I have a 3 year old proline cartridge filter with a 2 hp pump for my 30 round above ground pool. Just fired it up for the first time this season and the pump sounds weird. Like there is something in the fan or maybe bearings going. are there any common pump problems that are easily repaired...

we had a 30 round put in last year and I have never felt the vertical support legs (what ever you call them) were straight. Everyone told me it was in my head. I just held a level up to them and they are indeed not straight up and down. They are odd by a small amount maybe 1/4 of an inch...

how do I know if its a leak in the liner or normal

Hi My first winter with the 30' round above ground pool and I think the water level might be lower than it should be. Its still hard to tell because it has some ice on it but I would guess if it had 4 feet when I closed it up it now has under 3 feet. maybe 2 1/2 ish give or take. Is it normal...

you know right before I put it in I said maybe I should let some air out. but I didn't :( now its like I have a giant twinkie in my pool

I had my pool winterized by a company but the small float under the cover they put in deflated. Simple mistake I had another on hand but it is a big 4 x 15 size float. my pool is a 27 round. I blew it up and put it in but it looks huge under the cover. the cover goes over it seemingly fine...

I would be cautious of anything kids can get stuck under or tangled up in. we got wedding cake steps and although I hated them the first week because they were seemingly made poorly I now love them and would not consider having the pool without them. We have a deck built around it so they are...

one last mention I looked at it more closely and I can feel each bolt down the seam and the what I called "bump" is 1 inch to the right of the bolts so its just the connection as far as I can tell. hopefully this is normal and does not damage the liner. unless I hear otherwise im going to...

I can feel and see it. its a bump in the liner about as large as say having a pencil behind it all the way down. I was assuming it was always there but I am paranoid and notice every little thing I am surprised I had not seen / noticed it before. I wonder if there was a plastic cover over...

might be a silly question but I just noticed after 2 months the seam where the pool joins together (the wall not the liner seam) there is a noticeable bump in the liner. I can feel an edge. I had thought it was seamless. It might be perfectly normal I dont know why I just noticed it could it...

noticed a small rock about the size of a marble under my 27 round liner today. its jagged not smooth. I have a leveled dirt spot with maybe 3 - 6 inch sand base under the pool. This is my first pool. I stuck an under water patch kit over the spot just to reinforce it. Do I just deal with...

I just bought some and am disappointed with how bad the design is. I used 3 50 lb sand bags sealed inside 2 extra bags each and I would say the steps are neutral balance. Ours can attach to the deck but I cant see the rail attachment as helping with stability much. They still move slightly...

so first pool and I have been worrying about everything. the filter was leaking then it was sucking in air, my deck was positioned funny, the ladder that came with the pool was junk so I bought wedding cake style steps which I think my 5 year old could have made better, I am paranoid everything...

I was assuming correctly or not that you just cant get all the wrinkles out during install and I had to live with them. they dont bother me if they are harmless to the life span of the liner im going to leave them

prob a stupid question but my first above ground pool I actually went in it for the first time this past weekend and I notice the bottom has some wrinkles in it. It was installed on sand and vacuumed and pulled smooth on install but I guess you still get wrinkles and creases in it. Do wrinkles...
