I and two neighbors have AG doughboys buried 2 feet into the ground - 6 to 8 years old. Mine is the largest at 18 feet x 36 feet. I also have a deep end in mine - to about 5 1/2 feet. I have a deck around about a third of the pool to give it the in-ground look. My neighbor did have the issue...

I'm thinking a cord might be better. That way when the pump/motor goes bad - you unplug it and replace it without any wiring changes except for the pump/motor itself. Also, I winterize my pool, and store the filter assembly, and pump/motor in my shed out of the weather elements. I do have a spa...

Personally, I just like it. I've had mine for about three weeks and I like the flexibility of either running on high or low speed. Of course high speed is needed for vacuuming; but if I get an algae bloom, I could run on high speed to get quicker results. Currently I run on low speed most of the...

Go ahead and start saving up for that auto cleaner ... :-D The uncertainty that I have about your situation is the effect the solar panels will have on your pressure. I'm assuming that with 3 panels, you're adding a lot of additional footage to your setup due to the internal plumbing of the...

I had a Sta-Rite Sunstar Large Halogen 12 volt 60 watt light - 05103 series - installed into the side of my pool below the water line. The installers cut a circular hole about 4" in diamter. It really looks great at night. As far as cost to hook up the pump electrically, there are a lot of...

I saw a nice looking house shaped enclosure to protect a pump from the weather elements. I thought it was on the Leslie's site, but I can't remember or find it anywhere. It seemed to be reasonably priced. Any suggestions on who sells something like this? Thanks ...

Thanks for the reply - the cover did have enough holes for water to seep through and evaporate - and it was clear and sunny plenty this winter ...

My situation was pretty severe. I'm not sure as to what might have happenned. I always winterize my pool and drain it to below the inlet and the return which I figure is about 39" above the pool bottom where I am measuring. When I noticed the problem, the water level was about 12" above the pool...

It was solid, but was not solid. There are a lot of small holes in the cover from 5 years of use - it has not been very effective in keeping water from going through. There has been almost no rain this winter - but what little rain there has been mixed with the leaves and trash on the cover with...

I'm in Dallas. I'll need some rubber boots, and will be getting some soon. It will take some effort to vacuum but I believe that I can figure out a way.However, first I'm concentrating on the sides. The level seemed to hold at 10" above bottom at a certain spot in the shallow end for several...

Thanks for the quick reponse and the welcome. I know that I'll also spend some time reading posts here to try to pick up some tips. It would seem if I don't want to run the pump 24/7, then I would go for above 25 gpm in order to get the same 2 to 3 times turnover of the water, maybe 50 gpm -...

I’ve got a couple of problems with my above ground vinyl 18’ x 36’ pool that I sure could use some advise on. I’ve had the pool for 5 summer seasons. It’s partially buried into the ground – 2 feet – and I have an oval deep end scooped out of the ground about another 3 feet. Like...

I've got an 18' x 36' above ground pool vinyl pool, a little over 14,000 gallons. I'm looking to replace my pumping system; I suspect that I could get by with less HP and save energy costs. I'd had the pool for 5 years, so it's just a matter of time before either the Pump or Motor will go out...
