do not need to drain your pool annually, and that if you do drain it sometime, it not be during the winter months. Even in Florida, a rare cold snap could damage a pool bottom not covered with any water.

How long should I wait after chemical treatment to swim in my pool?

Although it depends on the kind and quantity of chemicals used and on your pool's size and temperature, you should generally wait 8 to 12 hours before swimming.
