    Trustworthy source for liners

    While trying to find a trustworthy store, I noticed that many of them boast about having a 70,000 sqft warehouse, and all use the same checkout system. I eventually figured out that most of these sites are just dropshipping via instantonlinepoolstore.com (also known as Under The Sun...

    24" AGP - lost all water - damaged liner

    So it has stopped snowing and I finally get to check out my 24' AGP. As usual, most of the water is gone, but this time, it's completely gone, and the liner got torn in 1 spot (probably caused by ice). It's a straight line, so I'm wondering if there is any product I can use which would weld...

    Need help with deck design

    Hey guys, Finally getting my deck project going, and while designing it in SketchUp, I realized that I am running into trouble with the rim joist closest to the pool. I can't find any good examples of how other people deal with this, and I'm not getting many answers when posting on other...

    Cartridge filter generating loud vibrating noise.

    My 2 year old pump (3rd pool season) has been acting up lately, including generating some real loud vibrating noises which force me to shut the pump down. It looks like it is still moving water around, but the pressure gauge is twitching rapidly, so I am guessing there is a major issue. This...

    Looking for pictures of deck construction & tips

    Hey guys, So I want to build a 2nd stand alone deck to connect my pool to my main deck. I purchased a good book which shows the latest building techniques, but I am having trouble figuring out how to finish the header/outside joists closest to the pool side (since there is no room to finish...

    Would like your opinion about this solar panel setup.

    Last year I purchased 2 2'x20' panels for my 24' AGP. The results were noticable, but not where I want them to be, so I purchased 2 more panels this year. I also decided to replace the very difficult to use Home Depot valves, and go with Jandy valves, since I do plan on automating them soon...

    Looking for the Goldline 10K thermistor datasheet ...

    I am working on a project to monitor my pool temps using the popular Goldline 10k thermistors. While I have found parts of a datasheet which includes what resistance matches what temperatures, I am looking for the Steinhart-Hart coefficients for this thermistor. Does anyone have this info...

    Goldline Valve Actuator GVA-24 Wiring Diagram

    Does anyone have a diagram indicating what pin does what on the 3-pin connector? I am installing one of these to automate my solar panels, but instead of buying an actual pool controller, I am going to integrate it with my home automation, so I need to interface the actuator with relays. The...

    Purchased wrong size Jandy valves, can I use adapters?

    So after installing my solar panels last year, I decided it is time to replace the cheap-but-painful-to-use Home Depot water valves with Jandy units, so I can also automate the setup. Somehow I convinced myself that I had 2" plumbing, so I ordered a 2" Jandy 3-port Diverter valve (4717) and a...

    2nd year, lost at least 50% of water again ...

    So this is my 2nd year owning a 24' AGP, and it looks like I lost most of my water again. This happened last spring as well (and actually damaged most of the end caps), but it remained full once I filled it back up, so I don't think it's a leak. The only thing I can think of is that the snow...

    Installing solar heater panels

    So I just purchased 2 2'x20' SunGrabber panels for my 24' AG pool. I would like to build a rack and put them next to the pool. Distance between pool/filter and the location of the heater is around 20', and I am running a 2-speed Hayward Turbo-Flo II pump. I found some basic rack designs, but...
