New to pools in general and have a lot to learn!

[tokmom]

Hello,
My husband and I just bought a doughboy above ground 24' with the deep end. It will be installed later this week. I have been trying to read a lot on pools, pool care and especially the liners.

Reading horror stories about liners leaks has me worried. How do you prevent them for the most part?

I read somewhere on this forum that maybe leaks were caused by removing the ladder incorrectly. I planned on removing it daily for safety reasons. Do I want to look at other options instead?

ANY help with pool maintenance would be much appreciated.
