Oh sorry, I meant to use the term "seasonal" as the pump/filter will only be used in Spring/Summer, the pool water will obviously otherwise be completely stagnant during the other seasons. My mis-use of terminology :) Thanks for the suggestions. Just edited my signature, and I will definitely...

Yes Sir, it's a permanent pool that will only have the pump/filter operating seasonally and will spend the rest of the cooler/colder months covered. Thanks again for the links and information... looks like I need to read a little bit about shock level and such. We are new to the pool world and...

Thank you Eric, I appreciate those links. So I shouldn't need to dump extra chlorine or anything when I go to run the pump for 24 hrs before closing it up for that long of a time? I thought I'd heard somewhere (before coming to this site) that it is recommended to do something like that...

Hi Dave, thanks so much for the advice. Yeah I should be able to change out just the eyeballs later on the new jets once I get everything installed, but I won't have the time to get new ones between now and this weekend. The jets do have 1 1/2" return fittings and I have some brand new pool...

Hi everyone, I'm brand new to the forum here and was hoping someone could give me some good input on my question. Back-story: We are redoing an above-ground pool that we have not ever used. The pool is 24'x15' (rectangular), and the walls are constructed of 3/4" treated plywood, so it's...
