Having issues opening our pool. End of season last year we bought a DE filter. Had it running at the end of season. Currently In the process of SLAMing the pool. My pump starts up great, then loses suction. Water flow seems minimal. I shut it off, and then turn it back on...water flow is great...

Could use some advice on what we should do with our AG pool when closing it. We had so many issues over the summer with the pool and turns out we need to replace the liner. We closed the pool thinking the issue with the liner was somewhere around the return or the skimmer since we new earlier in...

Long story short....We replaced our existing 24' round AG Pool this season. We put it together ourselves, including the liner. We ended up with an issue mid-season with the liner pulling away from the skimmer...big leak issue. Resolved the leak issue and had more pool water delivered. Sand...

I just replaced our sand filter with an AC DE-95 Filter. First time I set it up and got things running I added the DE powder as instructed thru the skimmer. It immediately blew out into the pool from the return. I called the pool store and they suggested that it could just be the force of the...

Need help installing our pool ladder that attaches to the deck. We tore down our existing pool and put a new one and built a deck all around the pool. Now we are re-installing the pool ladder and cannot remember how it was previously installed. Does anyone have experience on installing this type...

So I was stupid when installing the skimmer on our new pool. I just noticed that the liner pulled away from the skimmer gasket and is leaking water. Any suggestions on fixing this other than starting over with a new liner. I waited to install the skimmer until the pool was pretty mush almost...

Need some help trying to figure out issue with pump. It was working great and had no issue priming with a really strong return. Now the pump won't prime, but the return is still really strong with a lot of air bubbles coming out of the return with the strong current. The water level doesn't seem...

I'm in the process of SLAMMING my Pool and my CYA is very low, 25 range. I've been using 12.5% Bleach to shock the pool and maintain it at an FC of 10. I already added liquid stabilizer to up the CYA, but would need more to get it in the 30-40 range. Anyone add their thoughts on using trichlor...

I tried looking up a previous post on how to prime a pump and get the air out of filter and pump. I keep finding posts regarding the issue, but no answers to my issue. I see that some people are able to release air from the filter with an air valve....how would I do this? I don't know where the...

We are in the process of building a deck around our above ground pool when we noticed the concrete blocks that the pool is sitting on are wet on he back side of the pool. We just recently built the pool and I just started running the filter yesterday. Late yesterday my husband noticed that one...

So we just replaced our 24' round AG Pool and I'm about to connect the filter and pump. Last year with the pre-existing AG Pool we had, we connected it with flexible hosing and always had an issue with minor leaks. My husband and father are both convinced that if we use PVC piping the heavy flow...

We acquired an above ground with the purchase of our home last year. The pool is not in great shape at all and we would like to build a deck around it so we can get better use out of the pool. We decided it's probably best to tear down the exiting pool and level the ground since the pool is...

I'm in the process of slamming my pool and having trouble with the correct bleach to use. Purchased Great Value brand at Walmart and other than scented/ concentrated they had what is labeled at Cleaning Bleach. I used the amount suggested by pool math and doubled the FC that it should have...

So glad I found this forum. Never worked a pool before, nor has my husband. Purchased a house in April that came with an above ground pool. When looking at the house we both decided we were going to get rid of it. My husband asked if he could have a go at it with the chemicals left behind by the...
