Each year it takes me weeks to get my pool clean, I slam it, adjust the ph, add the cya, vacuum and sweep daily, which can be exhausting after a twelve hour shift... this year we ran into some replacement part delays so we're even more behind! I'm really wondering if it wouldn't be easier to...

After a week of mystery puddles around the pool we've now found out that when on filter our filter is also pumping water out the backwash discharge! We were pool free for about two years so the filter and pump were drained, covered and sat... I know there is a loose lateral because we'll get...

We had a terrible lose 2 years ago when our liner tore and the flood gates opened leaving us pool-less! Last year was a bad year for us and we didn't get it re-lined and set up. Soooo... this year we're getting her all set back up. What we've got: 24' round doughboy, old school model as this...

I've seen it done, so we're thinking of doing this since we need to re-line anyway. So tips? How to's? We have a steel side doughboy, 24' round, w/ sand filter. Anyone have pictures of their construction? Tips? Other info on this?

Our liner needs replaced for our 24' AGP, all I can seem to find is 20 mil and this last liner only lasted 3 years and it was 20 mil. Is there something better I should be looking for? Would also love tips on smoothing out the bottom prior to laying the new liner and any other helpful tips for...

I got a new filter/pump this spring. This may not be the right way to vacuum but this is how my grandparents always did it, and they owned this exact pool for over 20 years before we got it. When I vacuum we drop the main skimmer lid to create suction, plug in the vaccum hose, get all of the...

Opened the pool this year, if any of you remember me from last year all I did was fight with the pool. This year we drained completely did some maintenance refilled, etc. to find the pump was ready to retire. Ordered a new pump and sand filter, but of course in the week and a half it took to...

I'm looking for a cheap auto vac. I've been looking at the hayward critter cleaner type, or I also found this... http://cgi.ebay.com/ROBO-KLEEN-ABOVE-GR ... 3cb94b3e86 Thoughts an ideas? I have an AGP, and the bottom has some small low spots so I worry about one getting stuck.

We need deck help... We actually moved our current pool from my grandparents' to our house. They had a redwood deck all around it with round posts in the ground for columns. We disassembled it and brought all of the pieces with. I want to put a 2' - 3' walk around on two sides ( for...

I would like to get a vacuum for my pool. ( I have a vacuum, but I'm referring to the self cleaning kind ) I've seen the little ones that look like lady bugs. I'd love to get a good big one, but what I'm really needing is a cheap one, lol. Hopefully next season we'll have more in the budget but...

I basically live in the middle of nowhere, we have one generally over priced pool, spa, and ... fireplace store. They really push the product Soft Swim, is this any good? Worth the money? They tout that it's easy to use, etc. He told me "start up" on it was about $170 for my pool...

My pool is out of control. I've been fighting with it for 6 weeks since we've opened it this spring. It's a 24' x 4' doughboy steel side, sand filter, and a salt system. I replaced the sand & checked the laterals but it appears the spider gasket needs to be replaced now as well, so I'm...
