    Liner replacement on 27'

    We bought this house in '06, no idea how old the liner was, but it looked good. 2 summers ago, we started having issues with small leaks, which we tracked down and patched. Last summer, it got worse, we had to patch at least 7 or 8 leaks, and a couple of them were pretty large. Over the...

    Best time to run my pump

    I have a few questions about when to run my pump, and when to have it off. I have a timer that allows up to 24 on and 24 off cycles. I want enough run time to keep it sparkling, but obviously would like to save electricity too. My old pump was 2HP. My new pump is 1.5HP. I have a 27'x52" AGP...

    New pool owner and member

    Hello. 8) We bought a home this past winter that has a 23' above ground pool. We were not able to move in until this month, and since it was 400 miles from our previous home, what maintenance that I have done was sporadic and on the weekends. I started with trichlor pucks and cal-hypo shock...
