    Plug in pool light

    How does everybody feel about a corded pool light for an above ground pool? I bought one that fits on the return port and have it plugged in to a gfi receptical, but don't really like the idea of anything electrical going into the water. This is the one I bought LED Multi-Color Pool return light

    New build, slimy walls

    I ended up ordering the Taylor K2006. Seems like it has everything I need. I have a 2hp two speed pump. When I start the SLAM, will it speed up the process if I run the pump on high? Also, is liquid cya ok?

    New build, slimy walls

    Well this forum had been very helpful to me the past couple of weeks. I'm a weekend warrior installing a15x26 above ground pool. This whole project has been an issue for the past 5 weeks. I had problems every step of the way. I've gutted my house and rebuilt everything from the inside out and...

    SWG Flow sensor location?

    I'm installing a saltron reliant SWG, does it matter if the flow sensor is installed before or after the salt cell?

    First pool fill help with saltwater system

    I'm in the process of filing my new pool now and trying to figure out the process with the chemicals. So what I gather is to balance out the levels of everything first, them test salt content and add appropriate amount of salt. Then I can turn on SWG. I know I need salt in the water before...

    How far away from ago can I put filter?

    My pool is 15x26. My run will be the same as yours. Where do I need valves and unions? At the skimmer and return port?

    How far away from ago can I put filter?

    I wanted to hard pipe filter and pump about 25 ft from the pool to the side of my house, but the owners manual says to install it 2 to 5 ft from pool. It's waterway outdoor pro cartridge filter with 2 speed 2 HP motor. Why wouldn't I be able to install further? What kind of filter would I need...

    SWG TIMER?

    I'm installing a saltron reliant. Do I need to hook this to the pump timer? It came prewired with a 115v plug. If so, should I run an regular outlet from my timer and plug it in? My pump is going to be a separate twist lock outlet.

    Installing skimmer and return help

    My above ground pool has foam on the walls. Should I just leave it where the skimmer and return go or trim it so the liner is directly against the wall where they go? My return seems to have a rubber gasket that goes on the liner, a paper that goes between the liner and the wall and another...

    Clay soil

    I didn't pay him yet so he's not getting paid until this is resolved. The 2b stone is still there, mixed in with the mushy clay. It's a mess. I plan on a perimeter drain once the pool is in. The pool has aluminum walls and approved to be buried up to 2ft. I think I'm going to have him dig out...

    Clay soil

    I have a contractor prepping the ground for a 15x26 above ground pool that's going to be about 2ft below grade. It was all clay when he started to dig down. He wanted to put down regular 2b stone on top of the clay. I stopped him from doing that because I thought it would just make a mess. He...
