Thanks for the advice, I will lower my water a few inches.

This is my first year closing a newly installed AGP. I have an Aquador and was able to utilize it in addition to a winterizing plug for the Pentair Aqualuminator to seal off my pool without having to lower the water which currently sits about mid-skimmer. I have heard mixed recommendations...

Thank you both for taking the time to respond. Is it worth the extra money to get a more advanced cleaner that climbs and scrubs walls?

I have a 12500 Gallon Oval Semi-Inground Pool with a 6' deep end. I have been considering a robotic cleaner and have seen them advertised for both inground and aboveground pools. I have not been able to find the difference between the cleaners under these two categories other than the fact the...

I appreciate everyone's help with this. It sounds like I should press the PB for additional info. The company I'm dealing with has a good reputation and experience building pools in my area. The downside is I'm dealing with a sales rep that doesn't have the same experience as the...

From what the PB explained, if you have lot of bog it could be an unsuitable foundation for a pool bottom. The hard bottom would help provide support. There are tons of pools in my area and I'm not aware of any issues with liners floating from the water table. This isn't to say it cant or...

I'm in the process of contracting a PB and working out the details for the pool configuration. It will be a vinyl w\steel wall 15 x 27' kidney (12k gallons) ranging from 3.5' to 6.5' deep. I live near the water on Long Island. I recently had a test hole dug on my property and found that the...

The heater is optional at this point, but might be something installed in the future. I will have to see if the queen (my wife) is willing to go into a pool if it is not heated. Good information on the minimum flow rates. I will definitely take that into consideration when determining what...

Thanks Jason. Electrical cost is .19 kwh. On the high side, but based on you comments it sounds like the vs might be overkill for the proposed configuration. Are there any drawback to using lower speed for filtering if I'm using the swg? I have heard mixed opinions on this. Also does that...

I know this topic has been bounced around in a few different threads, but every scenario is different and I'm having trouble finding out what the best choice is. The various PB's I have talked to all have different opinions which makes it even more difficult to decide. I live on the east...
