Thank you everyone that replied, I just hooked everything up and filling up the pool, will run the heater for a few hours and see what happens, if it trigger low flow, and what the outlet temp is. A lot of trial and error I guess. Super appreciative of all the info provided.

So I got an HP50CL heat pump and I’m trying to figure out the flow rate that it best operates, I’m relatively new to this stuff, but assume if the flow is too fast it will not heat up as fast. Manual says flow rate should be what is on nameplate, name plate says it’s 19.8GPM, seems kinda low ...

Thanks for your honest feedback. Gas seems like the better option, just the cost to setup is what is holding me back. Used Gas Heater: $1500 Running gas line:$800 Total cost $2300 ( more expensive to operate, gas prices) Used heat pump: $1000 Running electrical: $300 ( I can do it my self and...

Hello, considering getting a pool heater, and debating between HP or Gas. For the members here who are close to my location ( Toronto) what are you using ? And from an operating cost, which would be cheaper ??? Thanks

Edit: The pump size is 1000 GPH and 800 GPH.

Hello, I upgraded AGP pool to 12’x22’ and it came with a solar mat. This mat was suppose to be hooked up to the pump, however the location is not optimal. So I have the solar heater on the other side that is sun facing for most of the day. I wanted to run this on a separate pump, but not sure...

RGB Led lights on Amazon. Can change the color to whatever I want, control brightness and have them on a timer with my step lights. Nice to set the mood for those late nights we hanging out in the backyard :)

The foam , is rigid insulation, it comes in pink or Blue( now graphite color) which is what I used. Sold at most big box stores. I went with 1” thick. The plan was to actually raise the legs on wood to match the height of the foam, but I wanted to try it without first and see how it went as I...

Here is the final setup, level is off by about 1/2”, just Need to some landscaping around the pool. River stone on top flower bed, and some lattice to cover the sides of the deck, and the project will be complete. Kids jumped in today and had a blast. Thanks to everyone on this forum, spent...

Guide for Seasonal/Temporary Pools

awesome, also found this right after i posted that is great help . thanks for guidance

Hi guys, i have an intex pool 12 ft round, i am filling it up for the first time, and while i have owned a hot tub in the past, i am unsure on the chemicals and levels i need for a pool. I know there are some links, but they seem to be all for in ground pools. also need to kinda figure out how...

So my pad and deck is complete, but am wondering, when do folks in southern Ontario ( Toronto ) put up their inter pools and fill them ? I know it’s really weather depending, but since it will be my first time, I want to make sure I set it up early and that all is good from a level perspective...

Thanks everyone for their tips, this forum has been great help with my project. here is a pic of the project, I built a deck around the pad as well for easier access into the pool and an area to sun bathe. Hoping the pad is leveled as I spend quite some time levelling as it is the most...

Yeah that is what I was thinking. I have been reading that I run the risk of the 1.5” pavers cracking with the weight of the pool, what are your thoughts of setting the pavers levelled with the dirt. Then adding 5/4 board on top of the pavers under legs, this would bring it within 1/4 level off...

Thank you for the response, interesting, i didnt think the the foam would compress being it is rigid XPS. and it is only an 12' x 40" round pool. Is there any concerns with the pool legs sitting 1" lower then the actual pool bottom?

Hello, I just finished digging out the Sod and creating a nice levelled dirt area where my AGP from Bestway will sit. I have 12"x12"x 1.5" thick paver stones for all the legs, but now am confused as to how deep they should be placed. I am planning on installing a 1" Extruded Styrofoam base on...
