so what makes me think it's the filter is that the water level is half way across the skimmer. The PSI on the gauge for the filter is at 20. I emptied it our and washed it and added new DE when starting it back up...went from 10 psi to 20psi after about 10 minutes. Lots and lots of algae in...

Having issues opening our pool. End of season last year we bought a DE filter. Had it running at the end of season. Currently In the process of SLAMing the pool. My pump starts up great, then loses suction. Water flow seems minimal. I shut it off, and then turn it back on...water flow is great...

We built a deck completely around and up against the pool. Do you think this will help stabilize the pool if we were to wait until spring to replace the liner and fill the pool? We've had so many issues with this liner all season we are convinced it's either defective or we have really bad luck.

Could use some advice on what we should do with our AG pool when closing it. We had so many issues over the summer with the pool and turns out we need to replace the liner. We closed the pool thinking the issue with the liner was somewhere around the return or the skimmer since we new earlier in...

Long story short....We replaced our existing 24' round AG Pool this season. We put it together ourselves, including the liner. We ended up with an issue mid-season with the liner pulling away from the skimmer...big leak issue. Resolved the leak issue and had more pool water delivered. Sand...

What is the multi port or plunger valve? I emptied the unit twice and inspected it and can't seem to find the problem. The element seems fully intact. The big difference of this filter from the sand filter is the force of the water. There is a significant increase in the flow of water back into...

I just replaced our sand filter with an AC DE-95 Filter. First time I set it up and got things running I added the DE powder as instructed thru the skimmer. It immediately blew out into the pool from the return. I called the pool store and they suggested that it could just be the force of the...

Love the idea of wall foam on the bottom. I'll see what I can rig so it doesn't hit hard on pool bottom. Thanks!

I looked online and there are so many different types and I cannot tell which brand name this one is. Just curious if anyone thinks this one sits above the pool bottom or hits the pool bottom. Also worried about the liner in contact with this ladder. Has anyone experienced issued with the ladder...

So I put a patch below the skimmer. After many calls around to pool repair guys we decided to get as much use out of the pool this season with the patch in place and then in the spring drain the pool and replace the liner. I've been told that this type of repair is a ticking time bomb and that...

Need help installing our pool ladder that attaches to the deck. We tore down our existing pool and put a new one and built a deck all around the pool. Now we are re-installing the pool ladder and cannot remember how it was previously installed. Does anyone have experience on installing this type...

Thank you for your reply! I like how you went about repairing it. I'm going to give it a try this weekend. The one day we're getting a lot of rain I have to drain the pool several inches during a period of drought. My issue is working with the butterfly gasket. Once I get the patch on the liner...

So if I drain past the skimmer, any suggestions on how to fix this long term? It's less than a centimeter away from the skimmer plate.

Any way I can fix this without draining the pool? We are in a drought and will have issues filling pool back up. Even draining down past the skimmer will be an issues. I thought of trying duct tape maybe? It's a butterfly gasket which is definitely not providing enough coverage to create a good...
