While the family and I enjoyed our 24' AG pool installed spring last year, we used a pool ladder as a temporary means of entry and exit. We had full intentions of pouring some concrete piers and building a deck but the price of lumber may curtail the build and have us resort to the pool ladder...

First year of owning an AG pool so this was my first closing. Everything went well. Water level was drained to about 2" below return. It's been roughly 2 months since I closed the pool and I've kept a close eye on debris & rainwater level on top of the cover (with a pillow in the center). Last...

All summer long, we kept a 24' AG pool crystal clear. We've been using Aqua Test strips (I know they're not accurate) and chlorine pucks ( I know they're frowned upon so I recently pulled them). I left for a 4 week business trip and left the wife in charge of the pool. She failed to backwash...

Last week, I completed the install of my first 24' round AG pool and sand filter (new sand). Prior to running the pump, I failed to backwash (rookie mistake) yet ran the pump for about 12 hours then had water tested. After $200 worth of chemicals and 5 days of staged treatments, I have my PH at...

Self install for a 24' AGP. I ran two 120V, 20A dedicated circuits out to a pole 6' from the pool wall. One will be for a 120V GFCI convenience receptacle fed from a standard 20A circuit breaker. For the pump, I purchased a 20A GFCI, single pole circuit braker that snaps into the neutral bus bar...

First time installing a unibead liner or a 24' AG pool for that matter. I scoured the net and followed directions to lay the liner out in the sun, install in 80 degree day and vacuum through the skimmer opening. I'm slowly filling with a garden hose @ 10 gpm to get the wrinkles out of the floor...

I have a used pool uprights and metal wall laid out in my shop (nearly 80' long!). I'm addressing a couple of rust spots then coating with a quality DTM paint. While I have everything laid out, is it worthwhile to coat the bottom inch or two (inside & outside) with foundation coating prior to...

First post after skimming the net for a forum. I took down a used 24', above ground pool 5-6 years ago. It was installed in 1997 and was in excellent condition. It's a sharkline/wilbar sendero 52". My intent is to finally re-install it at my home. Aside from a new liner & a couple of plastic...
