I bought a pool cover for my 27' OG salt water pool. On the instructions it says to lower the pool water level to 18" below the top ridge which I did. I installed the pool cover about 3 to 4 weeks ago and have been draining the rainwater with a marine bilge pump. I was just wondering about...

I have a 27' round OB salt water pool. We had a really nice hot weather since I opened the pool at the beginning of July and easily maintained 3ppm FC and 0ppm of CC with the salt generator running @40%. The temperature never went below 80f. So last Wednesday night was the last time I took my...

I live in Eastern Canada and we have some cold winters. I was building the deck around my 27' AGP salt water pool and I set the deck height to come to about the middle of the top plate and leaving about a 1/2" to 3/4" gap between the deck and the top plate. A friend of mine came over and kinda...

Just looking at the heat pump and seeing all that cool air coming out the top of it going to waste, while I am paying to air condition my house. Why wouldn't they make an adapter of sorts to route the cold air flow inside your house. I know it would make the heat pump slightly less efficient...

Just wondering if I should be concerned, I have a complete foam floor and foam pool coves. I was passing the vac this morning with a mask and noticed my foam pool cove pulled apart maybe 1/2" and the liner has a slight but noticeable dent. I was thinking it would be easy enough to make a small...

I have a 27' AG salt water pool (roughly 17,000 US gallons). Last night I installed my 110,000 BTU heat pump. The pool was 70f and I let it run all night (with solar blanket on, ambient temperature around 55f) and the temperature only raised to 71f this morning. I was expecting at least 3f or...

I have a Hayward Aqua-trol SWG that comes with a cell that is mounted vertically and connected directed to the return port on the pool. In the manual it states it has to be installed this way and that a flow switch is not needed because the chlorine bubbles can escape and enter the pool without...

I have my pool 2/3 full and its time to install the skimmer and return port. I just notice that my skimmer came with a wall saver gasket. I really don't want to cut my liner before installing the skimmer, can I just put the wall saver gasket on the wall before cutting the liner and then bolt...

I am installing my 27' AG pool in the next couple week now that my deck is done and I was looking at the NEC for pool bonding. Your supposed to bond all metal parts together using a minimum #8 wire and that includes the metal outer shell and each vertical support brace if you are completely NEC...

At what elevation should the pump and heat exchanger be installed vis a vis the pool water level for best operation on a 27' AG pool? Or does it even make a difference as long as its below the water line? I also see a lot of people around here(eastern Canada) using a long coil of black plastic...

I have a deal on a used Waterco XLR excellence heat pump (110000BTU reversible) but I cannot find any reviews on it. Are they any good? Efficiency? I don't see them listed on the AHRI website

I am putting a 27' above ground salt water pool in this spring. I was looking at installing led lights. Has anyone installed or tried installing LED light strips that they have for sale on ebay/amazon etc. You can get custom length waterproof LED strips. I was thinking of installing these...

I am looking to purchase a pool heater. There is a used one for sale locally, its a HiTech XL 120,000BTU titanium heater purchased in 2010. Is this a good heater to buy, should I buy it?? Does anyone have a service manual for it? Anyone know the COP rating for this unit? Are spare parts...

Hi everyone. I'm putting in my first pool, its a 27" round above ground salt water pool. I have talked with a few guys locally here about putting in a bottom drain valve. One guy I talked to said that I really really should put one in because it makes it much easier to maintain it. The pool...

Hi I'm D0T-C0M. I'm from Eastern Canada and I'm a new pool owner and I just bought a new 27' above ground salt water pool that I plan to install myself. I had some questions that I posted in the "under construction" section so if a moderator would kindly approve my thread I would be grateful...

I am installing an 27' round above ground salt water pool (52" high). I live in Canada and the weather is not as warm as you folks down south so to ease the heating bill I want to install floor foam and wall foam. For the floor it was suggested by a friend that I install 1" or 1-1/2" rigid 3m...
