Good to know it isn't just me. My pump died last year so I need something to replace it.

Is anyone else finding that pumps are either backordered or not available? I need a replacement system and can't find any that are available. (above ground)

I hope it is just needing to dry out. I unplugged it and place it off the ground so hopefully it will dry out and be good to go. Obviously I need to get the plugs off the ground.

This is my second season with the pool. I have the SWG and the pump plugged into an outside power outlet. The safety outlet with the special switch (can't remember the name) is in the bathroom. I went to turn on the SWG and pump and had no power. I went inside the house and reset the outlet...

The salt reading is 3130. I was thinking I needed to increase the CYA a little. I'm always a little iffy when doing the CYA test (do I see the dot or do I not see the dot is always the question). The CYA has been in for a week now. I'm chlorinating with the SWG now. I started with bleach...

Here are the results of my latest test: FC: 11 CC: 0.5 TC: 11.5 TA: 100 CH: 50 CYA: 60 PH: 7.5 Any suggestions or are my levels good at this point? I realize the chlorine is high but that will drop. Do I need to add some more cynauric acid??

Okay here are the newest numbers: FC: 4 CC: 0 TC: 4 TA: 90 CH: 60 CYA: 60 PH: closer to 6.8 than prior day. Going to add more soda ash to get the pH up. Any other suggestions?

I added some bleach and soda ash. I will recheck the levels tomorrow.

I'm not very ingenious when it comes to making stuff.

Those are apparently no longer made. I've checked around online trying to find this item and it is "out of stock" everywhere.

I'd would love a shelf attached to my AGP. Any ideas of how to create one or where to get one?

What FC level do you think I should be trying to reach?

Thank you everyone. This site is always such a help with any questions I have.

I have my pool setup now. I've added chlorine and cynauric acid. This is my second year with the pool. Last year I set it up late in the summer and didn't get too much time with it. Below are the results of my TF-100 testing kit for my 4600 gallon Ultra Frame Intex Pool with SWG and 2500...

Would the Dyna Skimmer fit the 1 1/2" hole that the current intex occupies? - - - Updated - - - I pulled the plastic out too and realized I would never get it back in. Just doesn't make sense to have the holes there if they will be covered up with the plastic.
