    Landscaping Advice Needed

    Looking for some advice. My 12 year old steel ABG finally gave out last month. Busted out one of the walls.......luckily I caught it and was able to drain it before any flood damage. Anyway, new ABG pool built in the existing location, 24' all resin pool vs 27' previous. Everything is up and...

    How concerned should I be?

    Looks like a couple of my supports are rusting out near the pump/return area. See attached pic. AG salt pool going on year 10 (5 of mine, converted from perma-salt to SWG 4 years ago). New liner last year so I guess I should have inspected this closer and maybe had them do something then. I have...

    Before I SLAM....

    Opened it up last weekend with the newly installed SWG and am thinking at this point I need to SLAM. I've been unable to get FC going. At first, I added a jug of bleach to raise FC (according to pool math) to help the SWG out, then realized CYA was at 0. Over the last 4-5 days I've fixed that...

    About to add salt for first time, second guessing my choice....

    SWG Switch, sanity check

    So I received my Circupool SI 30+ SWG and am starting to plan how I want to install it. I called a local pool installer to ask how much they might charge to help me mount it, change over to PVC plumbing (currently hoses) and wire it in with a timer (not really an electrician....although it seems...

    Switching to SWG

    After two summers of using the Permasalt system, I'm ready to switch over to using a SWG. While the water with Permasalt was easy to maintain (replace the chamber every year, add salt), there just wasn't enough FC in the water for my liking.....especially with our son getting ready to start...

    Inherited Permasalt, Looking to Switch Next Year

    I've been reading posts on here for a while and have decided to switch away from the Permsalt system that came with our AG pool when we purchased our house last summer. I had nothing but problems (green water every 2-3 days) with it last year, but the prior owners left me with an empty copper...
