    Help with solar for ABG

    Thanks, Maddie. I've done a ton of exploring on the 1/2" black irrigation hose concept, would prefer the mats at this point. But either way, I'm still kinda stuck with the same question of what kind of pump to get to move the water out of the pool, up on the roof and into the system, whether it...

    Help with solar for ABG

    Thanks, Brett. I was actually looking at a pair of the 2' x 20' by Smartpool/Sunheater - they seem to get decent reviews. So, that would give me 80 sq ft.

    Algae? Pollen? Or am I taking crazy pills?

    Thanks, this is very helpful - I've been trying to plan upcoming treatment around anticipated pool use, sounds like that's not really necessary.

    Newbie here, first post. I've been enjoying my new 22x52 Intex ultraframe and have had nothing but sparkling clear water for the first 2 months. About a week ago the water started to get cloudy, then I noticed a light green film on the bottom and lower sides. Followed the TFP SLAM instructions...
