    Wandering air pillow

    As I recall, the pillow had two grommets on diagonally opposite corners, so I threaded a line through those two and tied the line off on opposite sides of the pool. The pillow is therefore free to move up and down the line like a zipline, unfortunately. I should have punched two more holes in...

    Wandering air pillow

    Hi, all. I covered my new AGP in October and for several weeks everything was hunky-dory. However, I wasn't as diligent with draining the rainwater off of the cover as I should have been, and as a result, the air pillow was forced out of the middle of the pool and up against the side. I...

    New pool--starting pump question

    Hi, all. We just got a pool installed on Friday (info in sig, hopefully :) ), and I had a question about the pump. When the pump is running normally (filter position), the PSI is about 17, the pump is full of water, and the water return shoots water out so fast I can't even keep my hand in...
