    Getting back into our ABG - picked the wrong time

    We had a salt-water ABG for about 10 years. The walls rusted out and one of my daughters kicked a bulge into the wall. We decided it was time to take down. It has been a lot longer to get a replacement up than planned. We bought a used resin pool (metal wall). It took some time to...

    SWG Corroded out Metal Pool

    We have a 24' above-ground metal pool. Had a SWG about 5 years now. Love the water and want to keep the salt as one of my kids has severe eczema and this is so much better for her than chlorine. But - the pool is a rusty mess. The top galvanized rail (under the plastic rail) is pretty...

    Is there any way to make a shallow end in an above-ground?

    Pool Cleaning

    We have a 24' above ground pool. When we bought it (used) it came with a Manta suction-side cleaner. It does a moderately acceptable job. But it requires monitoring when it is running because at various times it has suctioned up the side of the pool to the top and started inhaling air...

    What have I done wrong?

    Have an ABG pool. 24' diameter, 14,000 gallons vinyl liner. I use a aquatrol swg on it and a 26" sand filter. 1 1/2" piping all around. About a month ago I switched out my pump. It was an 2 1/2 hp unknown 2 speed brand that was beginning to make horrible noises. I boutht an...

    Questions about 2-speed pump

    Hi, new member here. Been lurking a while and finally joined last week. I hate that my first post is a question, but oh, well. :) Have a 24' ABG (approx 14,000 gallons). Got in on craigslist last year. It was a baquapure system, which we are not using. Have a Goldline...
