    Experience with Blue White Flexflo pump?

    http://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm?fa=Main.Item&itemid=75&acctid=1993 I found these, just wondering if anyone has experience with them? Not sure if I'll bid on them as at least one needs work. Neither is a complete setup so would need accessories.

    Weir level in skimmer ?

    Finally got the pool up and filled in time for Labor Day weekend. Started filling almost a year to the day after we dissasembled from it's old home. This is my first pool with a skimmer and the water flow through it doesn't seem very strong. I have strong flow out of the return, ripples 1/3 of...

    Pump & impeller size question. SOLVED!

    This question is just for my general knowledge and not related to a problem. I've read here a lot about pumps and matching impellers to motors. A good match is most efficient, an under-sized impeller is okay but not ideal, an over-sized impeller is bad for the motor. So on a two speed pump why...

I was telling them about the chemicals that had come with the pool I acquired and they said that Cal-Hypo was bad for vinyl liners. They said they wouldn't warranty a liner that had Cal-Hypo used in it. I'm new to this...

    Filter sand color??

    I just acquired a used pool for disassembling and removing it. The pool had been winterized since last fall, with the filter and pump drained. It has a Hayward SwimPro 250# sandfilter, I shop vac'd about 3/4 of the sand out and brought with me. However I'm not sure it's sand, it's light grey in...

    Pool removal

    Picking up a "free" 27' round pool this weekend. We have to disassemble with help from the owner. Looking for advice to make it easier or more successful. I've done some reading here and elsewhere so have some ideas but am open to suggestions. I haven't been to see the pool yet but from pictures...

    Can you go shallower with an AGP?

    I have two little girls, 3 & 5, who love the pool we have. It's a ring pool that we've not filled full so that it comes just to the shoulders of the 3 year old. I'm looking at getting a used metal sided pool at the end of this season and setting it up next year. I've done some research and know...
