Thanks for the advice. (y)

Thanks, my last CYA test was 35 a week ago, I'll use just a couple of tablets. The inline feeder holds 4 max and has a 1-6 dial. It was included with my pool package when I got it but I don't use it since I follow the tfp advice.

I thought my pump was done after I noticed it wasn't running it turned out it was the wiring from the main breaker box to the outlet where I connect the pump. Can you test the pump on an extension cord from a different power source?

OK, so I assume it will be safe to add the tablets to the dispenser. Thanks.

I use the Liquid Chlorinator (Sodium Hypochlorite 12.5% ) from Menards for regular day to day pool sanitation. Can I add Menards Chlorinating tablets (Trichloro-s-triazinetrione 99.3% ) to a inline chlorine feeder to maintain the pool while away for a week? Just read something about not mixing...

Today I set up the pump and hoses for the pool and pumped the water on top of the winter cover into the pool. About 10". Then pumped the bottom (dirty) couple of inches into the grass.

After seeing your post and temp about 78° I had to open mine.

I will drain the water on top of the cover first, then the pool's. I had a layer of ice on top of the cover and tried to lower the level of water of my pool but by removing water from under the layer of ice, it dropped and started to pull down the cover.

I do have a pillow under the cover and I just used a manual pump to drop the water level about 2" below skimmer. I hope this will be enough to keep ice from skimmer. I just wasn't sure if removing water will settle the ice and pull down on the cover. I'll just keep an eye on the tension ofthe...

The water level in my agp is about level with the skimmer bottom. And on top of the winter cover there's a layer of about 4-6 inches of water and ice. Should I lower the level of water on top of the winter cover or the water off the pool, or both? And in which order if it makes a difference...

Mine is also off center, I don't know if the rope I tied it with broke or its just being pulled to the side since I left a bit of slack on the rope. I can't try to adjust it because there's a layer of ice on top of the pool cover.

Frostline in northern IN is about 4' the MD of my above ground pool is about 2'deep. I wonder if the water above it acts as insulation. I just blowed out the MD and didn't add any antifreeze, hope the air stays there until next spring.

I just finished blowing the main drain of my agp a small 2 hp (armour all) did the job. I let it run for about 1 minute. Plenty of bubbles were coming out and then closed the valve and capped the 2 openings on the valve.I didn't use the antifreeze after all since the small shop vac was enough to...

I think antifreeze has no problem filling the main drain because is heavier than water.i will try to close my pool using this method I will post about it later.

I found an old post about closing the pool for winter in this forum and it was discussed the easier method of just adding enough RV antifreeze to the main drain without blowing it out first and when the antifreeze starts oozing out of the main drain you just close and cap the valve for the MD. I...

Hello, I'm looking at methods to close agp and yours sound very simple, I just wonder if it works well our you had any issues with it, hope you can answer soon, thanks.

Will a two way ball valve keep the air in the main drain trough the winter after blowing out the water?

How big the shop vac has to be to blow the sair out of the main drain?

After a week of finishing a deck for my agp I found a hole in the liner so I just wanted to remind people who are building decks around their agp to check and take dated pictures before any construction begins.And during and after the work is done check the area where it took place for any...

I was looking in the forum about using salt in an above ground pool to change the feel of the water and came across this message. When I bought my new pool a month ago we were told that although newer pool designs include all resin parts they're still don't recommend swg and that warranty will...

Water Temperature started st about 76°-80° after initial well water filling of my new AGP. Since then temperature had been hovering at about 84°. Temperature has been more stable since I started using the solar cover at night.

Thanks, heading out to get enough Motrin and beer to last the weekend. Oh, and bleach of course.

I did some water testing to start getting familiar with the tf-100: FC: 0 PH: 7.2 TA: 3,500-4,000 (35-40 Drops, color just got a bit darker with the last 5 drops) CH: 400 Didn't test for CYA, Since I haven't added anything to the water yet. Can I start adding some bleach to it even if the pump...

It seems electrical will not be ready until Monday, what can I do in the meantime with the water in the pool?

Pool was installed yesterday, they (and I didn't realize it till it was too late ) forgot to install the foam cove ( I will returned that to the store for a refund). Pump will be set either today or tomorrow, electrical hopefully tomorrow. Started filling the pool with well water, 2 hoses. One...

Amy recommendations on a heater, I probably should add one while the electrical is set up.

Hi everybody, I just bought a 27' AGP from The GE, without much research or thinking trough what was needed (electrical, locating utilities, etc) --Pic1--. So basically I got a pool on a pallet. --Pic2-- Install is next week. After locating utilities, I'm in the process of hiring an...
