    Closing AGP for first time in South Dakota: leave water level or lower below return per TFP Closing Instructions?

    I put on the cover last night and with the current water level there is just enough of the cover hanging over the outside to be able to use clips. Just ordered the clips today, but should have ordered them with the other winter supplies; there is a wind advisory today and the cover is still...

    Closing AGP for first time in South Dakota: leave water level or lower below return per TFP Closing Instructions?

    Bonding Contempra Above Ground Pool

    Yeah, I did find on Google, there are aluminum above ground pools made in sections. Hopefully that's what he was referring to. I did ask for clarification on sectioned pools and the inspector replied with "I told the electrician what to do, thank you". The permit is thru the electricians...

    Bonding Contempra Above Ground Pool

    Does anyone have a Contempra above ground pool and had an electrical inspection? I recently had an electrician install an outlet for the filter pump and hardwire the heater. The electrician hadn't worked with the South Dakota state inspector in our area, so he contacted the inspector to...
