Hello all! I hope everyone's spring openers go smoothly. I'm facing a liner replacement this season. At the end of last season our Newfoundland fell off the deck into the pool and tore up the liner trying to climb back out. The pool is a 21x43 AG Aqualeader. The liner was due for replacement...

Has anyone tried using Flex Seal tape to repair a vinyl liner hole?

I've been considering switching from liquid chlorine to an SWG for a few seasons. My concern is the salt may lead to possible corrosion issues. I have an AG Aqualeader 42x21. I believe the walls are vinyl or resin-coated galvanized steel. I also have it wrapped with a considerable amount of...

Hello all, I've been running an Aquabug in our 41x20 AG pool for 6 years. Its performance from the start has been ok but not impressive. I've repaired it a few times over the years and it's currently not working and is disassembled. I'm considering replacing it rather than rebuilding it. I...

Does anybody have any advice on who has the best pricing on safety covers?

Murphy's law is in full effect here. I am decking out my AG pool. In the process, I've relocated the filter from the ground level to the deck. I upsized the piping between the pool and the pump (2hp) to 2" and temporarily used the standard 1.5" flex hoses at the connections. When I connected...

Hello All, My above ground, oval, pool was installed last spring. We had a lot of rain last year and by the end of the summer I discovered a washed out section of cove sand at the transition of the straight side to the radius. It's about 3"-4" long and maybe 1-1/2" deep. (at the end of last...

I'm considering conditioning my pool with salt for comfort but will not be installing a SWG (for now). I was figuring on around 1k ppm. I assume I'll have to raise my CYA, if so is there a calculation for CYA:NAaCl ?

Hello All, Does anybody know if the Kreepy Krauly Baracuda Hoses are compatible with the Hayward Water-bug or have any experience using generic or off brand hoses with Hayward cleaners ?

Having taken TFP's advice to double the size of a SWG, I'm looking at a CompuPool CPX Salt Chlorinator 60K - CPX48. I've read in some threads that CompuPool had some meltdown issues in the past and a lawsuit. Does anyone have any current information on this company and/or model. Or opinion on...

Hello all, I'm looking at a SWG rated for 35,000 gal. My pool is an 42'x20' AG Aqua Leader pool. The pool calculator tells me my pool is 25,400 gal. I've read you should over size the SWG for longer service life and shorter run cycles. Given my pool size, will a 35k SWG be adequate to achieve...
