Hey all, Me and my wife were talking today and we think we want to add a heat pump to our pool. Nobody has used the pool in a month because it is to cold. I only really enjoy the pool in late June and July and in August it seems to get a little to chilly for my gang. So I am looking into a heat...

I am setting up my new DE filter and it has a part in the box called a flow control. It is a little clear disc about the size of a half dollar. In the book it really does not make mention to it except for a elbow fitting. I am using a union fitting to a matrix pump. Does anyone know anything...

Sorry to start another thread but I have narrowed down my new system to a DE setup for my 21ft round AGP. Now I have a couple of options. There is a Pentair DE system. Comes with the tank, and 1hp Optiflow pump W/twist lock cord. Now the next is the Hayward EC40 with the 1hp Matrix pump...

What is a side mount sand filter? What are the advantages over the traditional top mount? I am buying a new system and it is almost impossible to get what I want so I am settling on a Hayward powerflo matrix 1 hp w/timer and twist lock cord and I am now trying to get a filter and came across a...

I am pulling my hair out with what to buy. I presently have a Lomart Ultra Promega 1hp pump and Spectra 3 17" sand filter. This equipment is starting to give me little problems here and there so I have decided to replace all the equipment and use my old pump as a back up. The pool is a 21'...

Hey gang, reposting this here. I finally got my pool filled and all hooked up today. I had a leak over the winter where the pool drained to about a foot, so I hired a pool guy to come out and help me find it and neither of us can find it?? He is stumped and so am I. So I just filled it and see...

I hope I can post this here. I bought a Sun Dome pool dome for my ABG pool a couple of years ago and Never installed it. I still have both boxes sealed in the shed. I paid $1300 for it and I am never going to use it. We had a hurricane this past fall and lost some trees, so I just went ahead and...

Hi, I have a 21ft round pool and I seemed to develop a leak. It seemed to start last summer as the pool levels were depleting rapidly. I just assumed I was having more than usual evaporation and then I suspected a leak. Anyway, it was close to closing time so I closed the pool and now the pool...

I was searching around for pool stuff and came across a pool dome. I have never giving it any thought before, but now looking at it, I want one. I spend day after day cleaning my pool, since I am surrounded by oaks and my pool is always cold. We have been considering a heater, but it will cost...

I over tightened my cap on my drain plug and stripped the plastic threads on my sand filter tank. I tried using some thread tape and it is helping, but there is still a little drip. Is there anyway to repair this, or will I have to buy a new tank? The drain is molded into the tank, so there is...

Well I started my hot tub today and I think it is going well. The tub is a Keys-backyard (Infinity), not the greatest, but it is a spa in my backyard and it feels great. This is a test spa for us, we got a unbelievable deal on the tub, so for the money if we get a year or two problem free years...

Well I bought a spa a few months ago and finally got the electric installed and it is ready to go today. I have no idea where to start. Anyone have a step by step plan to use to get started. I also need to know filtering times and maintenance..I am using the synergy system for my pool can I use...

Hi guys, I have a 21 ft round that I just installed a month and a half a ago. I used a solar cover in the beginning of July and I started to to get a bit of a algae problem so I took it off and have not used it since. I was not filtering the pool enough. I think I was filtering about 4 hours a...

Hi guys I am a new pool owner. I bought a 21ft round and added a custom 8X8 deck. I am still trying to get to the landscaping done, just not enough time in the day. I wanted a much larger pool, but with the zoning regulations, I was only allowed a 21ft. I have a acre, but most of my property is...
