I am getting my AGP liner replaced this week. I live in New Jersey. The pool is 18 foot round. I was thinking about putting some kind of pesticide treatment down before installing the new liner. Does anybody have any recommendations on what to buy? Thanks in advance

Your probably right. Thanks for all the replies.

I use a square foam item I bought at pool store for skimmer. I also have a plug got at pool store for return but I also drop pool level right below skimmer.

Thank you for the reply. I live in New Jersey. I do use a solid cover. I disconnect everything and plug return and intake as well as skimmer opening. I am diligent on pumping water off cover. I was even out in middle of winter clearing off snow and ice right after big blizzard we had in January...

I replaced my liner on my above ground pool at the beginning of last summer. We have had the pool for 8 summers and I was tired of refilling the pool from water draining out over the winter. This May I opened up pool and water was again down to a 1/3 of the pool and spent a day refilling with a...

Just as a follow up to this from last summer. I hooked everything back up just as I did last year when opening the pool for the summer this year. The good news is PSI back at 10 and outflow pressure came back up to what I had before. I think I just did not have the filter sealed properly after...

Again sorry for the confusion. The pump has one speed. The psi is at zero now. The PSi was at four on this new unit the first night. The reading now is 0. It seems to be working 0k. The skimmer is working so as you stated earlier if that's working it should be okay. You can consider this thread...

Yes it was now at zero it is one speed low.

I had my neighbor look at it. He use to work with pools for a living agrees thinks it is performing as it should. He does agree though pressure is low. I don't know what to do though. I will see how pool cleans pool in the next few days. I hate to break it down and haul it back to store. Then...

I Just plugged it in to the outlet by the pool. I diid not wire anything. The same outlet old unit was on. This is a 1 hp motor. I can't tell what old one is wore off on label.

Okay thanks for the help. I will think about it. I am going to try to get a hold of my neighbor. He has lot of knowledge on pools. I will check back in if I can get a hold of him.

Ok got it. Thanks Do you think I should return the unit then?

I am sorry to be so dense but not sure what you mean. I took the exact same inbound connection and attached it to new strainer basket. I took it off old strainer basket. The connection that goes to the filter is the same exact size and type as the old pump/motor had. I agree with you something...

I sent a link above there is a motor attached sorry for the confusion. I called back over to pool store I got another guy he said try clearing cartridge. I know it's not that but tried it anyway. No change. It looks like water is not being sucked into the strainer basket fast enough.

This is a new pump with same plumbing. I don't think it is gauge. Pool is not cleaning right.

Yes, gauge goes to zero when off. I have not tried new gauge.

Yes I tried that does not move.

No changes in valve settings, yes pump is wired properly. Thank you

I checked the impeller. There is no impeller ring. I don't think it has a diffuser.

My motor died the other night. I went and got a replacement motor. I purchase it last night and installed it. By the time I got done it was dark. This afternoon I got home pump was running I have it on a timer. I checked psi was four. I usally run at nine or ten. I am not sure if gauge is...

I have had this happen the last two startups. this morning I had drip and made it worse by tightening it should have left it alone. So finally got it to stay on but still dripping. Someone mentioned radiator clamps. I went to pep boys they just had regular hose clamps. I did not go to the parts...

I just want to say I live in New Jersey and this is the coolest spring I can remember. The temp here was 45 degrees this morning. The pool I opened last weekend. I hope it warms up soon. Is anyone else as frustrated as I am with the weather here in the northeast.

I opened my pool over the weekend. The water level had dropped about 3/4 over the winter the remaining water was nice and clear. I filled it back up Friday night and I did see any apparent leaks. The grass around the pool always seems dry I did not notice any drop in water level Sunday. Today...

About a month or so after i covered my pool this past fall I noticed the water level dropped. I was like oh well deal with the leak come spring. I live in New Jersey and after last weeks 2 plus feet snowfall the cover is ripping apart all over and starting to cave in. I can't reallly do anything...

I just wanted to post a big Thank you to all you TFP people. I had a dark green swamp last Saturday when I opened my AGP. I followed the Turning Your Green Swamp Back into a Sparking Oasis sticky and now have a clear blue pool after six days. I also wanted to post to encourage folks not to get...

I opened my pool recently and purchased some new shock at Home Depot the main ingredient is Trichloro-s-triazinetrione a powder. I had some shock left over from last year which main ingredient is sodium hypochorlite a liquid shock. The Trichloro on the top said do not mix with calcium...

Since I last posted on this subject things have been fine. I have been adding Borax a few cups each week to maintain the PH level. PH was always at 7.2 or 7.4 We have had very hot weather and using the pool alot lately, PH was back down at 6.8. Well I dumped a whole 4lb box of Borax in tonight...

Well Thanks all. Nicole you were right on the money. It was pretty dirty from all the pollen hosed it off for a good 15 minutes. PSI pressure did not change though.

Thanks Will give it a shot sounds you have the same one they way you describe it. I tried to post some pics but you the image size was too large. Thank you very much!

Will do I did not get any documentation with the filter, Thats why I ask. I tried google could not find much, Thks again
