    Did not hear back from him yet but received info from another source. Punching holes is no problem. It was recommended to Install 2 LWS ( low water suction) inlets about 4’ apart and about 2’ from the bottom of the wall using standard Hayward SP1023 wall returns for AGpools. Then use a Hayward...

    Mentioned my project to a customer today and he said his son-in-law works for a pool installer. He took my number and will inquire about adding the lines to an AGP. If I get any info, I’ll share it here.

    This was one of my top candidates. I guess it’s future proof if I ever decide to put in a slide for the grandkids. Was also thinking about adding a intake and return to the pool with 2” sch 40. Could not find a thread referring to this. Pool was delivered on Friday. Figured if adding any inlets...

    I’ve decided on the Hayward Swim Clear 325 sq ft cartridge filter. I only found 1 powerflo VS300 Pump in Georgia and they will not ship. I talked to Hayward and they gave me 3 dealer numbers to call and I’ve been unable to get a return call. I think I’m stuck with a IGP for my AGP. I was looking...

    Thanks for the links. Good read! The PowerFlo VS300 is playing hard to get. I’ve called 3 online pool suppliers and they do not carry the pump. I called Leslies and they told me they don’t carry it and I would have to go thru Hayward directly who they said are currently closed. ( I did not...

    Thanks for your reply. The power flow VS 300 looks great. I will go with the above ground VS pump. Just for learning purposes, is it detrimental to install a IGP on a ABP. I do understand that IGP’s are self priming but are there other differences that would make is a non recommended option?

    Thinking of changing to a cartridge filter.

    I’m a newbie to the forum but after reading this thread I could not resist having to comment. I have zero experience with large pools. My largest pool was 2000 gallons and I switched from the tiny Intex A cartridge to a small bestway sand filter/pump combo. The difference was incredible. The...
