    Closing Oval AGP for Winter

    This will be year 4 and the previous 3 were a pain in the ***. We get a decent amount of rain/snow during the winter which causes the cover to push under the pool water level and then pool water pushes up through the little pinholes/cover material and floods the top of the cover, and the weight...

    WHERE is my water going???

    I have a 25x15 AGP in eastern PA. Every winter, I put a 15x4 air pillow secured in the center, put the cover over it (draped loosely over the pillow, laying on the water before going over the pool side). Each year before closing I drain it about 6-8" so it's just below the skimmer level. Both...

    Air Pillow

    I have a 5x15 air pillow for my 25x15 oval pool - this will be the third year I've closed and I have still yet to master keeping that thing centered in the pool. It has two grommets on it, one on each end in opposite corners. I center it up and tie it off to the ends of the pool. I can't make...

Just this year (in the past month) have had a problem of an air pocket forming in the system and it hangs at the basket cleanout on the pump itself. Daily I have to shut...

    Just took off the cover - ew!

    My winter cover formed some holes in it over the past few months from ice, and the water on top was becoming green from the warm temps lately (70s, abnormally high) so I figured I needed to get the cover off before the green water filters its way down through the holes into the pool water...

    Pool Timer

    This will be the third year of having my above ground pool - so far I just have had the pump wired to a switch in my garage which I'd have to remember to turn on and off each day, and with my work schedule forgot half the time. I'm looking for some sort of simple, inexpensive 24 hour timer...

    Air Pillow Popped - Lots of Ice and Snow

    This has been one massive winter so far in PA and I have an issue with my 25x15 pool. About a month ago I realized my air cushion deflated - it was too late however because there was already an ice layer and if I went to get a new one it would have only laid on top, plus I had a lot of ice and...
