so true!!

Yes, algae.

Makes sense! Thank you! I truly appreciate the explanation and quick response!

Thank you! this makes more sense! I wasn't going to add the CYA and I am not sure why I did. Lesson learned! This is my first year opening a pool. I really appreciate your quick response!

I'm confused as to what are the next steps. I will test shortly. Do I enter the numbers in to the pool calculator and add the suggested amounts again? What are my target numbers? TIA

Hi, I started the SLAM process on 6/1. At that time the pool was green and mostly free of large debris. 6/1 CYA = 20 FC = 0 I added 46 oz. of 10% bleach as per the pool math calculator. 6/2 CYA = 20 FC = 5 I added 56 oz. of 10% bleach and 43oz. dry stabilizer. 6/3 CYA = 55 FC = 12 what are...

Glad it worked well for you! And, thank you for the help.

Thanks! I used a small rectangular peel away patch that came with the pool liner. There is a tiny dripping leak on the outside. Do you think it would be ok to put the larger round patch over the existing one instead of taking it off? Thanks!

Hi. I am about to patch the liner with Boxer 100 vinyl pool patches. Which side of the vinyl patch does the adhesive go on? One side is slightly smoother then the other. Thanks!

Ok, thanks. This is what I thought and wanted a confirmation on the purchase of the salt water test. Also, I’m confused as to when to run the pump and filter. Do I always run them simultaneously? I need an example of a daily routine. For example. 9 am turn on pump and filter, 30 minutes...

Hi! So, my pool water is finally clear as of Sunday morning. I have been adding 5 ppm every day since Friday and added only 120 lbs. of salt (210 lbs. recommended, however, the display panel does not read low salt so I haven’t added more yet). Since adding the salt I’ve been running the SFP and...

Hi again! So, the part came in and everything is hooked up and ready to go. Do I need to backwash before I start it up even though the pool is green and high in iron? I did my research and am going to pick up the materials needed to filter out the Iron via bucket an Polyfill but before I do...

OK, adding chlorine and holding off on the salt. Thanks again! Very helpful.

Makes sense!! I definitely want a happy swg so, I will wait to add anymore salt. In the meantime, I will check out the iron articles you've shared! I really appreciate your help and quick and comprehensive responses!

Hi again! And, thank you, again for such awesome and step by step processes! you have given me hope that this newbie will pull through and be able to have this pool up and running before Fall, LOL. I ordered the TF-100 as recommended here. Unfortunately, I am still waiting for the dual valve...

Wow, once again, incredibly helpful, thank you!!! I can finally envision us swimming and enjoying the pool before Fall 😂. Since the pool is only 1/3 full I began filling it again today until it almost reached the bottom of the lower port holes. I slowly added and did my best to evenly...

Hi! Thanks so much for replying with these great recs! I'm such a newbie that I am not even sure why those jets are an upgrade 🤦‍♀️😂 but I will take your word for it as it sounds like you've done this for much longer than I have. That said, I will look into these for next year as I learn more...

Ain't that the truth! I was lucky enough to find the parts. Hopefully the correct parts arrive and in pristine condition, especially since I paid an absurd markup for a piece that cost $9 retail. I received and installed the strainer/nozzle set. Just waiting on the dual plunger valve to...

Yes, I upgraded to the 16” tank with 2150 GPH pump (26679EG, ECO20110-2), which I purchased separately. The pool I purchased came with a sand filter pump and pool and was shipped in 3 different boxes. Box 1 got lost in shipping and was never found. Since I upgraded the pump, I assumed all I...

Hi! Newbie here from MA. Thanks to all your help and knowledge my first go at putting up an Intex 24x12x52 AGP is almost a success. It’s leveled and looks great but, I am missing parts to connect the pool with the salt water pump and sand filter. I am having trouble finding the following parts...

Hi, Newbie here! Thanks to this wonderful forum and advice from AGP experts here, my 24x12x52 Intex pool is leveled and almost ready to go. Problem is, I am missing some parts to connect the SWS to the pool. I need help locating these parts or if someone can recommend compatible parts...

Hi! Newbie here planning to follow your steps as you minus the concrete pavers under the wood. Our pool is the 24’x12’ and I was hoping you could clarify a few things for me, please and thank you! 1) How big of an area did you have leveled? 2) Did you put the tarp over the foam, pavers, and...
