Local store has suggested I use Endure/borate since I keep my levels balanced well. Have read some on it now, and wondering how many others use it. 1.How do you like it? 2. Do you feel it's worth the cost? (it's 50% right now locally) 3. any down sides? 4. what happens If I decide to not...

Dont know if this is right place, and didn't find anything with sunscreen search. Anyway, read a little bit about sunscreens in pool causing problems, it was older unfo. Any up to date stuff regarding the best sunscreens to use in pools? Or how to minimize problems?

Just to double check. It is safe to bury a aluminum agp say half way up the side of the pool post and all? The high side of yard is about 2 ft higher than low side.

I skimmed through the manual and couldn't find any specifics. Here's what I found, and I dont quite understand. The E - SERIES Chlorinat or control has a Rating of IP 2 3 enabling it to be installed outdoors . Regulations require that the control is not allowed to be located within 3 .5...

Ok guys/girls, I'm getting a AGP installed, and I'm being told I need a hook-up/power supply for my astral 35 swg needs to be a 220v 50amp and the pump needs a separate 110v 20amp supply. That sound right? They originally said the swg doesn't use that much energy. The above suggests different...

I assume If I set the Pump and SWG to run (on low) for 10 hours a day, that would keep chlorine up and water filtered adequately??

About to pull trigger on a AGP, question in regards to swg size. I have been told to get a bigger SWG than what comes in normal package(usually are underrated?) Anyway, The one that they (pool store) say i need is rated up 25,000 gal. (Astral e25), the bigger one is rated for 35,000gal. (Astral...

Ok, Thanks guys. Any input on the quality of carvin pumps, and the Astral e25 running at a minimum of 4000ppm salt? Thinking of buying out right another swg and trying to get the installers to put in with pool. (store only sells/deals with the astral)

UUGGHHHH! Need some longevity insight guys. Sticking with a 27' round AGP I'd like to go saltwater generator, but some local stores are saying even a aluminum wall, resin post,rail will have problems in 6-7 yrs. Plus they use carvin pumps, and the Astral e25 or 35(thats fine i guess, just says...

Nope it's no good or nope haven't heard anything about them? Jacuzzi no good?

Well, I looking at a 27' round pool (54" wall) Local store uses a pump with 1.5" plumbing and is a 2 speed pump, assuming 1.5hp (i"ll need to check on that), and was atleast a 24" sand filter(i think he said it was slightly bigger, cant remember now), and the SWG is a ASTRAL E25 (e35 available)...

Local store has these and I haven't read much about them good or bad.

Another question has arose. What about liner types? Beaded, unibead or overlap. Seems like a unibead would be better for a saltwater pool, correct?

So how about a 1.5hp variable speed pump, and from some reading a 24" sand filter and 2"plumbing? is this sound right?

with a salt system, what all chemicals do i need to maintain a clear clean pool?
