I changed my sand at the beginning of this year, I'm not sure it has anything to do with it but here goes. When I hook up my auto cleaner it will run fine for about ten minutes with strong suction, and a strong flow from the return. After about ten minutes the cleaner will lose sution and just...

Today I received a barracuda pool cleaner thunking it would relieve me of my weekly duty of sweeping the pool. My pool is a 24 foot agp that doesnt have a very level bottom. I bought this one because of a recommendation from another thread because they said it would clean uneven floors the best...

I have had my pool open for about two weeks, and no matter what I do I can't get the water clear. I only have a cheap PH and FC test as of now, but plan to buy a more extensive test kit shortly. Both my PH and chlorine levels are dead on, but my water is still clear. The only other chemicals...

I've noticed since opening my pool this year that my liner has some wrinkles in it on the floor, making sweeping difficult. I know I may need to drain the pool somewhat, but can I smooth them out without completely draining it? It seems like the sand underneath isn't flat (it never was...

I have been working over the course of several weeks to change my pump and filter hoses to PVC. Also I wanted to install a automatic timer, and also a switch to turn my light on without walking around to the back of the pool. My next project is a deck. I mounted the switch and junction box on...

I am fairly new to the whole pool world. I recently installed a 24' AGP with a 1HP Hayward pump and sand filter and a automatic chlorinator. Before starting the pool up I loaded the chlorniator up with about 8 3" pucks and started it up. Well I plumbed the filter and chlorinator with the...

I finally finished my above ground pool install yesterday. And while I was waiting for the pool to fill I deceided to hard pipe the whole filter system from the skimmer to the return and the pump and filter. I bought normal PVC pipe and fittings, but already had some conduit glue for the...

I just completed installing a 24' Sharkline Venture pool. I am in the process of filling it now and have a few questions. First... When I first started filling the pool the v-bead liner had wrinkles all the way around the pool. Now there is roughly two feet of water in it and all the wrinkles...

I have a skimmer I bought off ebay to use on my intex pool, but when I empited my pool to clean it my puppy chewed a whole in it. It cost about the same for a replacment liner than a whole new pool. We decided to upgrade to a AG 24' Sharkline Venture that came with a skimmer, so i have an...

I'm looking for a reputable AGP builder in north central Indiana. I have talked to several in the area, but each one recommends a different brand saying that is the industry best. It's very confusing. And to top it off they all have complete packages which include pool, pump, filter, ladder...
