Thanks!

Hello all! I hope everyone's spring openers go smoothly. I'm facing a liner replacement this season. At the end of last season our Newfoundland fell off the deck into the pool and tore up the liner trying to climb back out. The pool is a 21x43 AG Aqualeader. The liner was due for replacement...

Has anyone tried using Flex Seal tape to repair a vinyl liner hole?

Hello, did you sale the unit?

I've been considering switching from liquid chlorine to an SWG for a few seasons. My concern is the salt may lead to possible corrosion issues. I have an AG Aqualeader 42x21. I believe the walls are vinyl or resin-coated galvanized steel. I also have it wrapped with a considerable amount of...

Hello all, I've been running an Aquabug in our 41x20 AG pool for 6 years. Its performance from the start has been ok but not impressive. I've repaired it a few times over the years and it's currently not working and is disassembled. I'm considering replacing it rather than rebuilding it. I...

Does anybody have any advice on who has the best pricing on safety covers?

We added a bit of extra decking when the COVID lockdown hit

Mark, Thanks for the reply. I went ahead and increased the 2" suction line to a 3" and eliminated as many bends as possible from both the new 3" suction line and the original 2" return line. My pressures are now back in line and the aqua bug works properly. PS, The valved garden hose...

Murphy's law is in full effect here. I am decking out my AG pool. In the process, I've relocated the filter from the ground level to the deck. I upsized the piping between the pool and the pump (2hp) to 2" and temporarily used the standard 1.5" flex hoses at the connections. When I connected...

Hello Dave, I just wanted to update you on the results. I walked the PH down to 6.8 and held it there for a few days and tried brushing. With considerable effort, we made little progress. I decided to abandon the operation as it seems mostly cosmetic and the masses were getting restless about...

Will do. Thanks Dave!

No, I've never used pucks. I made the mistake of listening to the guy at the pool store and used calcium hypochlorite last year when I opened and slammed the pool. Yesterday, I pulled the cover off. topped it off with the hose (Chicago municipal) started the filter and added 8 gallons of 12.5%...

Here's what I've got Dave; CH 125 TA 110 PH 7.0 Chorine 5+ FC 4 CYA unknown (waiting on delivery of reagent)

Thanks, Dave How concerned should I be about my vinyl liner at a 6.8 PH? I'm guessing the short term shouldn't be a problem.

Hello all, When I opened last year I shocked my pool with Calcium Hypochlorite. A lot over about a week trying to knock down an algae bloom. I then added acid to adjust the ph. It dropped a bit to low. When I added Borax to bring it back up it instantly produced a milky colored cloud that...

Adding sand from the inside.

Sorry for the delayed response. Life keeps getting in the way of my fun. Thank you all for your input and advise! I think my problem is critters. Voles? My dogs bring them home now and then. I stared draining the pool last night. I'm down to about a foot of water. I plan to take the water level...

Hello All, My above ground, oval, pool was installed last spring. We had a lot of rain last year and by the end of the summer I discovered a washed out section of cove sand at the transition of the straight side to the radius. It's about 3"-4" long and maybe 1-1/2" deep. (at the end of last...

Ok, Thanks Jason!

I think I lost my original response, if so, If "there is no reason to raise the CYA just due to adding salt", why the need for elevated CYA in a SWG pool?

I'm considering conditioning my pool with salt for comfort but will not be installing a SWG (for now). I was figuring on around 1k ppm. I assume I'll have to raise my CYA, if so is there a calculation for CYA:NAaCl ?

Hello All, Does anybody know if the Kreepy Krauly Baracuda Hoses are compatible with the Hayward Water-bug or have any experience using generic or off brand hoses with Hayward cleaners ?
