    URGENT: gas pipe diameter for Hayward H250FDN!!!

    You should be more concerned about the size of your meter being able to handle the additional BTU's required to run the pool heater. That is the first thing you should have verify. The gas company will know what size gas pipe to install. The Gas Company needs to know what other gas appliances...

    Limited amount of back fill 18'X33'X52" ovel AGP

    When leveling the ground that was 4 inches above the required limit (of one inch) the Bobcat dug down 7" on one side to level the surface. Is there a limit as to how much back fill can be applied without damaging the walls of the pool? Thanks!

    Location of Return Hose

    location of return hose in relation of the skimmer. any thoughts from anyone as to have the return hose positioned say 12" from the bottom? I'm having a 18'X34'X52" oval above ground pool installed and thought by having it at this location it would improve the circulation. Thanks!

    Should I be concerned with the PH of fill water

    I just purchased a new above ground oval pool 18' X 33' X 4.5' deep. I need to have water trucked in to fill it. My question is: should I be concerned with the PH level, question the company delivering it, or check it and adjust it accordingly? Thanks!
