Would love to put on an overflow outlet. What's involved? How scary is it to cut hole through side of pool and liner?? What tools?? Is this something to sub out? deweypip

Found my hayward 1 hp powermax which had been running flawlessly not pushing water. Thought the timer must have shut it down, but I know it runs this time of day. Put the pump back on, and nothing but a buzzing/humming sound, and not pushing water. Turned on/off several times with the same...

Took our steps out at the end of last season, and like other seasons I could hear water inside the step and/or rail sections. I put steps in our cellar over winter, but I always thought algea either is in the steps, or can grow inside the steps. How to prevent this, or sanatize the steps? Can...

Short of having some neighbor help, how do you handle being away from your agp for any length of time during the summer?

Looking to get a handle on my green pool as stated in other post in this forum. Question--since I need to have water moving to get decent #s to base additions of various chemicals, is it advisable to just push water through my pump itself with no filter in place. Will I compromise my pump with...

Split by moderator from HERE. Please start your own thread for you own questions. Thanks, jblizzle I can't close my pool with a cover on it for winter because it is so windy. I shred covers like crazy. It's just not economical. This year no cover, and I see algea already. 24' AGPl has half...

In my second season, so pretty new at this stuff. Out of nowhere my filter starts rattling. Wasn't sure if it was the pump or filter until i put my ear up close, and seems like it is definitely coming from inside the EC50AC hayward filter, near bottom 1/3 of unit. Anyone have any clues???

Coming out of winter first time. Our pool is green, and full of debis. Cover ripped over winter and we didn't replace. Should you fill filter with de, of try to run pump/filter w/out de to get most of gunk out?? Help!!!! What should be my plan of attack?? deweypip

Anyone know anyway to level out these steps in an AGP that has does NOT have a flat base?? My better half ordered these last year after we had a major mishap with a old ladder type step,(snapped in half and put 6 bih holes(3 each side of ladder) in brand new 25mil liner only 1ft of bottom). She...

We're into the last week of Dec of our first yr being pool owners. I was on my secong cover, looks like now I need a third. Winds have been shredding our covers. The last one was split in two, litterally. Question---lost the last cover last week--had no time to replace, now cold weather moved...

First time closer-- 24x54 sharkline agp owner--first year I hear people say to drain several inches below the return, while others claim to cover the skimmer opening with some sort of water tight sealer(plate), and then plug return eyeball so as to keep there water level pretty much same level...

After I had a ladder snap in half, and put multiple holes in a 1-2 month old liner, I had raced off to get patch kit. Got kit, read instructions very quickly, and slapped patches in place. All has been well for about a month now. Had I had my wits about me-I would have rounded off edges of...

We had our pool bottom done in concrete/vermiculite base. Installers gave a slight slope a couple feet from the pool sides up to the pool side. Problem now is new steps( link provided ) will not sit level up against side of pool. (( http://www.poolcenter.com/images/confer ... n-pool.jpg ))...

It's been quite a week. With a snapped ladder nearly taking out my liner earlier in the week, only a patch kit has saved us. For $7 bucks, 5 gaping holes have been repaired and kept kids swimming into this heat wave. Instead of draining 15,000gal of water, and replacing the liner, I got to...

New AGP, no deck yet. Lumber gets delivered today. Had plastic pool ladder for use. The kid you could lift up on the outside of the pool to restrict access as a temporary until deck was built. Well, an adult family member exiting the pool SNAPPED the ladder on the inside of the pool. Both...

Just got finished having water delivered. Still need about 3" fill from garden hose. What now??? Once I have water to approp height, I'll run filter, test water and make adjustments, as well as chlorinate. Should I put winter cover cover on it/solar cover to prevent water evaporation? In...

Anyone know of any good site which offers pool deck plans for viewing?

I went out and purchased a Hayward EC50AC DE filter, and a Hayward Power Flo Matrix sp1510 z1 xehc 1 hp pump for a 24x54 AGP. Looking to line up some fittings, hoses, and clamps, but not really sure what I need. The filter only came with a ball valve drain, and pump came with no fittings at...

Seem to be having a hard time locating an installer for an AGP near Hershey/Lebanon, PA area. Anyone have any ideas?? deweypip

Anyone have an opinion on these two pools? http://www.nationalpoolwholesalers.com/ ... 02452.html (Noted--I have seen post about being cautious with NPW). http://www.poolsupplyworld.com/pools/sh ... matrix.htm Along with either of these pools, does anyone think the Hayward SP15922S Power-Flo...

http://www.waterworks-pools.com/id172.html Thinking of the 21' or 24' round in either above by Waterworks, or the 21 or 24 Morada by Namco-Branchbrook. Is resin the way to go, or aluminum/steel sided??? Would do high end package on either, but would like a DE filter. Not sure of pump HP...
