Hello all - I need to drain my pool to do some repairs under the liner. I'm trying to figure out how long it will take to drain the pool. I have a Waterway 2 hp high flow pump. That said, it shows 150 gpm at 5ft of head. Am I correct in the following logic? I'm going to put this pump on the...

Hello Everyone - I have an above ground pool that's been up for 2 years. I had some sand washout under the liner and a section of the sand cove. I added a "french drain' around the pool to stop this from happening again. I just purchased Perfect Bottom and foam cove to help if I do get some...

Hello - I just finished plumbing a couple of solar panels on the roof. For the sake of a sanity check, is this plumbed correctly? These are 4x20 Solar Bear Panels. So the supply and return are both on the same side. I plumbed them parallel but with a slight deviation that I read about in...

Hello. Are there any tips for doing the Chlorine test with the Taylor test kit that comes with the TFPTK? I can't distinguish between those shades of yellow beyond the lowest level. Will the difference be more distinct when held against a different color background? Also, I used the chlorine...

Hello. I'm getting ready to run the permanent electric runs for the pool. The circuit will have a dedicated GFI in the main panel. I'm working with the electrician across the street from me, so I have knowledgeable help. I have the normal outlets planned, pump, light, low voltage lights...

Hello everyone. I have a new AGP installed and filled in Nov. 07. It just got warm enough to get in the pool. I was surprised the bottom felt the way it did. The liner has a lot of dips in it. Like others, they are roughly the diameter of a golf ball. Some are more elongated than others...
