    Opinion on Tahitian54?

    On their website when you select a pool package you have the option of upgrading the pump/filter. Its basically a cartridge filter that cleans better than sand. So far I have no complaints about it....

    Opinion on Tahitian54?

    It is an Escalade. When I got the boxes it was labeled Escalade which kind of threw me off because I ordered a Tahitian.

    Opinion on Tahitian54?

    I was in your shoes a few months ago and ended up buying the Tahitian 27' Round. Weve had it a few months now and love it. I bought it from the same website and opted for the ModMedia filter and 1 1/2 hp pump. Ill tell you that I could run the pump for about 3-4 hours and the water sparkles...

    A Little confused on Chlorine testing

    Ok I just did the FC test and CC test....They were .5 each....The water also did not turn very pink, but it did change color a little bit. I am not going to test my CYA until the end of the week since I just added Stabilizer Sunday. Should I add a jug of bleach daily until my FC goes up to 2 or...

    A Little confused on Chlorine testing

    The water looks fine, I just filled the pool so its pretty fresh. I added about 2 lbs of Stabilizer through the skimmer (without the sock) and ran the pump for 24 hours. I have 1 27' Round 17000 Gallon pool with a Sta Rite 150 sq ft ModMedia filter and 1.5 hp pump. Ill look into the FC test...

    Question on AGP pump wiring

    OK I think I have my setup all planned out (again)....I want to run a twist lock between 5-10ft from the pool. I have no pool accessories so I do not need another outlet. I am going to try and buy a whole cord assembly so I could just connect it straight to the pump. I still have a few questions...

    Question on AGP pump wiring

    Could you provide me a link to exactly what the quick disconnect box looks like?? Also, since I plan on running it straight from the CB panel should I run THHN all the way or only when it is run through conduit?? And what type of wire should I run from the pump to the QD box??

    Question on AGP pump wiring

    Ok heres my next question....I read somewhere online that the pump should not be closer than 5' from the pool wall but does this only apply if it is not hardwired?? It seems like every AGP I have seen the pump/filter is right next to the pool. If that is too close, what would be a good...

    Do I need Main Drains for my AGP???

    Ok newbie here....I am going to hire someone to install my 27' Tahitian AGP. One of the installers said I needed main drains because of the size of the pool and the other installer only recommended it. I know they help circulate water better but is it worth the risk of putting another hole in...
