We are having our new AGP installed at the beginning of May and I’m working towards getting my plumbing and electrical setup. I am remote locating the pump and filter less than 40 feet from the pool behind my shed for aesthetics. Research says I should be fine with the 1.5hp pump and filter we...

We are having a new pool Installed in a hole I had dug last year.....it will be 20ish inches deep. The pool bottom is down to the clay layer. There is roughly 18” of sandy loam on top of the clay in my yard. I was going to backfill with gravel and a custom drain to prevent any ponding around...

Hey we just started the new semi-above ground pool construction last night! It pays dividends to have a neighbor who works for a backhoe company and was working just a mile from the house. He came over and dug the hole for us saving us a lot of time and money!

We are FINALLY going to buy a “regular” AGP this spring. My plan is a 24’x52” that is buried about 24” in the ground to reduce the need for a really tall deck. It will be about 30’-40’ from my shed, which is where I have power for the pool pump. At least in theory. I built the shed and wired...

We acquired (meaning free) an Easy Set 16'x48" pool a month ago. I just got around to setting it up this past week and have been scouring several sale sites to see if I could score a decent pump/filter system without breaking my budget because I really didn't want to use the Intex cartridge...

We haven't had a pool in a few years, thought I was going to get a hardside AGP this time round but we decided against it. Probably going with a Polygroup or Intex 18' x 52" this time. Last time we set one up, we just had sand underneath the pool, roots and stuff tried to grow up into the pool...

I have a leak in my Intex liner and I am sure it is on the bottom somewhere. The funny thing is, the one spot I thought would leak isn't and the area that I am sure the leak is in is completely smooth with NO protrusions! I hate having to add water every few days because of the leak. I can...

Sooooooo, I JUST bought an Intex LED Wall light LAST NIGHT for a surprise pool opening for my family for tonight. BUTTTTTTT the d*$*#*$(&#@(@(!@ @(*@&^## dog chewed up the power cord. Not just chewed it up a little, chewed it up to the point where I cannot splice anything together. Right off at...

Got my Intex 15x4 set back up after fixing some issues with the pad. Finally almost full of water and I'm messing with the pump and new plumbing when I hear a leg start sinking!!!! No I didn't put anything under the foot since I had it on packed decomposed granite (hard as a rock) but I guess...

I am upgrading my 15'x48" Intex pool pump system from the junk 1000 gph to a sand filter system. I can get the 2100 gph or the 2650 gph for only a $10 difference in price but the issue is that either filter system is big for my pool. BUT, next year I plan on upgrading to the 24'x52" Intex pool...

I stumbled across this site while doing research for adding/upgrading pumps and a sand filter to my Intex metal frame AGP (15x48"). This site and the things I have seen done to "cheap" AGP pools is mind boggling. So, the problem is now, I have a TON of ideas to help me and my pool out! First, I...
