We have a pool rover Jr. looking for something more modern and easy to empty and clean. What do you use?

We have had our AGP since 2008. I have a concern that has been weighing on my mind since I know it has been there for a few years now. The metal support ring (wall channel I think it is called) that the actual wall of the pool sits on, the bottom. I know is severely rusted from years of...

Does anyone have pool steps that they absolutely love? The stairs we currently have suck! They literally come apart and pieces start floating. I wish I had my original that came with our 27x52, but sadly I gave it away a long time ago.

How do you cover your AGP? I typically have used a tarp like pool cover made especially for AGP. But every year, I have to pump off the cover, and remove the debris that has accumulated over the winter. This year was a disaster! Cover ripped as we were trying to pull it over the side and ALL the...

Hello all! I am looking for replacement parts for my Aquasphere Conquest ABP... From what I am finding Aquasphere is no longer around? We had it installed in 2008 and the local dealership we purchased from is no longer in business, although they have another location in Columbia, SC. BUT they...

Hi all, We have an 18x36 IG nd over the years we have replaced the light many times only for it to keep blowing out. I think water is getting in somehow. Anyway, we want to remove the light and seal the hole. What is the best and most economical way to do this?

Hi all! Looking for recommendations...I am needing to replace our pump/motor. I currently have a Hayward Powerflo Matrix, which is only a few years old. My pool is a 27x52 round.

I'm fighting the pea soup battle and it's come a long way since yesterday, I literally vaccumed my butt off till exhaustion. I added 4 lbs of the powder shock and this morning had about .5 left of FC. I have the filter going 24/7. Now I know I need to add more CL to keep it in shock level which...

I've spent the last 4 days putting in chems and filtering the pool (I've been using Baking Soda, Bleach and Aqua Chem Shock Xtra Blue) Last night I added more BS to get the pH to 7.5 (it's been hovering around 7.2) And I added 1 bag of shock and 2 182oz bottles of bleach. Ran the filter all...

Hi all! Well, I made the mistake of not covering the pool for the first time ever- what a mistake- and now of course I have a BIG clean up job ahead of me. The top railings around the pool are covered in black smut/mildew/ pine-tree sap. What is the best way to remove this without damaging the...

Hi all! Been a little while since I have been in here. I noticed something just a bit ago when we were checking out the pool and need to know how this can be fixed ASAP. Where the pool wall is joined together and is held together by screws there is a metal strip that the screws go through. From...

Our pump pot busted on the filter and of course made the water level drop to below the skimmer. The pool cover has about 3-4 in of frozen ice on it. I have 2 4x8 air pillows in there and can tell they are squished down a little and I can also tell that it is putting some strain on the cover...

Well, the cold did it. :hammer: It broke the lip where the clear lid screws onto the housing of the pump. I am not sure what its called, The pot, I am assuming? How can I just replace that part? Looks like I might have to buy a new pump all together :(

Hi all! I hope some one can help me!! I just got a pool rover jr, which I bought of ebay, used of course- Probably against my better judgment. I just put it in the pool and it just sits there! I set the timer thing to 30 seconds and push the red button. It starts to go and I mean for like 2-3...

Hey gang!! :wave: Been a while since I poked my head in here. It's been a to short, but crazy summer. I am missing summer already!!! Hope everyone is safe and doing well. I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving and Christmas! Hopefully I can check in more often. Right now though, I got to go...

I am thinking about adding some mule team borax to the pool. How do I test this? with strips I am assuming? I am also assuming my level is 0, since that isn't something that I add, but better check before I add anything. Just want to see if it will help to control the pH from drifting up and...

Ok, what are you all doing to keep the pool clear in all this rain? ( Those who are getting beat to death with this tropical depression) FL,GA,SC, My pool was sparkling, but all this rain, made it get Crud on the bottom, so I got in that freezing water and vacuumed the heck out of it. Been...

Hey guys! Ok, pool is all vaccumed out, filter's been running 24/7 for almost a week now and water is still on the slightly cloudy side. CYA is at 40ish (prefer 50) ph 7.5 TA 110 CL- not sure, it was dark yellow,(just did the quickie test and not the full out one) and I added 172 oz bleach...

Hi everyone!! Can you believe that it's almost summer again? Almost got the pool ready to go. Fixing to go out here in a bit and vacuum what little bit of pinestraw/leaves are at the bottom and add some bleach to it tonight. Looking good!! How is everyone? Good I hope!! Ciao!

HI! Today was absolutely gorgeous outside! It's still 74 at 6pm. I worked a lot on the pool the past few days. Pretty much got the leaf rake and raked out all the oak leaves from the neighbors tree that made it into the pool, as well as pinestraw. Put in 288 oz of bleach just a bit ago and...

Hey all! I am considering purchasing this here shortly for our pool as I refuse to have to babysit the polaris this year. Anyone have either of these? is it worth it? pros/cons? Which should I get the pool rover or the jr? TYIA :)

I SURE AM!!! I have already started to clean the pool. Albeit it did turn green with this freaky GA weather (which of course is nothing new) I put in 4 bottles of bleach the other day and the pool is clear, but still got some green slime on the bottom and of course leaves. If the temps get even...

How is everyone? been a while since I poked my head in. Still haven't properly winterized the pool. Kinda just stopped putting chems in it and run the pump when the temps get down to 35 or below, which has been a few times already. Georgia has some wacky weather!. Right now I am watching as the...

The shrimp festival starts today!!! We'll be leave eaarrllllyyyyyy tomorrow morning- like 5 am- ish to get there around 7ish. I can already smell the shrimp and all that ice cold beer. Yuuuummmmmm.

:mrgreen: We threw in the towel about a month ago :( Now I got to figure out what to do with the pool. Cover it up or leave it open so I can look at the pretty clear water all winter :)

Hi all! Hard to believe this summer has once again whizzed on by! I have a quick question about my CYA levels. Since I plan on closing the pool for the winter around the end of this month. I normally keep my level at 50ppm. I tested it today and it was reading about 35-30ish. So Should I add...

Interesting story, not sure if I would do that route. http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/ ... 0&src=news

say what! :shock: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121737309621094969.html

I have estimated that I lose approx. 5ppm of CL a day with the weather has hot and muggy as it is. My question is, I just tested my CL/FC it's approx 7.50ppm and CC was .5. If I don't add bleach in tonite, I am sure by tomorrow evening when I test my CL level will be below the min. 4-6 ppm range...

So, it's Saturday night. What's for dinner? I threw together a quick recipe that I googled. Since I had a Pork loin roast that has been staring me down in the freezer each time I open it. Figured tonite is a good time to chow on it. I threw in some minced garlic, whole cranberry sauce, brown...
