I am encountering this issue right now! LOL It looks as though that side of the pool is off by about an inch. Guess I'm gonna have to drain and restart.

I am having an electric panel installed in the back yard so that I can attach a Intelliflow pump, propane heater and salt cell. The equipment will sit about 25 feet away from the pool. Do I need to bond this type of AGP to the pump? Or is grounding the pump to the panel fine? It is a 52" deep...

Oh man I am dying laughing. Thanks for that! LOL I guess my main concern was deciding between the lesser of two evils: using a reducer at the skimmer connection or at the pump connection. My instincts are telling me that using a reducer at the pump connection would not be a great idea. LOL

LMAO

Thanks! The current plumbing is 1.5 because the old pump was 1.5. I'm moving from an Intex (.85hp) to a Pentair Intelliflow VSF (3Hp). I want to take advantage of the larger pipe size because I am like you. Go big or go home! LOL I should now be able to add features (fountains, etc) into the...

The outlet of my 15K gallon AGP Hayward Skimmer is 1.5". I have just upgraded to a VSP pump that uses 2" connectors. Would it cause a problem if I run 2" pipe from the pump, underground across the yard (about 20 feet), then back up to the skimmer but use a 2" to 1.5" pvc reducer to connect the...

It's crazy I am going through the same thing! I decided to replace two corners of mine(2018 version), but of course they no longer have those in stock. I chatted with support and they provided me with an alternative. Received it and it appears to be about 1.5 inches short. :/ Gonna call them to...

OMG this is gold! Thank you so much!

I am going to be installing a new wide mouth skimmer on our Intex Ultra frame pool(new liner). Last time I installed one of these, I split the gasket into two halves, installed one half on the inside one half on the outside. I've seen videos of people putting the faceplate on as a guide, cutting...

Hey everyone, I am about to add a skimmer and convert to 1.5" pvc for my 16x32" intex pool. Is there a max distance away from the return I can install the skimmer? Or is it more effective to keep them closer to each other like the stock config? My pump is the I was thinking about installing it...

Anyone have experience with this cleaner?

Just curious if one of these would work well in an AGP. Anyone give it a shot?

I am currently changing all intake/out plumbing to 1.5 pvc , and have almost made it to the pump. I had the info saved somewhere, but now I can't find it. What adapter size should I use to connect the in on the pump and the out of the filter to my 1.5" pvc plumbing?

The Kruiser is a suction side. I already have a suction port. Just wondering if the vac would damage the vinyl. A neighbor is willing to sell me an almost new one for $150 so I am considering it.
