I have a 2 year old 15x30 salt water AGP. I had a builder put it up, and they installed the skimmer and return fitting. I connected the rest of the plumbing, including the salt generator. I noticed a small trail of rusty color dripping from the return fitting on the outside of the pool. I...

Thank you, Herman. Took the filter drain plug off and the gasket has some fraying on it,, so I will get a replacement for that. Understood on the union. Will take them apart and review the mating surfaces. What type of lubricant is acceptable? Last question has to do with the order of...

I figured there are several people in the same boat on this subject. So, on a related note, I opened this weekend, and ran the pump for half a day, then tested this morning, after getting the water level right. This is my first season of opening after winterizing after installing last spring...

So, according to Pool Math, my target FC for SLAM is 39. Does that seem correct? Is that such a high value due to the elevated CYA (100).

So, I am ready to close my AGP for the first time, and have read the articles on closing but still have some lingering questions. My measurements this AM were pH 7.8, FC 7.5, TA 120, CYA 100. The SWCG is not producing chlorine as water temp is 58 degrees. So, do I need to make any adjustments...

Mike, Yes the OTO test appeared on the high side (deep yellow). I have never done the task of figuring out how/what to adjust to get the numbers in the correct range, but it seems like I should turn the SWCG down a few percentage points, and decrease the pump run time in an effort to produce...

I put up a new 15x30 oval this year, late May. Sharkline with all Circupool gear (1.5 Hp VSP, 150 sf cartridge filter, RJ-120 SWCG). It's a 54" sidewall, and I estimated the gallons to be approx. 11500. I hard plumbed everything in 2" PVC and got the pool filled and up and running. Set the...

So, after 2 years of research, and prep work, and lots of reading, I can finally post my results. Here is my project: a new 15x30x54" Sharkline Matrix with all Circupool hydraulics. This site was originally filled with multiple trees and an aging deck (which was not properly flashed to the...
