When my wife and I purchased our 24' AGP we purchased a white vinyl fence kit for it from our local FEHL's pool company. After pulling all of the permits and starting the build our township told us that we didn't need to install this because of the following: We have a fenced in yard and they...

I tore down my old deck of 10 years and will be installing a composite one over the next two weeks. My Wife and I are looking at replacing our pool ladder as well at that time. Which pool ladder would you recommend? I plan to affix the ladder to the new deck. Currently I am considering this one...

Hello everyone. While on vacation I had a local pool store come and install PVC plumbing and move my sand filter and pump about 20' from the pool. The skimmer basket line is nice and straight, but the return side comes out of the ground into the return at a 45* angle. Is there a reason for this...

So in 2009 we had a 24' round pool installed and used it quite often until about 2013 when my job took me away from home a lot. Since then the multiple winter covers have been destroyed and with the pool seeing no use for the past few years, it just got darker and darker; not sure what's living...

While some have opened their pool, are in the process, or will be, I will be looking to recover mine when I return home in 2 weeks for 2 weeks. I’ve been traveling a lot for the past few years and am not home to attend to the pool like I would like to be. Therefore, over the past three seasons...

Hello everyone. Kimmy Kat Kat's (haha) and Jim R. brought up looking into an SWG for my AGP for easier maintenance. Especially in my case where I am gone from home a lot. Typically my wife will just join the local pool when I'm not there in the summer and has for the past three years, but she...

Have any of the admins ever entertained having a section exclusively for individuals or companies who follow the TFP method of pool care? I ask because although it's simple enough to ask for help and follow recommendations, it would be even easier to have someone who follows the TFP method who...

Hello everyone. This season I was thinking about replacing my liner. The liner is 8 years old this year and was originally installed with our pool. For this reason I do not know the mil or quality of the liner. I purchased my 24' round from NAMCOM in early 2009, so I'm sure it's so-so. Anyhow...

Part I: I started the open and SLAM process Friday evening when I got home. At the time the pool was a medium shade of green from an algae problem. Currently the pool is a cloudy blue. I can see about a 1/3 of the way down. FRI FC: 0 CC: 0 PH: >9? TA: 370 CH: 125ppm CYA: Water went to the...

I called a few pool companies around me to get quotes on opening my pool, killing the algae and setting up my new 300lb Hayward Sand Filter and pump. One place said they would prefer to use the old filter system as it's preferred over the sand filtering element. I didn't want to get into it with...

Good evening everyone. I was wondering if there was anyone close to the Newmanstown (Lebanon / Berk County), Pennsylvania (17073) area that had their own pool business or worked on pools on the side? If so and you'd be willing to do so, maybe you wouldn't mine getting my AGP pool opened. I could...

Hey everyone. I have a 24' AGP and I'm in the process of converting from filter to sand. One of the members here recommended a 300lb Hayward sand filter (S244) along with a Hayward (SP1592) 1hp 2 speed pump if I chose to replace my Proline 1.5hp 2 speed pump. On eBay I found both Hayward...

Hello everyone. I tried to read through the forums before posting, but I still couldn't completely get my head wrapped around square footage, GMP, etc, etc. About 6 years ago my wife and I purchased a 24' round above-ground which is approximately 54" high. The sales associate at Namco (probably...
