I am getting ready to replace my filter sand and laterals. Would it be OK to use the old sand as the base sand for a brick patio? I am an aggressive recycler! :lol: Anyone foresee any problems with this? Also, how do I figure out how much sand I need?

Greetings, With a tropical storm on the way here, and two more following right behind, is there any special preparations I need to do to my AGP? Do I need to tie down equipment (filters, etc)? As I am originally from the Midwest and moved to Virginia Beach, VA 2 years ago; I have never been...

I have been considering either getting a LQ or trying a peristaltic pump to automate my chlorine. I think there are a couple of people using a peristaltic pump for acid injection, is anyone using it for chlorine? I have several questions about using a peristaltic pump. 1. Will the "white...

Greetings everyone. I am battling some mustard algae, I believe, and am trying to keep my CL level above 23. Last night I raised it to about 26, this morning at 7:00 it was at 25. When I got home from work at 4:30 it was at 11. Is this a normal drop over the daylight hours? It did rain for...

I know I saw this subject somewhere, but could not find the thread with it. What is the general consensus? Can you use the Liquidator with an AGP or not? I really want to get one but I thought I saw a post that it will not work with AGP's. Also, where do you order it from?

Hello, I have an above ground pool that uses flexible hose (1 1/2-2", I think) to connect the skimmer to the pump and the filter to the return. I believe it is a lot longer than it needs to be. It hangs all the way to the ground and back up to the return on the filter side (about 3 feet), and...

Hello everyone! I'm getting eager for summer and I am extending my deck. Currently, my hot tub is sitting on the existing deck. I want to set the hot tub on the ground and build the new deck around it. Any ideas as to what to set the hot tub on instead of pouring a cement slab? I have heard...

Hello, First off, love the website. I have learned a lot just reading other posts. :-D We just bought a house with a pool this month. I have never owned a pool before and I am having trouble keeping my head above water. I don't think the previous owner took care of the pool during the...
