    I want a swg pool wife wants chlorine ? ? ?

    your wife is correct. it costs more upfront. and it will rust the wall / frame quicker than chlorine. it will be harder on the equipment. it will probably void the warranty.

    When to run pump for first time?

    read the manual for the sand filter. you should run a rinse cycle so the fine sand doesnt blow into the pool. also you shouldnt have air in the lines because you have an abg. if you still have air, bleed the air out of the sand filter doug

    new install 21' round above ground and Liner failed ! What Now ?

    pull the old liner out and patch it in the mean time. put a patch on the back and a patch on the front. fill the pool and enjoy. it wll take forever to get a replacement liner this year. dont worry about the sand or pad. they will dry out in a day or 2. doug
