Great, thank you all so much!

Should I let it run for a bit or just turn it on?

No, no softener

Hey y'all, The title says it all. AG pool being installed next week and I would like to test the water before the fill. Is there a recommended way to 'draw' the water for the testing? By that I mean, should I let the water run for a bit or just pull it from a non filtered tap into a jar? I am...

Thanks Dave! Would you recommend the bottom foam with sand or instead of sand?

That green is fabulous and will look amazing with an aqua blue!

I am purchasing a 24'x54" Saltwater 8000 AG Round Pool from the Pool Factory with a 30 gauge unibead liner I am getting the pool cove and the wall foam but am also looking into a Gorilla Pad, as well as foam board. Is this overkill? If it were you, which of these (or any other suggestions) would...

Hi Ed, Thank you for your response and very wise advice. Although I have been looking into the pool for quite some time (about a year), the information given to me in just the last month has caused me great concern. This site has been a blessing for sure, especially due to people like yourself...

That one is great! Am putting it on my buy list for our new pool!

Thank you for sharing your thread, I had seen it when I was lurking the forums. It looks like it will be amazing!! I guess by changing the excavation I am thinking of a 2.5 ft deep hole vs one that is quite deeper. If we go with a pool that is strong enough to be semi IG, I might be able to...

We have a pool that is smaller than yours and I found a solar powered water fountain for it, makes a huge difference. Was less than $20 on Amazon

Thank you for responding! We actually do have a small 10 foot round pool that we purchased last year. I think we can maybe get one more year out of it, it had damage from roots last year (lessons learned the hard way) and always felt like we were swimming in a bathtub but it was wet and it...

Have decided on an AG, am switching my questions to that group. Thank you to everyone that has responded!

Thank you! I have printed out the ABC's and downloaded the Kindle version of the Pool School Book and will keep reading the threads!
