    Preparing for vacuum issue -- unscrewing outflow gasket under water is hard

    Hi! I have an above ground pool with a sand filter, and I recently purchased an Intex vacuum powered by the pump. It's worked just fine the several times I've used it. However, as I have increased the water level above the level of the outflow, I now can't take it off in order to connect the...

    Flat backwash hose for intex sand pump

    I have a 2800 gph Intex sand pump. I am trying to start the pool season, and I want to backwash the pump, which I used last year for the first time. I purchase one of the flat 2" hose but I can't seem to fit it on the drain of the pump. It is too tight somehow. I need a good 15 foot minimum...

    Preparing for freezing temps with unwinterized AGP pool

    For a number of reasons, I didn't winterize my AGP pool. And on top of that, I'm awaiting a deep freeze here in Houston that might reach into the 20s for two days. What should I do with a few hours left? Keep the sand filter pump running? I'm not sure I have enough rubber stoppers to plug both...

    Included 1000gph pump fails to start

    Dirty pool cover cleanup?

    Hi everyone. I am using the black vinyl pool cover included with my Bestway AGP. I take it off in the afternoon and put it back on in the evening. The problem is the accumulation of dirt, leaves, and water. It's protecting the pool water, but the cover is so big that when I am in the process of...

    Pool, chemistry and timing questions for new above ground pool

    Hello! I love the idea of this site and fellow pool owners helping each other out. I just purchased and installed a Bestway Steel Pro Max 15' round AG pool (48" high). By my calculations it's roughly 5,500 gallons full, and it's not filled all the way to the top so I estimate 4,500 - 5,000...
