Very nice! I need to send this to the people that think I am crazy for not going to the pool store (well, if the dang pool ever gets installed)! Well done, congrats!

Cool, then we are about 200 miles away. Good job on your pool thus far. I almost got convinced to use Baquacil by the pool store (before I found this wonderful place) but will be opening my pool to the BBB method from the beginning. Good luck this year, and hope to be swimming soon!

Somewhat off topic, but what part of MO (we are east of KC)? My pool is suppose to be installed next week, if it would stop raining! What is your pool temperature right now and are you heating it in anyway? Thanks!

Here! TF Test Kits Duraleigh, who posted above, is the one who sells this great kit!

Thanks, first time pool owner, and first time BBB operator! I think I'm set, but I will definitely be posting my fill water readings on here for backup, so I can get it up and going most efficiently (along w/ the pool calculators help). My father-in-law (past pool owner) is questioning just...

Anyone else suffering installation woes? Ours was suppose to be installed last Wednesday, but due to rain, the other 8 installs in front of us got partially delayed. It was rescheduled to this Wednesday, but that appears like it will not happen with rain over the weekend, and very good chances...

Thanks for the info Jason, I will treat the pool once it's full and get the numbers up where they need to be, and just keep an eye on it till it warms up. Thanks for your help last night too, I emailed you about the PoolCalculator question.

Thanks for the info lovingHDTV, and everyone else too. Pool dealer said he would trade me straight up for the larger 22.5" filter and kick me back down to the 1hp. He was just confirming that it would hook up to it correctly. He also said that weather permitting, the pool should be installed...

Minor update: Got a hold of my pool rep, and he didn't question my move, and thought that the price difference ($50) for the pump upgrade may be the same for the bigger filter; he's checking into it.

I mentioned the backwash and electricity factors to her, and got the response..."hmmm, I don't know, it should run as efficient as the smaller filter" and then something along the lines of "a filter is a filter". Myself not knowing the tech specs of pools at all, really can't explain myself to...

My sales person wasn't there, so they told me to call back...she tried to assist me, but said she had never heard of anyone putting the bigger filter on the 1 or 1.5hp pump. It generally comes standard w/ the 19.5" and wasn't even for sure they could get the 22'5". So, what are the benefits of...

Good morning, I hope to be in contact w/ my pool dealer in a few hours. Does anyone else have any insight on the above questions, and due to time constraints, more importantly the pump/filter question? I think I will see if I can downgrade the motor to the 1hp, but see about upping to the...

Thanks thus far! Here are the choices, based off of the brochure they gave me: Pentair Sand Dollar Filters PDF So, I could use the bigger one (22.5") on the 1hp pump?

Hello everyone, great information posted in here...I think I killed a tree today printing out a bunch of posts on chemicals, tips, etc. The above ground pool I ordered is a 27', 52" high, 16,420 gallon capacity (according to my flyer). It is to be installed within a couple weeks; so just...
