Is there an easy way to remove the C-clip on a Hayward SP1580X15 pump? The strainer cover cracked so we are just replacing the entire pump. In the process of attempting said replacement, I have run across a very stubborn c-clip. Pls see attached diagram with location of clip highlighted. Not...

Can anyone tell me what type of hose this is and where I can get more?

Hi all!! So the pool had been doing fine then we got some rain and it got a little ill looking. Got it back to beautiful again and now it is a light green, hazy color. You can see some stuff on the bottom of the pool. The readings are: Alkalinity 100ppm pH 8.0 Free chlorine 6.5ppm Combined...

The hose going from our skimmer to the pump strainer/basket crimps when we try to vacuum the pool. I've seen several posts that mention hard plumbing. Has anyone done this? Due to an outrageous algae problem, we are having to vacuum to waste until we get it under control. Having PVC instead of...

Pool still resembles a swamp. Spoke to our pool guy 2 days ago. I had asked his opinion of draining all the way down, scrubbing, and refilling. He suggested something called "Back to Blue". Swears by it. Has seen it work on worse than ours. If that doesn't work, then we will drain, clean and...

All the problems with the pool getting clear and getting the old water out and clean water in, etc. Well, now we have a problem of a different color. We are in the middle of a wicked ice storm that has wreaked havoc on everyone. We are going into day 2 of no power. Long story short, the pool now...

We have a Doughboy 12x24 oval above ground pool. It was installed a little over a year ago. Until recently, it was sparkling clean and clear and a joy to swim in. Recently we have had major issues getting it to stay clear for any substantial amount of time. The pictures below were taken...

We just got an agp last week. There was one here when we bought the house in 2014 but we dismantled it in 2017. Anyway, I want the area around the pool to be really nice but I have a few questions that I would appreciate input on. 1) Do I back-fill before doing anything else? 2) If so, can I...

Hi all! My name is Missy. My husband and I live in Austin, Texas along with our kids and animals. I am very excited to be an AGP owner again and I look forward to gleaning lots of great advice! Our old AGP came with the house that we purchased in 2014. Due to previous neglect and bad...

We had to dismantle our old AGP about 3 years ago bec it was really old and had become very rusted. Most of the hardware holding it together had rusted so badly that attempts to replace with new bolts caused the area around the holes to disintegrate. Fast forward to today. Our new AGP is about...
