Thanks John. I have already ordered another gauge. I'm going to try and find an online tutorial and change it myself.

I have a 16x32 vinyl in ground pool. It is a new install, in the Fall of 2013. I have a Hayward S210T sand filter. I did a great job of closing my pool down for the Fall, but I noticed that I forgot to put the pump in the "Winter" setting over the winter. I have kicked the pump off, and...

Thank you all for your replies. I am new to this, so please forgive my misunderstanding. The PB did the rough in for the plumbing. What more do I need to ask him to do if I want to wait until next season to install the slide that I want? I don't understand the footer and bonding. Is...

To make a long story short my PB didn't even entertain the idea of any slide except the SR Smith Grand Rapids. That's the only brochure he had and he said that was the only choice. It has a ladder and looks kind of like it's straight out of the 1970's. Based off the internet prices I have...

Greetings all, I am having an in ground 16x32 rectangle vinyl liner pool installed. Currently the liner is in and it is filling up with water. Concrete decking will be along in the coming weeks. I talked with my pool builder about installing a slide. The PB told me that it would be best if...

Were you able to find any reviews comparing the EZ panel and the Radiant Metric? I can't find much on the web. I think both look ok, I'm mainly interested in which is going to be stronger when it comes time to do a quick liner change. I don't want the pool to collapse. -CharlieBear

Statman, I feel your pain. I love the look of the "Ultimate" Fabcote / Foxpool, and the Doughboy. The Fabcote / Doughboy dealer near me is a high pressure sales floor, and they won't even discuss sending someone to your house to look at your property and walk through the installation...

Jason, thanks for the response. All of the pools that I have listed are approved for burial by their manufacturer. In fact, they are promoted as pools that can be above ground or buried. I can provide links if necessary. After you have them buried some of the warranties are nullified by...

Statman, I have created a post on some of my research into these pool kits. semi-inground-buried-pools-t60700.html -CharlieBear

I have noticed that there is a lot of good information on here about buried pools and semi above ground pools, but many of the posts I am reading are 2 -3 years old. I'm doing some current research on these pools and I wonder if anyone else would also like to share their findings so that we can...

Greetings all, I'm having my AGP installed in about a week. It is a 27 foot round, with a 52" wall. My pool will have a Hayward sand pump (not sure the model number yet.) I am going to sink the pool 24 to 30 inches in the ground. My question is: Can I still use an above ground pump, or do...
