    Pool facelift, foam bottom, new liner, paint, salt system, finally a lighting question.

    We bought a house with a tired pool, liner was sagging off the rails, faded and poorly installed. We were pleasantly surprised to find a foam bottom. We had planned to buy an overlap since this last liner came out of the tract, but amazon sent a beaded liner, so we put the tract back on and...

    Liner change AG, foam insulation board.

    I just started taking down my old liner, and was surprised to find foam insulation board underneath. Should I leave that or take it up? All of the videos I have watched showed a sand bottom. Pool is 21' round, above ground.

    AG Liner replacement Questions

    We purchased a house with an AG pool with SWG. The liner is old, wrinkled, bleached out and falling off the beading. What is the easiest type of replacement liner, and best for SWG? I'm thinking overlap? Its a cheap pool so I'm not sure how much money I want to invest in it. We will...

    Show me your liner!

    There are so many liner patterns to choose from. Do you love yours? I'm including the 3 we have had (we move a lot). I think we want something with a dark blue?

    Liner Replacement

    We would like to replace our liner (recently bought this house with pool in place). 1. Since we added a SWG, should we go with this same type of liner (which doesn't seem to be holding onto the tract) or should we go with the kind that drapes over the side, or something else? 2. What causes...

    Opinions on upgrading to a deeper, salt water friendly replacement pool!

    We recently moved and next spring I would like to replace our 21' AGP with something deeper and salt friendly. I need recommendations! We can't go any bigger because the septic tank butts up to the pool. What came with the house has a pool wall that seems to be 51", with aluminum top rails...

    Pump Cover/House Ideas

    We just bought this house. This pool is much smaller/cheaper/more shallow than our previous pools, and our original plan was to replace it immediately, however the round concrete paver in the picture is the opening to the septic tank! We are adding a SWG because we love salt and don't care if...

    Above ground w/ SWG and small tear in liner - rusty timebomb.

    We have a 4 year old Outback genesis that was sold advertised as being a saltwater ready pool. When we opened it this year we noticed the water level was lower than it should be, and found a 3/4 inch tear about an inch below the skimmer. Water has obviously been pooling between the liner and...

    Hayward GLX-Cell-5 vs GLX-Cell-5-W

    Does anyone know the difference other than warranty length? I just ordered a 5 and received a 5-W instead. Trying to decide if I should return it or get my pool running. Thanks!

    Salt Water above ground pool.

    Has anyone had success with this? We are on our 2nd above ground pool (because we moved), and both rusted extremely fast. The one we have now is 3 years old, the pool wall is rusting around the bottom. The company advertised it as salt water compatible but isn't standing behind it. What...

    Repair liner tear in salt pool

    Last week we had strong winds and our table and umbrella ended up in the pool. Last night we noticed a 1" tear about a foot down from the water level, presumably from this storm. We patched the tear, however I'm concerned about leaking salt water for a week will now destroy the pool wall. We...
