Thanks Pool4me and I am totally lost now. I did go to Lowes today to look for a timer but they only do up to 1/3 HP and my pump is a 1.5 HP so no timer for me. I will not even attempt to do any wiring because I may electrocute myself with my luck. I think I will just go ask at the pool place...

So I could use a timer like I would for outdoor Christmas lights and such? Is that the kind of timer you have?

We got our first electric bill :oops: and now decided we may need to get a timer. lol. I have a Hayward Power Flo LX series pump and I looked at some timers online but wasn't really sure what to get so I thought I better ask here first. The pool is a 24ft round AGP. I usually get in the pool in...

Oh great. I also saw this piece of plastic with the Styrofoam and was not sure if that was something to use when winterizing the pool (since the pool installers did not put it in) so I just kept it in the garage. But I will put it in now and see what the difference is. I did realize that some of...

Thank you all for the good info. We will try and find something to use as weights. I don't think we will be able to built our own ladder on the outside. Neither the husband or I have those skills nor tools to do that. :| Sooner or later we will get out deck extended too and the ladder has...

I had this in another topic maybe someone can give me an answer here. When they installed our pool they put our ladder together but did not put it in the pool. They also did not leave us any instruction booklet. So we put the ladder in the pool when it was filled and we don't know if it is...

Heike, I thought so. I am originally from Wuerzburg, lived in Kitzingen for a few years and then we got stationed in Wiesbaden. :wink: Now we are at Ft Campbell KY but live off post in Clarksville.

Great thanks. That would explain why the snorkeling is worse if we point the return yet downwards and less if we turn it upwards. It does not bother me that much since the Hubby is a snorer and I am used to hearing snorkeling sounds all night long :lol: and the neighbors just gonna have to...

Re: New pool day 1 Oh wow it looks HUGE! I bet you are excited. Make sure you post some pics when its done! Would love to see. :wink:

I just got my first 24ft round AGP installed Saturday. The guy gave me a 3 minute class on how to start the Hayward Power Flo LX pump and DreamLine Sand Filter and do a backwash and I remember he said if there is air just open the air valve and if there is still air then open it again. However...

Ok I have to ask. Is Heike your name? Because if so then I assume you are German. I can't believe that the house sitter did not want to mess with the pool. If it was me I would have said I mess with it as long as I can swim in it (that's if I didn't have one myself of course) :) I remember...

Awww to bad that the neighbors hose is not long enough. Well.....plan B would be to call 911 and say your Pool is on Fire. :twisted: Just kidding....

Thanks. Yes the water looks great, but it has only been in there since yesterday. :lol: I hope it stays that way. I agree test kits are great. I was not able to get my fish tank straight until I finally bought a good test kit.

Thanks Dave. I will definitely check on that and get one this week. :goodjob: I already browsed through some of the articles on the website. Lots of good stuff.

Oh the waiting is the worst......it took us a week. Then they told us they be here Friday and then they called Friday that they got behind and won't be able to make it till Satuday! :grrrr: :rant: Then when we had it it took forever to fill with Water!!! And I am so impatient with things...
