I've lost nearly 4 inches sense my last post. Just over an inch a week. My main drains are still filled with antifreeze. I changing my diagnosis to a liner leak. Guess I'll look for a liner hole this spring

96k is small? I keep my pool at 90* too. I can get 90* in October with the heatpump. It also only costs me less than $50 a month to operate. I'm not sure where you get your calculations from but I'm actually using a heat pump in Michigan and it is way better then you are saying. This is the...

I'm in Mi, Detroit Metro area. I have a heat pump and it's great. There is a couple ways to use them, most common would be have your pump timer shut off at night and turn on during the day. Then your heat pump will only run during the day when it is most efficient. Or if you are not using the...

Permanent. "You pretty much couldn't freeze traditional main drains. The entire pool would need to be frozen solid. (Although the plumbing once it leaves the bottom of the pool is fair game). Is it still frozen @Trick ? Got pics ?" I was thinking this same thing, how could it freeze? I...

In Michigan. My AGP is loosing water. My guess is the main drain froze and cracked. What product do I use to plug both drain holes?

Crud, started draining the pool and completely forgot... 3 hrs later and she's much lower then I would like. I probably drained about a 3rd of the water. Do I need to fill this up more or is it going to be OK for Michigan winter and fill it up in the spring. My fear is the sides colapse in...

I hooked it up in reverse. There was definitely restriction then but some flow. Connected it the correct way and the bypass seemed to stay closed, except when turning the pump on high, it would open slightly then close. The heater would also start for a second. I kept turning the pump on and...

AGP, Heatpump. I just opened the pool and heat pump has a Flo error. It's a pressure switch sensor. To Troubleshoot I did a test jumper on the board, it turned on. I pulled the feeder hose for the pressure switch and water came out. Both good signs and initially leads me to a bad pressure...

Glad I posted. The compatibility of the Universal, its ability to tell the salinity level and the cost makes it the better choice IMO. Thank you for the help!

This piece of junk Hayward Salt and Swim I've been running for the last 7 years has had another cell failure. That is 4 cells in 7yrs. Only 1 was my fault (added salt while it was on). I'm done! Time to upgrade. DiscountSaltPool is having a great deal right now. Upgrade to the next larger size...

I'm glad you said that, I was strongly considering going only halfway. It's about halfway right now. Been filling sense 8am yesterday, but only have the faucet half open. Too scared I'll forget and overfill it if the faucet was on full!

So I drained the pool yesterday for winter and forgot. It's nearly completely empty, the main drain plumbing height is what kept about a foot of water in it. My question is, how much water do I need to keep in the pool for winter? I'll probably put water up to that level and call it good.

I had a chance to mess with this. It seems as if my filter cartridge was clogged. I say this because I'm running it without the filter and it seems to be running fine. Pressure gauge is suppose to go up but it didn't, I think its been broke since new maybe. The gauge goes to 60max and it...

I just separated the pump from the motor and to my untrained eye everything looks ok. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfN77xG-GJU ) I must be missing something, and something has to be blocked. This is an AGP so it can't be much. I hope its nothing to do with my heat pump. Any other ideas?

Would it sound different if the impeller clogged or fail? Cause it sounds the same to me.

My saltwater generator has been saying low flow often. I cleaned the filter yesterday. I came out this morning, it says low flow and I feel little water coming out the return. I take things apart and keep turning the pump off and on looking for maybe something clogged, this didn't go too great...

I really don't know the neighbors. The live behind us and there is a privacy fence. Only time I spoke with them is when my tree trimmer trimmed their trees that crossed over onto my property line. They kinda watched and seemed concerned about their overgrown trees being trimmed. Then the husband...

The neighbors has more trees, his whole yard is overgrown trees, unfortunately they are all healthy, never trimmed and 50+ feet tall. Lol, It would be a good bet this is going to happen again. I almost feel like I have to pay to get the neighbors trees removed or else I'm going to pay the same...

Greatly reduces the stress on your pool filtration with a robot. Biggest pro IMO. Nobody wants to clean a filter cartridge. Changing from a suction side cleaner to a robot could mean only needing to clean your cartridge once or twice a year.

Hey man good job on this, it looks great! Cross fingers it doesn't leak. BTW Costa Rica is great, did pacific side last year and for sure coming back. Such a diverse country one visit isn't enough.

If I understand correctly and this is a conventional AGP then, the liner cannot be removed and re installed, it will shrink.

$1200-$1500, plus permit, seems to be the answer. Tom's example is $500 material. Digging a trench is probably 5hrs. Bonding around the pool and the water is 5hrs. Conduit, wires, breakers, tie into panel, wire at pump motor, gfci, receptacle and all the other stuff, another 5hrs. 15hrs @ $50...

Ice storm last Sunday dropped the top 3rd of my neighbors tree and it hit my pool. It doesn't look like much damage, but it is damaged. The pool is only 3 yrs old and I'm bummed cause it was a nice pool. It's damaged in 3 spots. 1st is a 2' area that is creased and pushed the pool wall in about...

I really like my Rover Jr. The guy I got it from never switched then pin and complained it didn't work good. He sold it to me for $75 bucks and the thing works awesome! I agree the bag can be a pain to clean, but relatively not too bad. Hose it off and toss it in the washing machine every now...

How much was it to get the electrical installed for your AGP? Looking for a price that includes the trenching, wiring & bonding. No Heater or anything special, trenched about 70'. With or without inspection costs?

Mines frozen on too, oops.

In the design picture it does show the water being poured out of the bowl past the coping. Maybe you build some stone work off that coping as a 2nd tier, the water hits that and gets directed in the pool. Or see if Pentair makes larger bowls.. or take that whole top coping off and put one...

Anyone have pics or links to some cool intex pool installs? I seen a couple on here in the past but having trouble finding them. One was a small backyard in Europe with a square intex, upgraded pump, returns and heater. Think it had some astroturf lawn. Another one I seen was in a guy's...
