    Practical # of swimmers?

    Just thinking ahead to this year's swim season since our deck is almost finished! :party: We want to have a pool party for our daughter's softball team & are wondering what's the "practical" number of swimmers our 24' AGP can accommodate, if there is such a number. My thoughts so far are that...

    Nutgrass growing through liner again

    I'm seeking the forum's advice on my supervisor's behalf ... Her 24x52 AGP was installed in May 2009. They live in a new subdivision ... less than 5 years ago it was a tillable crop field. Within a month after the pool was up & running, lots of sprigs of nutgrass started growing through the...

    First swim of 2010!

    Too chilly for me, but not for my 9-year-old daughter! http://www.flickr.com/photos/49876786@N08/4568943473/ Next project: build the deck! (I couldn't figure out how to incorporate this flickr image in the post ... sorry!)

    Skimmer socks rule!

    My pool is full of beautiful, sparkly (alhtough still a bit chilly) water. I've been waging a battle with the tags from both an oak tree and pine tree that aren't directly beside the pool, but close enough to be a nuisance. I finally put an old knee-high in my skimmer Sunday evening to try to...

    Wind destroyed pool cover - buy another now or not?

    The winds finally destroyed our (cheapo) pool cover a few weeks ago. On the bright side, we can now see how clear how water is! I've scooped out most of the leaves. My husband and I are just wondering if we should spend the money now this close to Spring on a new cover or possibly start up much...

    New AG pool ... I think we've done it!

    After the installation frustrations: installers had the wrong liner at first, had to wait for a new liner to ship, finished filling water 1:00 a.m. Monday morning to only discover 3 pump leaks which were fixed yesterday afternoon ... I think everything is right now! First test yesterday at 3:44...

    Another new AG pool start-up

    I've read (and re-read Pool School & will read many more times) and just used my TF-100 for the first time on my fill water source (county water). The installers are coming tomorrow to finish the setup, so hopefully I'll be able to start filling Sunday after filling with 1 ft of water for 24...

    Site Prep Question

    I was very excited because the installer called last night & said he can come Monday afternoon with the Bobcat to grade & level for our 24' x 52" pool. My first reaction was "Yay" ... but now I'm worried because we have not killed the existing grass with commercial grade Round-Up in the area as...

    Have we been "pool-stored" - question about ionizer

    Well, after reading this website for the past couple of days I think we've been pool-stored ... We purchased an AG 24' x 52" round to be installed within the next couple of weeks from the large pool store in the "big city" 1.5 hours away. We also bought a power ionizer for an extra $250 but am...
