Let me guess... all of a sudden your pump is tripping your GFCI or Breaker? I've had the same problem twice. First time was 1 1/2 years after I bought the pool, just outside of warranty. I too called Aquapro, their response was "We don't supply parts, buy a new pump." That really torqued me off...

Phishwaves, We're at the end of our third season now, and the bow has not gotten any worse. In fact, it hasn't changed at all. I'm certainly no pool installing expert, but it seems like 2-3 inches at the middle (would be like 4-5 inches out of plumb at the bottom?) is way too much. Maybe I'm...

Thanks a LOT Toolerb50!

Hi there, pool friends and experts! I suppose this type of question has been asked a million times. I searched but didn't quite find the answer I'm looking for. Hoping for some advice from people that own various manufacturers and models of Propane Gas heaters. We live in Michigan, and it's...

Thanks mknauss. I can see the big changes, it's the subtle difference between that are the problem. Like pH for example. I read it as needing a little Acid, my wife reads it as needing a little Soda. Chlorine levels are hard for me to judge too (shades of green on my strips). By not fully...

I imagine this has been asked a time or two, and I'm sorry for asking again. But, I didn't find a search function for the forums to research old threads. I've been looking at (affordable) electronic test kits because I'm color blind, especially to reds and greens. Using test strips is...

All your friends need to do is hold the liner in place while you straighten it out and get centered and in place. It's a Shop Vacuum. A moderately large wet-dry vac. You get the liner in place, all centered and lined up (as best you can) then stick the suction hose in between the liner and the...

Thanks for your input. Burying a tank isn't practical (or probably legal related to cathodic corrosion).

I did my 15x30 with a couple friends and a shop vac. Use a shop vac. It was my 2nd liner install and I can't tell you how much easier it was by using the shop vac! If you have some basic mechanical ability you can do it! If you need to call a plumber because the faucet is leaking, maybe you...

I'm looking for advice on which heating system to buy. We have a new (installed August of 2019) 15x30x4 AGP in Southeast Lower Michigan. I'm familiar with geothermal (heat pumps), it's how I heat my house. We don't have Natural Gas available. Anyone who has had both systems and can offer a...

Why, Thank you! I learned a lot. Especially that I don"t want to be a pool installer:)

Yes, they are.

I don't know if it's right, but this is what I did with mine.

Looking for either owners or installers of this kind of pool's advice. We installed our Aquasport 52, 15x30 pool ourselves (why is another story). I leveled and triple checked the stones for perfect grade. That is, they are all the same level within 1/16". Now that it's filled, I'm seeing the...
