So, this is the first summer we've had a pool. Thanks to TFP, we have enjoyed a sparkling clear pool all summer. Fortunately I researched TFP prior to getting a pool, so I've never been "pool stored". I felt like I had this down, and almost on auto pilot. Having a SWG, I was down to just...

Thanks to all you good people here at TFP, we have enjoyed our very first pool for a month now with beautiful water. I have never been "Pool Stored" and feel I have the water balancing down! My question is this: we are leaving on vacation for several days starting tonight. Checked everything...

I am just curious (I'm geeky that way always wanting to understand something) WHY is it recommended that your CYA is higher for a SWG pool than one maintained with bleach? My SWG manual says to maintain at 30, whereas TFP recommends 80? I brought mine up to 60, but just scared to go higher...

According to my Intex SWG manual, for my pool I needed to add 4 bags of 40lb salt, which I did Sunday night (Morton Solar Salt). I don't see it at the bottom of the pool anymore so I'm assuming it is dissolved as it should be. My pump has been running 24 hours a day right now, and when I...

I am in the process of filling my AGP for the first time after just getting it set up on Friday. Right now the water level is about half way, and is slowly filling. It is raining now and also still filing with the garden hose. I've been turning the water on and off because I don't feel...

I am FINALLY setting up my pool for the very first time, and started to fill while putting the ladder together. I got a couple inches of water in it when I got in to smooth the wrinkles out, and the liner WON'T BUDGE! So, I have a submersible pump in there now and dropped the water level to...

Hello all! I'm looking for some advice on when to set up my new Intex pool. I live in the Midwest and currently (looking at Accuweather's extended forecast) it looks like a lot of rain off and on with the temps not getting into the 90's until late June. I have the groundwork almost done but...

Hello all! This is my first question on this great forum. I've been perusing this site for almost a year now in anticipation of putting my very first pool up! I purchased my pool last summer but am just now getting to the point where I will be able to put it up for the first time, hopefully...
