I usually have the pool company open each year but am doing it myself to save some money. The pool water was a bit green when we took the cover off. After filling and vacuuming, it's so cloudy I can't even see the bottom. When the green settles the water is a tad cloudy. I've never had a bit of...

Our pump motor stopped working today. It was a 1.5 hp EcoKleer, but I don’t feel like it circulated the water well. Recommendations on the best pump brand? We’ll still use our sand filter.

I’m at a loss so reaching out- This is my first year using our AG pool, it was installed by the previous homeowners. I’m religious about keeping my chemicals balanced and cleaning/vacuuming it every other day. Despite all of this, there are brown dirt/sand spots that accumulate on the bottom of...

We just bought a new house with an AG pool. It has a Perma Salt System attached. We didn’t have this in our previous pool, so I’m wondering if it’s worth using? If so, any pro tips? The pool wasn’t taken care of for quite awhile but I’ve managed to turn the water from green to crystal clear and...

We had our above-ground pool installed at the end of July and I'm SO glad to have stumbled across this page. A little back story- we were given the pool/pump/sand filter from friends. Despite being 'free' it's been the most expensive headache we've ever had! (Our kiddos owe us big time!) This...

After losing 5-8" of water weekly since installation at the end of July, I've came to the conclusion that there's a leak at our main drain (with no help from the installation company who won't return my calls, grr). I've tightened the bolts on the drain plate. Is there anything else that can be...

I'm sending out an SOS- I made a very dumb and now costly mistake of forgetting to unplug the pump when turning it to backwash. A catastrophe occurred including blowing of bolts and cracking of plastic of the pump. I managed to stop the eruption of Hoover Dam that subsequently occurred, but am...

We have an 18 ft above ground pool with a center drain that was installed at the end of July. We're located in Indiana and have had a dry spell with temperatures in the 90's over the past few weeks. I'm having to add water to the pool at least once a week because the water level keeps dropping...

We had an above ground pool installed yesterday. (No signature with info for me yet- I'm on a mobile device and it won't let me add!). It's an aluminum frame 18'x48' round, appx. 7,000 gal, with a sand pump. After reading forums on here I've purchased the K-2006 test kit, however it won't arrive...
