    Hard plumbing a Doughboy AGP

    I thinking about converting from the cheapo hoses to schecule 40 pvc. At first glance the fitting on the bottom of my skimmer and the fitting on the return, are set up to have a hose clamped on them. Is this also the right size for pvc, or do I need to come up with some different fittings...

    Decks....built over or under the top rail.....?

    Hey everyone, I just built my AGP and I am getting ready to start on phase 1 of the deck. My wife and I are debating back and forth if the deck should over hang the top rail of the pool or go underneath it. I am curious to hear what others have done, and why you chose one way over the other...

    multiple skimmers?

    Due to some crazy local zoning issues...I have a round AGP that I can't use and an oval AGP that will be getting installed in two weeks. They are both Doughboy pools and they both came with the same skimmer. The oval pool has two skimmer cutouts. Is there any advantage to having two skimmers...

    Hello!

    Hi, I'm Jeremy. I'm new to the board and I thought I would introduce myself. At the end of last summer, my wife and I found a used, 28' round, Doughboy pool, with a deck that went all the way around the pool, and a slide, on Craigslist for $100. We of course had to take it all down. That...
