    I am wanting to put a cover over my pool equipment to protect it from the harsh sun we get here in the summer months. I am wondering if I need to cover just the pump motor or both the pump and filter? Do you have any recommendations on premade covers?

    New AGP Install

    I am currently installing my new AGP and had a couple of questions. The first question I have is about wall foam. When applying the wall foam to I go over the skimmer and return holes with the foam and just cut them out later when I do the Skimmer and return install? I am assuming I do but...
