    Gross water on top... Drain or deal with it?

    I have an above ground, 20 round. The water on top of the cover is really gross. Last year we tried to get the cover off without dumping all the Crud in and failed. Would it be ok to drain the gross water, pull the cover off, then refill? The level is already down before the skimmer though, and...

    Conditioning NEW water before closing

    I got my water chemistry perfect, cleaned it, winterized it, removed/stored the pump and filter, covered it. THEN, we noticed the cover looked awfully low. We had what turned out to be several holes in the liner and it was down to about 1.5 feet of water left in it. Patched the holes, filled...

    Do I have to fill my new AGP right away?

    Well I installed the fence and filled the pool to about an inch under the skimmer. I don't have the electric in so I can't startup the pump/filter. Also, Management wants the pump/filter in a different location now which is dependant upon how far I can be from the pool(another thread). Water...

    12' Hose's from filter to pool

    My wife now wants the pump/filter in a different location about 15' from the pool. Can I do that or am I pushing it? I can hard plumb it with PVC if that makes a difference. TIA

    Do I have to fill my new AGP right away?

    Thanks for all of the replies. My town does have the 48" rule also but the pool is not on level ground. It ended up needing 24" of excavating on one end to make it level. This is why I didn't order fencing up front either as I didn't know how much I would need. It turns out I need 7 sections of...

    Do I have to fill my new AGP right away?

    The pool was setup today. I put about one foot of water in at the instruction of the installer so that the liner would setup properly. It did indeed seem to get rid of all the wrinkles after adding the water. My problem is that I need to install the fencing(24" attached to uprights) to conform...

    12' Hose's from filter to pool

    Hi... Today I had a 21' (54" walls)round AGP installed. The filter/pump is a Pentair Dynamo 1HP pump and a ST-50 DE filter. It came with 12' hoses which I thought were pretty long. Will I be OK with them or should I trade them in for 6'? The 12' allow me to place the system in a location where I...

    Hayward or Pentair DE

    Thanks for the reply. The proposed pump would be 1hp. They come as a pair so if I ask for the upgraded filter it may be paired with a more powerful pump. I'll have to see tomorrow. I'll give your sticky a read<that>.

    Hayward or Pentair DE

    Hi All... We are looking to purchase a 21' AGP(Zodiac Revelation). I've already kinda settled on a DE filter and the dealer said I can have my choice of Pentair Star 50(ST50) or Hayward EC40. He tells me the Hayward is finger type and the Pentair is grid type. Any thoughts on which I should get...
