So would a leaf net help cut down on chlorine loss/help prevent algae growth if we get a few warm days over the wintera or am I better off just not using anything?

Over a regular winter covet or just use a leaf net only?

We live in a rural area surrounded by open fields. When we have used regular winter covers in the past they don’t even make it through winter because of wind. Even had the wind pull the cover up so hard it ripped a couple of the vertical side rails out of the ground last year. Would a micro mesh...

As noted in another thread, I'm afraid my agp may need a new liner. The pool store wants $1500 to for the liner and installation which is more money then we want to put into right now while building a new house. It looks like we can buy liners ourselves for around $200-$250 from various...

Our AGP had a leak that we have yet to be able to find and we think it may end up needing a new liner. We are planning on moving to a new home in January and considered the possibility of leaving the pool empty and then offering a credit to the buyer for the cost of having a new liner installed...

Last summer I noticed sand coming back into the pool but decided to wait till spring before opening to try and fix it. I took the sand and laterals out today to look for cracks. I didn't see any cracks in the laterals themselves but there are what appear to be cracks around the parts that hold...

Thanks, What is the spider gasket and what would I look for when checking it?

Yes I rinse after for about 1 min Multi port valve also. I missed that question above

27 drops last night 24 today. Pool school says accuracy is plus of minus 10% when using more than 10 drops so would this be considered a pass or fail?

It appears to be only when the pump first comes on. It's enough you can see it and then slows to nothing within a minute or so (or at least looks like nothing). There is always a fair amount of sand on the bottom of the pool. It doesn't matter if there has been a recent backwash or not.

I have an Hayward s180t not really sure how old if is as it came with the house/pool

It's 13.5 free chlorine tonight. Since I am at slam level should I still only expect it to drop 1ppm or less over night of will it drop more since starting level is higher

Chlorine was 2 before adding more tonight Combined chlorine 0 Cya is 30 Ph 7.8 Going to raise to slam levels and do overnight loss test tonight.

I use the BBB method and my water always looks great and my chlorine levels are good but the walls on a little over half my poo(24' round) is always covers with brown stuff. I'm assuming it's dirt and grime and not algae but I don't know any more. It is all over the wall in the direction...

I've got an older Hayward sand filter that came with the pool when we bought the house and it is blowing sand into the pool via the return line. Is it possible to fix it somehow or does it need to be replaced?

Just purchased a Hayward aquacritter and having some trouble. After a few minutes the pump starts having a low water level like enough water is not coming through. It's a Hayward 1 hp pump so I think it should be plenty strong. Any thoughts on what's going on? Question 2) the instructions say...

Yes only 1 return which I thought was standard on agp? How would I add additional returns? What about running one of those Hayward auto pool cleaners such as the diver Dave? Would that work?

I have a 24' round agp with 1hp hayward pump and a Hayward sand filter. I cannot get sufficient circulation throughout the whole pool. The side opposite the direction the eyeball points always ends up with standing dirt on the floor and filthy walls. The side the eye points stays clean. I've...

We have a 24' round above ground pool in central Indiana. The house included a old propane heater but the pilot will not light and with the cost of propane I'm not sure it's with having someone come to try and fix it. So I was wondering if there are any relatively simple to install solar heating...

It's In pretty rough shape and needs replaced anyways

We live in a wide open area surrounded by fields and tend to get a lot of wind which makes solar covers difficult to keep in place. They always want to blow to one side of the pool or blow off making them not worth the effort. We have a 24 foot round pool. We bought a new cover last year that...

Thanks. I've read the leak detection article. It's definately not the plumbing. I let it drain past the plumbing and it kept leaking.

We have a leak in our pool. Losing 1-2 inches per day but have been unable to find the leak. We tried using the leak dye but not luck. Just put some "fix a leak" in it today and am hoping it fixes the leak(s) but if not may have to go with a new liner. Local pool stool said it cost around 2k...

Tried the dye today and we couldn't find the leak. Losing about 2 inches per day and it's now below the return so it's definately in the liner somewhere. Any other ideas? I found a product called fix a leak on Amazon woukd this be a good idea to try

Opened the pool last week and discovered we have a leak. Losing about 1-2 inches per day. The pool was drained to just below the return all winter and didn't appear to be losing water so either it is a new leak that just appeared or the leak is higher than the return. No visible leaks on any of...

So if I have a 150k btu heater and a 24' round by 4' deep agp, how many degrees per hour should I be able to gain? Also, Does the heater typically have to be ran everytime you want to swim or will the pool maintain the elevated temp? I do have a solar cover in place. Thanks
