    Cracked cartridge filter

    Thanks for the response. I mentioned that it was plumbed correctly because when I did my research before posting, the number one cause of cracks was reversed plumbing. The very first thing I did was check to make sure it was plumbed correctly. More background: My pool installer erected the...

    Cracked cartridge filter

    100% positive this was plumbed correctly. I installed myself and confirmed. In addition, the outside of the filter would not have all of the pine droppings on it if it were backwards. Not at home and don't have photos of it at the moment. Filter is CircuPool CJ-2750 Cartridge Filter. Pump...

    Cracked cartridge filter

    Hi All- See photos. I installed an AGP about 4 weeks ago. I closed the pool this weekend, and when I opened up the filter and started cleaning I noticed a large crack at the bottom of the cartridge. See attached photos. This was plumbed in the correct direction. What could have caused...

    Plumbing a new AGP in Sch 40 PVC. Need advice on fittings

    Well, we got 7.5" of rain dumped on us yesterday. It washed away a lot of my backfill material. I've got my work cut out for me. I get that the reducing coupler works. I was wondering if there was anything the would go direct from the threaded skimmer connection to a 2" pipe. One would...

    Plumbing a new AGP in Sch 40 PVC. Need advice on fittings

    Hi all- I'm in the process of piping my new AGP! I'm running my supply and return lines from the filter and pumps underground. My pump, filter and SWG are by the house. I screwed up and told the installer to put the skimmer on the far side of the pool. We just assumed I was going to put my...

    Installation of Saltwater 8000 - should I cancel?

    Hi all- I just pulled the trigger on a new AGP from the pool factory. I'm afraid maybe I should cancel the order. I can't find anyone who will install for me and I don't feel like I can handle doing the install myself. As 1 person there's no way I can do it. Anyone talk me off the ledge...

    New AGP - looking for recommendations on equipment

    Looks like I'm wrong about the max flow rate. I went by a chart I found online vs the manufactuer's spec. In any case, I assume you save cost running the pump at a lower speed, but there should be a balance between HP and amount of time you run the pump that is most cost effective. How many...

    New AGP - looking for recommendations on equipment

    I was looking at performance curves on the pumps and the flow rates on high are too high for the filter to handle even with a 2.0 HP. I'm thinking I can go with a 1.5H and save $400.

    Is a 3 HP pump really necessary for a 27' AGP? +/- 19,000 gallons

    New AGP - looking for recommendations on equipment

    Is an inline annode something I should consider? Will it actually help the life of anything, considering I am buying a 100% resin pool?

    There's a deal going on discountsaltpool.com for a RJ-45 PLUS Salt System, SmartFlo® 3.0 VS Pump, CJ2750 Filter, and TJ-16 Pre-Filter. Looks like a pretty good deal?

    New AGP - looking for recommendations on equipment

    Looking at a 27' salt water pool. Yard is mostly open, however we live "in the woods" and there are some very tall pine trees (+40' tall) roughly 50' behind the proposed pool area. Budget-wise, I was hoping to be under $10,000. I may install everything myself, unless I can get the entire...

    New AGP - looking for recommendations on equipment

    Hi all, I was directed here by the r/pools subreddit. I'm currently in the planning stages of installing a new salt water AGP, and I was looking for some recommendations on the pool equipment. Currently I have a quote from a pool discounter who includes Bluetorrent sand filter, pump and salt...
