Hi All, I have a 24ft round AGP, with a 2-speed Hayward Powerflo Matrix 1HP pump. I just bought a Hayward HP50TA (50k BTU) heat pump and hooked it up on Sunday. My water was at 72 degrees 4 days ago, and now it's at around 85 degrees, which we want it at 87. I cut the pump off the first...

Hi All, I started another thread for my dying (almost dead) pump, but it's not likely that I'll be able to revive it, therefore it's shopping time. I have an AGP that is 24' round, and 4' deep. According to the Pool Calculator that's about 13,500 gallons. I only have about of 8 ft of piping...

Hi all, I have a SP1580X15 Powerflo LX pump/strainer. When I went out the other day I had no power at all to the pump. I had to replace the electrical wire all the way back to the house like it had fried it. Once I did that, I now get the dreaded "hum" when turning it on. I've tried rotating...

Hi all, I slacked off on keeping the chlorine levels up once it was too cold to swim. Then I went on vacation for a few days, only to return to the dreaded "green swamp". I now need to close the pool, so I'm wondering if it's worth the effort to clean it BEFORE closing it, or just wait and...

Hi All, I have a 1.5hp ancient single speed Hayward pump that just will not die. However, it is very expensive to run (~$200 a month or so... even when only running around 12hrs a day). Therefore, I'm looking at 2-speed 1hp pumps to hopefully cut my costs some. I have a 24' AGP (round), which...

Hi all, last year at closing was a disaster. Although I waited until the water was 60 degrees or lower, the pool was then bombarded with leaves from my trees that hang almost over the pool. I did my best to clean out what I could, but I wasn't about to set foot in that 60 degree water! The...

GM All. I've only been a pool owner for a couple of years, and last year at closing time I closed up a decent amount of leaves in my pool, after giving up and trying to get out as many as I could. BAD MOVE! I opened the pool on Sunday to not only a very dark/murky brown water color, but also...

Well, I finally did it... I convinced my cheap self to purchase a high quality test kit. I was a little overwhelmed at first, but taking the readings was actually very easy. Now I'm on to using the pool calculator, and below are my readings (and the calculator's suggestions). I just want to...
