I need some help! So much confusion calling local dealers. Some say yes, some say no. I'm looking for a robot cleaner to replace my deceased Pool Rover JR. Hated the tangled cord and cleaning that bag. Looking around here, google and local stores comes up with different answers. Locally most...

I purchased an AQ-TROL-RJ-TL. Hooked up easily and manual says it does not need a flow control since it's a return jet and it being vertical. I cannot get it out of no flow error code. I called Hayward support a couple days ago and she said I need to check the AL level under diagnostics. It...

I have a 2 speed pump and prefer to run it on low with the heater running. With the return on the end of the pool the water doesn't really reach the other end easily. I was thinking of adding a 2nd return on the other end to help heat up faster and to help circulate the water better. Is this a...

I'm in the process of planning an ODK. We had a stone wall put in last year along with leveling out a nice size area (1800sqft) for the patio near the pool. Due to time, weather, budget etc. the patio was not finished. I put down and compacted a crushed stone base with stone dust on top last...

Now that my FC levels are stable and the water looks great I need a little help with some adjustments. Not sure what to adjust first. FC: 5.5 pH: 7.0 T/A: 70 CYA: 30 Vinyl pool so I didn't test CH. I know the pH is low so should I attack that one first? Thanks!

I'm building a 4' deck around my AGP. I have the framing done except for around the skimmer and cover. I'm thinking of leaving that open with the decking coming close to it for easy access. The decking is 5/4 ipe that is going just under the top rail. I don't have enough height to cover it with...

I installed an AGP late august last year. Got a good deal being end of season and went for it. This past weekend I started building a deck around it. I had to uncover it and found a lovely dark green murky pool. With the deck framing I had to re-do some of the hard line plumbing I had done last...

I have a brand new pool and am new to this closing thing. The air pillow i have says "water" on the only valve on it. I know it needs air, but it looks sealed with a plug. The plug does not appear to be removable. Do I poke a hole in it so I can fill it with my compressor or am I just being...

My pool was installed and filled on Friday. I tested the pH and it was almost 0 so I used the pool calculator and it said to add (7) 182oz jugs of bleach. I added 4 not wanting to over do it. I let the pump run on high for about 2 hours after adding the bleach. This was Target brand 6% if that...

I just ordered my AGP and all the other stuff needed except for the ladder. We'd really like to have steps in the pool and not a ladder. My town requires a self closing gate. What I found was http://www.gomainaccess.com/_ma/index.cfm/stepsladders/easy-entry-system/ almost perfect and I thought I...

I'm getting my permit approved this week for the pool so it's time to order. What am I missing? Sharkline Matrix 15x30x54 beaded liner Hayward EC 50 DE filter Hayward 1hp 2 speed pump TF100 test kit - ordered this morning. Pool Rover Jr Clear 12mil solar cover pool ladder/steps w/ gate (needed...

I am submitting the permit for a new pool tomorrow. I'm still looking at what equipment to get. Here's what I have in mind: * Sharkline Matrix 15x30x54 (12k gallons if the calculator was right) - Is Sharkline a good pool? I was looking at Namco but the stores don't help any * (always different...

I'm looking at installing a 15x30x54 AGP. I have an older Intek SWG that will beep if there is no water flow when it's running and will not work if it loses power forcing me to reset the timer. If I use this on a new AGP can I use a timer on the pump or should I get a 2 speed pump and let it run...

I'm looking at initally a 15x30. The 18x33 is $400 more (upcharge for pool size and installation). Is it worth it? Next year I will be adding a deck all the way around so that will be extra too. I have 3 kids (8,6 and 4) so I'm sure they'd like the extra space. Thanks.

Hi. We started with a pool when my oldest daughter was 3ish. It was $49 at Home Depot - intek inflatable. Worked well and much better than a plastic 12" high pool. That didn't make it through a winter (mice) and we went with the Intek 15' metal frame pool. Now my kids (8,6,4) are ready for a...
