Hi All, We had an 21' round AGP installed 6 years ago and we've had leaking from the in-wall skimmer. This is going to be my 3rd skimmer replacement in 6 years. Does anyone else have this type of skimmer installed on their pools? Most skimmers I see online is where the red border is at. But...

The E70 is the newer model. The E70 has different colors, water temperature sensor, and in/out of water sensor. Otherwise, its mostly the M600.

The only thing I wished they added to the above ground robots was the anti-tangle cord. Adding a dolphin anti-tangle cord will set you back another $300.

Hi all, I'm getting mixed responses when asking about what Dolphin cleaner can be used in an above ground pool. I was reading that some use the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus on their hard sided AGP. But then I talked to a Dolphin repair shop and they recommend staying with just a floor cleaner like...

Hi Everyone, i was wondering if there is a difference between the LaMotte DPD 1A, DPD 1B, DPD 3 vs the Taylor’s R-0001, R-0002, and R-0003? I used the LaMotte and Taylor reagents on the Color Q Pro 7 and the produced similar results. The only difference is that the Color Q uses a spectrometer...

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone has used flex core PVC Schedule 40 for their above ground pool? Is a pool plumbing a pressure application? I was excited to hard plumb my AGP and it was going great. I was cutting the PVC pipe with a ratchet cutter and it was going well until I started...

Couple of questions: 1) Do we really need to use Polyquat 60 Algaecide? or can we leave it out? Consequence? 2) When to add the Algaecide? Before or after TC at shock level? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for clarifying the procedure everyone!!

Hi Everyone, I've been testing my pool water fairly regularly and wanted to know if I should stop my TA test when the water turns to pink or red? My Ta has been 100 when it turns pink, 110 when it turns red. Which should I use?

Thanks Divin Dave. According to PoolMath at my given level of TA and Borate, I should add 79 oz of Borax to raise my PH to 7.5. Do I just spread the Borax in the pool?

Hi Everyone, It's been raining here in Chicago and I've had my solar cover on and left my Frog (getting rid of this when my heater gets installed) on at 4. I tested my water today and my results were from My ColorQ Pro 7 were FC 9.85, TCL 9.85, Ph 7.0, Alk 96, CH 124, and CYA 22. My Br level is...

I haven't added the CYA yet. It's at 22 right now. I've opened the dichlor and used it to increase the cya to the current level.

I bought a 25lb bucket of dichlor before i fiund this site. Can i use that to raise my FC and CYA. Once i get my CYA to 20-30 then use liquid chlorine?
