Well, done. Am I priced about right/too high/too low? Let's just call it an experiment gone horribly wrong. http://baltimore.craigslist.org/for/3790320642.html

Yeah. That's kind of what I'm wondering. If anyone has rental properties with a pool. I'm guessing it's not worth the hassle, and I should just get what I can for it on Craigslist.

I'm going to be putting our house up for rent here soon. I have a 'permanent' (not Intex style) 15' x 4' pool up. I hear mixed reviews on leaving it up. Some say it's a liability, some say no. Some say let the renter decide. I don't care either way. What's the general consensus on pools with...

Re: 25sqft cartridge filter can't keep up with cleaning my p Good question, I should go measure. I don't know if 4' is the wall height or the water height. Either way, I am under-filtered? I got home from work and of course water was at a standstill again. Swapped filters, 20 minutes...

Re: 25sqft cartridge filter can't keep up with cleaning my p

Never could find it. :( Just ordered the TF100-XL kit.

Re: 25sqft cartridge filter can't keep up with cleaning my p I was stirring stuff up yesterday, I think I switched out filters no less than 10 times yesterday. Haha.

Re: 25sqft cartridge filter can't keep up with cleaning my p OK I just looked outside, clogged again. I put a clean filter in at 9pm last night. GRRRR. I don't know what I need. How much money would I be looking at to get an adequate pump/sand filter/saltwater generator? Particular model...

Re: 25sqft cartridge filter can't keep up with cleaning my p I believe that you're right. Last year, it kept the water clean until I was out of town and a stick jammed the impeller. Then the pool went to heck and I wasn't able to keep up with it. It got swamped because I simply had too much...

Wow, that's a heck of a lot cheaper than the "cartridge filter cleaner" the pool stores sell you. Same result?

I have a 15' x 4' pool that got swamped last year. I have been running it filter-free for the most part lately just to keep the water circulating with chlorine tabs and shock, to begin the clearing process. Otherwise, the filter clogs within hours, and flow comes to a standstill. Is this...

Ah, jeez. I just saw it like a week ago, now it's not where I thought I saw it...figures. I'll find it and let you know!

OK I will do that then. I've never done it before so of course I have some nerves about doing it wrong.

How do I know how much shock I need to use. I started off with 4 gallons. I also threw 5 jumpo chlorine tabs into the floating dispenser. Any tips? Thank you.

Now being that it was full of mosquitoes etc., is there any viral concern or anything else I need to be aware of? Or just let the pump run, vacuum it out, and then take the water in for a sample reading? (I bought a kit last year but would prefer professional help getting it started).

Darn things. Crawled out from under the filter after I carried it up front. Glad I had gloves on. Look, it's already looking better. Just kidding. Here's where I'm at right now.

Opted to find out what was causing the low pump flow (small twig in the impeller), pumping fine now. Pulled what I could off the top of the pool. Dumped 4 gallons of shock in there, let it circulate w/o the filter overnight just to get the water going (and we had a massive storm and it was...

Pump died; I have a swamp. :(

Correct it is a 'normal' AGP. I only put it up last year; it is not even a year old yet. I'm thinking of draining it too and just starting over. Cost to fill is not excessive.

Who knew daddy-long-legs can walk on the surface of water? Don't know if I'm beyond the point of no return or what.

Sometime during the end of last year, my pump stopped turning. I had 100 other things going on with everything in life, and put it off to the side. Here we are come spring, my water is black, and it's FULL of mosquitoes and water boatmen (and who knows what else). Undecided if I'm going to...

Re: Dirt/ground around AGP? Also, please help me landscape! Sadface. Haha.

Got to get in it for about 15 minutes today before it started to thunder/lightning/rain. :(

I did some looking around myself, and found this: Return Nozzle > Rubber > Liner > Wall > Rubber > Cork > Nut

Re: Dirt/ground around AGP? Also, please help me landscape! Here you can see basically the uneveness as I was leveling: Going to move the ladder 1/4 of the way around the pool clockwise. As you can see, I'm in dire need of help here. :lol: Short term plan is a paver walkway from the...

Just finished putting up a 'starter' 15' x 4' AGP. Plan is to use it a couple years, if we like it and use it enough, then stick it on Craigslist or something and maybe recoup a little cost, and then upgrade. Didn't want to go 'all in' at once. With that said, won't be doing a deck on this...

Probably already done with the job, but based on what I went through putting my pool up, sink the pavers lower. Don't try to cheat, not worth it in the end. That sand won't last.

The rocks look great! Is that red stone or is it the lava rock? I remember up in MA the red rock was quite pricey.

Nope it does, why do you ask?

Thought about it/I do want one. We would get a lot more use out of it that way probably vs. a ladder. Too much going on right now, wife wants to move (thanks for telling me that after I put up the pool! LOL). Also, plan on only keeping this a couple years, then upgrading to larger if we use...
