    It's raining cats and dogs - AGP question. HELP!!!

    It's raining so much here that my pool water is already above my skimmer. Do I drain some water off or wait til it's all over. It's supposed to rain here all day like crazy. Will it hurt my pool if I let the water overflow over the top? HELP!!!

    I just finished installing my AG pool and my filter system. Finally got all the leaks out of the pipes and everything is working just fine. Building up stabilizer levels and keeping it chlorinated is working out OK thanks to this forum. Pics of my cool new pool will be forthcoming in a new...

    Ideas needed for elevated equipment pad

    I have a VERY small yard that is graded in a way that drains all of the water in the yard to one corner. I did this on purpose so that I could get it all out with a sump pump. In this wet corner there is a small sump with a pump in it for drainage purposes. This works out quite well in my...

    Water flow meter by Rola-Chem

    Anybody here use the rola-chem water flow meter. I was reading about people using the blue-white brand one and it was $80. Picked up a new rola-chem on EBay for $39 (1 1/2" model), can't wait to see how well it works. Seems like it's the same as the others I have seen of similar design.

    NEW robotic cleaner looks like good deal.

    http://www.shopthegreatescape.com/ecom/ ... ts_id=1219 I was at the pool store today and the guy pointed this out. It's made by aquabot and it's an aquajet with store branding. At $350 it looks like a great deal, kinda wish I'd have seen it before I paid $200 for my pool rover junior.
