Have an AGP with a winter cover (located in New England). Cover has a bunch of water on it, so I dropped the pump in yesterday afternoon, on top of the cover, to drain the cover. Before I did I looked through the skimmer box and the water level in the pool was about 2" below the bottom of the...

Just found a warranty pdf on Doughboy's site...wall is covered...for original purchaser only. Darn.

We have a 15x35-ish foot Doughboy oval that we inherited. I appreciate the responses to my post last week about rust on the walls...and seeing what I'm seeing on the outside of the pool, I am budgeting to resolve this issue after this summer. I have NO interest in waiting for this thing to...

I've had an AGP since I was a kid, and have had them in a couple homes as an adult, and never heard of one blowing out and failing until last summer, when a local family had their AGP fail and blow out. I started googling to see how it happened and learned that rust, often caused by leaks, is...

We just bought this house late last summer, and only used the pool for a few weeks before closing it. I didn't make a note of which direction my eyeball should be pointed in. I previously have had round pools, and I just pointed them away from the skimmer box to create a circulation. On this...

We are under agreement on a home that has a Dougboy AGP installed in 2013. Obviously we had lots of questions before putting in the offer, and in the midst of the madness I forgot to ask the agent about the pool walls. We noticed when walking around that the walls bulged out in between the...
