I'm finishing up with my pool installation and my electrician is hounding me about finding out about the bonding requirements. Basically, he told me to go back to the retailer / manufacturer (Royal Swimming Pools / Citadel), but the retailer is telling me that my electrician should know. So...

So, I have a CircuPool SmartFlo VSP (1.5hp), and I'm fairly new to understanding how it works (and pumps in general). I have a wide mouth Hayward skimmer and it seems like even though the water is just under halfway up on the skimmer, there are one or two speeds on the preset pump schedule that...

This is a very elementary question, but I'm just hoping someone can point me in the right direction. This is my first time plumbing an above ground pool, and I have the following equipment: CircuPool SmartFlo® Variable Speed Pool Pump - 1.5 THP CircuPool® CJ-2750 Cartridge Filter CircuPool...

Hey all! Quick back-story: I started a major backyard renovation at the beginning of the year and along with the excavation, I decided to take on the huge task of assembling a 12'x24'x52" AGP myself. Wow. What a journey it's been. Without going into ALL the details, because of the economy /...

I'm apologizing ahead of time, because I don't post enough to know the correct etiquette for posting new threads :-) I'm just excited because after years of planning & talking, we're finally moving forward with a landscaping/excavating project that will include an above ground pool! However...

Alright, so we just moved into this house last year, and we're at a point where we want to put in an AGP. However, as much as we love our backyard, there are slopes and dips, and we're looking for suggestions. I've attached some pictures taken from our back deck, which is about 6' off the...

Please....help..... We had a great season with our AGP (15' x 4') and now it's time to drain it. It seems the only problem I've had is that our sand filter would lose it's prime constantly and I was never sure why. Well I started draining it the other day (running a 100ft backwash hose out to a...

Here's a 'softball' of a question: Is there something I need to do in order to 'prime' my sand filter pump every time I start it up? The reason I ask is because it seems to take a significant amount of time to start suctioning/cycling the water through each time I power it up. Most of the time...

So, this should be a simple fix, but even though I'm only a 3rd season pool owner, I still feel like an idiot posting this. (FYI - this is the 1st of two idiotic threads I'm starting tonight.). I did google the issue and I can't find a solution. Simply put: I can't get my Intex pool skimmer...

I have a 15'x48" Intex pool with a 56671eg Sand Filter (2650gph). At the beginning of the season I used the method discussed in other threads that told me how to use an overlapping liner inside of the original intex liner in order to avoid buying a brand new intex liner. Now, I have a leak --...

I've been lurking around this forum for QUITE some time, and I'm loving it! Here's where I'm at..... I'm a new pool owner (only 2nd season of owning). And I have an Intex metal frame 15x48 round pool (5000 - 5300 gallons). I've had numerous troubles with patching holes last year, so I'm...
