    Cracked PVC from ground freeze

    So, as it was around 60ish yesterday, I went around to check the plumbing and put the unions back together and started filling the pool a bit. Not long into this, I noticed standing water and cracked pvc. Now, I am in northwest PA where our ground freeze line is 4ft. I cannot bury pvc that low...

    Cracked Pentair diverter valve

    So over the weekend we decided to fill the pool again so we could start moving the water around, get the chemicals in, and get our robot started. We've had a couple days in the 60's with sun, and now it's back down in the low 40's. I did not close the valves at all over winter, kept them open...

    Extra 21' x 52" J-hook liner

    I have an extra 21' x 52" j-hook liner, brand new in box, never opened, if anyone is looking for one. We originally had this because we thought we would be getting a 21' pool but we ended up getting a 24' pool. Anyone interested please get a hold of me.

    Another AGP build thread - a resume from a disatrous pandemic summer

    So my threads last year were so much of a letdown, but it ended on a good note. From months of orders/manufacturers not being provided and cancelled, I finally ended up with a 24' x 52" above ground pool end of August/beginning of September. It sat in my garage on a pallet wrapped in tarps all...

    Plumbing design

    The snow is still coming down here, but I'm organizing everything I need for an early spring install. The wife and kids are really anxious about getting the pool put up and together, since we got our pool delivered late August (when we ordered in mid-April) in 2020. As 2020 was shot, so going...

    Plumbing - Flexible vs Hard piping

    I currently have all the pieces to hard plumb our pool with 1 1/2" pvc piping, complete with unions and jandy valves. However, I'm concerned at how to winterize when using hard pvc pipes that will be buried. I am planning on using a cartridge filter, which I read doesn't support back washing...

    Initial stages of planning, to see if a pool is the right way to go

    So, the wife mentioned she wanted to get a pool for this summer, and gave the go ahead on purchasing. I have done weeks of research on above ground pools (not getting an in-ground) and spent lots of time in the yard to determine locations. However, I do my full diligence before getting into a...
