    Pool pump and timer question

    I'm starting to believe that a timer would be a handy addition. I bought a plug in outdoor timer, like what I'd get for Christmas lights. I was going to post to see if I was ok to hook it up as our pump said to rinse it each time you start it. I see several posts about specific brands and it...

    I'm about to give up!

    You were spot on. There was no o ring at all. The pool store was closed for the next 3 days. My husband went and they gave him the wrong one, took another day before I could go back & exchange it. Then, even with lube it would NOT let the top closed enough. Today we were able to get it...

    I'm about to give up!

    I will look at it again tomorrow. Its too dark now. I will try to get a picture, but it was spraying water all over everywhere so hard to get the camera close. It is a Pentair filter, but I don't know the numbers off the top of my head. Thanks for the speedy reply!

    I'm about to give up!

    We bought a new Splash Superpool last year and got it finished being set up in late fall. We didn't hook up the pump at that time because we were closing it immediately. We had to set it up to build the deck around it. We went to hook up the pump the other day and the hose was about 1-2...

    Splash AGP hose replacement

    I'm starting to feel like the biggest idiot for ever buying this pool as I may never get into it! I have a Splash rectangular pool. I got it put up late last fall. I've never had the pump hooked up. I went to hook it up today and my hose is too short by about one foot. The pump cannot be...

    Do I treat or start over?

    The Foam Out worked well. I am fine not using it, will using fewer chemicals create less foam or what do you use? How will I know if the pipes have the film? Just inability to maintain the right levels? The link you reference is what I have printed here and plan on using so I'm glad I'm on...

    Do I treat or start over?

    It smelled foul and the weather is above freezing today, so I drained it. I also ran my pump (my pool cover pump ) while adding new water, I hooked the hose up to flush out the pipes while running the pump etc... To remove all the contaminated water I could. I am currently filling it up with...

    Do I treat or start over?

    We have a new Jacuzzi hot tub, I don't remember the model number , but it seats 6 with a lounge. It was installed in November. I followed the instructions from the company but was always struggling with the chlorine. I had to go out of state, then the thermostat broke, then we had thick ice...

    Just set up AGP Hook up pump or just cover?

    I know it's crazy but we just got our AGP set up & filled. I have not yet hooked up the pump. I had to do it now as our deck is being built around the pool. It's 41 this morning, the water is frigid. It's 25x13 rectangular by Splash & I live in Iowa. Should I get the chemistry right &...

    Sand vs Foam pool set up question

    I'm planning on going with 1" extruded styrofoam boards on a level soil that is cut down to level & tamped flat with a machine. I'm wondering if a tarp does any good at this point. I'm so so so excited!

    Sand vs Foam pool set up question

    We are FINALLY getting ready to install our 25.5x13 Splash pool. We are going to excavate 1-2 feet of soil to get the height at the desired place & get a level ground. We were thinking of adding sand on top of the soil but have seen posts about using foam board. Is this done instead of sand...

    Newbie Introduction... Haven't started so opinions welcome!

    Re: Newbie Introduction... Haven't started so opinions welco I've looked at the wedding cake stairs. Splash pools are soft sides & no coping, so no way to attach. I've seen a magnetic attachments kit that holds stairs in place via magnets... I thought of this problem after seeing some pictures...
