Ok I will try to explain this as best as I can. So we installed an 18ft steel wall AGP. It came with two pre cut holes in the steel wall, a square one for the skimmer and a round one halfway down the wall for the return fitting. Everything works as intended. Now here's the pickle: I want to add...

So I'm trying to hard plumb the intex Krystal Clear Pump/Filter setup below. I tried using the connectors in the picture but the 1.5 PVC pipe is about a millimeter too big on all sides. Are there any other adapters I can use with 1.5 PVC? Thanks.

Hello. What are you guys selecting when the pool is pebbletec or gunite? I only see three options Vinyl, Plaster and Fiberglass. Thank you.

Setting up an above ground pool burried 2 ft. Pool is a 18x52. Is this combo ok? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AAWQRUY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_snybFbRNS2MNY https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083Z8JNX2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_NsybFbA05K99S Thank you.

My sister has an in ground pool and has a SWG. Ever since I went swimming there when she bought the house I've been sold on the salt water system. Forward to now and were adding an above ground pool and burying 2ft. The pool isn't specifically designed to handle salt water, at least it doesn't...

So were getting ready to install our brand new 18x52 steel wall AGP. Were sinking in 2 feet into the ground with a retaining wall around the pool to avoid pressure from soil in case we need to change liner or what not. My question is, what's better for the installation, a leveled sand bottom...

So we have been telling our girls the pool is coming but the seller we ordered our pool from cancelled our order stating they are out of stock and refunded our money. Problem is I have no pool now and I cant find a pool anywhere. Were looking for an above ground, steel wall 18x52 under $1400.00...

We are installing an 18'x52 agp and burying 2 ft underground. We have the option of selecting a unibead or overlap liner. I've been told beaded and unibead liners perform better, are easier to align and last longer. What's the consensus here? Thank you.

So we are installing an 18x52 AGP burried 2 feet in ground. I would like to avoid having the pump at the same height as the plumbing (skimmer etc). I saw this image on pinterest without much info and was hoping someone here could identify this burried container. Thank you.

Ok so with this pool install were toying with the idea of burying it 2' into the ground. The pool being 52", by burying 2 feet will stick out of the ground 28". This means it will be burried almost halfway. Anyone has done this? Pros? Cons? Is it a good idea? Thank you.

So it's that time, were finally upgrading to an 18' round AGP. I want to do things right as this pool will be expected to last several seasons. I'm staring with leveling the ground, then will add a crushed limestone base, gorilla pad and then liner. That being said, since the pool is 18' should...

Hello, saw this picture on pinterest and was curious what the devices I circled in red was for. Thanks in advance.

So we have decided a while back to upgrade our pool to an 18x56 hard sided AGP. I've researched pumps, swg, filters, vacuums, how to do the base, and the deck. The only thing I've beed debating is whether I want to partially bury it, maybe 2-3 feet? I've heard horror stories about doing just...

I'm curious, anyone here uses TFP methadology while they do pool service professionally?

Like the title says, looks like I'm going to have to SLAM for the first time. Last Monday I worked 12 hours and was running late so I didnt get to test/dose with chlorine. I asked my wife to do it but she didnt get to it until 6:45pm. I also noticed FC levels were dropping faster than usual the...

Hello, so I'm currently researching pumps and filters for next seasons build. It's for a 18x56 AGP. I will be using a SWG since I heard so many good things about them. Here are the 2 pumps I kind of found so far: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AAWQRUY/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_EGqCDbPYEGY30 And...

So I stopped using chlorine tabs since I started the TFP methodology, however I did keep a small bucket in case we were out of town or gone for an extended amount of time. I left the bucket outside for a month and moisture got in there. When I was tidying up the pump area I decided to bring them...

Ok so bear in mind I am a newbie. And my pool is only 700 gallons. So since I stopped going to the store to get my water tested and started following the TFP ideology last month my water has never been clearer. I typically test for FC and PH daily, and TA, CH and CYA weekly and things were...

With the old smaller pump I felt I needed to keep the skimmer water level low to provide enough flow to the skimmer. Now with the new pump I'm wondering if the level is too low. Where should the water line be? This is where it is currently. Also the skimmer came with a little flappy door...

Finally got tired of cleaning cartridges and upgraded to a sand filter. I know my pool is tiny so this filter is super overkill but hopefully next season when we upgrade to an 18×56 steel wall pool I ca use this same filter. Also just for fun and to see if I could do it I hard plumbed it...

I think this is the right place to post this, if not could an admin move to the right area please. I've been using Pool Math app religiously and documenting everything. One thing I noticed is I have two reminders. They say vacuuming and brushing are 15 days overdue. However, I have brushed and...

So I bought the Taylor test kit a while back and have been testing my pool water regularly. I had a friend come over and we were discussing testing, he mentioned he had a Taylor test kit as well but his kit didnt have the powder for the FC testing, the R-0870 DPD Testing, it had a liquid...

So I bought the Taylor 2006 instead of the Taylor 2006C which has the 2oz bottles instead of the .75oz bottles that came with my kit. Also being a newbie, I test alot, mostly to get a sense of the changes in my pool chemistry and learn how it changes. I still have lots of pretty much everything...

BACKGROUND: Hello, as I mentioned in previous threads I'm very new to pool chemical and maintenance and I'm really loving these forums. Everyone is so helpful and I'm currently going through the Pool School articles. There is one thing I never see mentioned, those floating chlorine tablets...

BACKGROUND: Hello, first time poster but I've been using these forums for quite a while. Anyways, personally we have owned an inground pool ages ago (our old house) and even then we weren't there long enough to understand what we were doing poolwise. Now at our current t house we have no...
