I noticed this summer when I swam to one side of my 3 year old above ground pool that it seemed a little deeper. Now that the pool is drained below the skimmer and the winter cover is on and has water on it, I can really notice a difference in the depth between the opposite sides of the round...

How low is acceptable for vinyl pools? Mine is at 30. If I need to raise it, what chemical do I need?

I am getting ready to open the pool, but I am not sure how to open my sand filter in order to fill it and take a look at the sand. I have looked all over the forum and looked at my manual. It says to replace the sand open the filter and then gives other directions. Nothing about how to get the...

I have been thinking about adding a liquidator to my above ground pool this year and from many of the posts on here I learned that it may be easier to install this if I had pvc piping. Right now I have the flexible tubes that came with the pool when I bought it used from another couple and we...

We have an above ground pool in North Carolina that we are considering leaving open this winter. It has been our first season with a pool. I read through lots of posts and a few people mentioned that the pump needs to be run when the temperature drops below freezing. I also read that there may...

I am having my AGP installed on Thursday. The ground slopes downward about 30 inches from high side to low side. Where is the best place to put the filter and pump? Thanks so much for the help. I can't wait until I know enough that I can post answers to other people's questions.

My very first post! I purchased an above ground pool from a couple who had it up for a year and then were forced to take it down by their home owners association. I have wanted a pool for as long as I can remember and I am anxious to get swimming and do things right. The pool came in about a...
