Crossthreaded? That will make it leak.

Do you have it going across a seam? If it's the horizontal seam is the water over it?

I used these. I just set it up this year so I can't speak to their longevity but they seem very nice. I'm not affiliated with that supplier but I did buy all of my fittings there.

That's a Hayward AGP skimmer that uses the below basket. Your old plate will work with it. Hayward SPX1091C Basket with Handle Replacement for Hayward Automatic Skimmers Amazon.com: Hayward SPX1091C Basket with Handle Replacement for Hayward Automatic Skimmers: Garden & Outdoor

I cropped this one for you. It is at an angle but not much.

I can post a picture tomorrow. Is your pool filled up? the walls tilt a lot when it's not full.

It is.

I used 2" valves with 1 1/2" pipe to keep restrictions to a minimum. I used flexible PVC for the horizontal lines coming out of the pool. Got a small floor drain for the regular suction cover. I forgot to take a picture of it but here it is. not found | AquaStar Pool...

Got it all hooked up yesterday. This thing moves way more water. The skimmer is a force to be reckoned with.

I cut mine yesterday. It was just as easy as everyone says it is. We put the top screws through the seam and when cutting the opening left the seam there. It shouldn't make a difference in how well it works.

Very nice!

Did you use the screws from the wide mouth kit? They might be longer.

Not one to leave well enough alone I couldn't help myself with the pool my wife wanted. She didn't realize it would be a new hobby for me (like I need another one). So I kept an eye on the price for a few filter/pump combos during the cold season and grabbed a Pentair setup I thought would...

I don't know what they did there but you can use a 1 1/2" threaded PVC fitting like they did on the valve. That's what I am going to use soon.

Putting up a deck right now. We should still have a little swimming time before winter here in Texas.

That's awesome! I was looking at those pumps yesterday.

I am going to hard plumb mine and I was curious as to adding a second return line. Maybe I'll turn the second inlet hole into a return jet and have the skimmer in the middle.

Pricing out what I need to plumb it with PVC. I want to add a Hayward skimmer and spray bar too. Currently trying to figure out what fittings I need to attach flexible PVC to the rigid.

It's made for round Intex pools but I made it work on mine.

Just do your skinny dippin' at night.

So the pool is going pretty good. I even got a canopy for it. A couple of the legs are a little lower than the rest but not by much and it doesn't seem to be hurting anything. We had a couple of days of good rain and nothing sank or moved on us. The 1/2" foam I put under it seems a little wavy...

K-2006 from Amazon. I got the bleach from Lowe's so it was outside. Yesterday I added the same amount (87oz) and this morning my FC was at 6.4. Something must have been in the water or on the pool to eat up all of that chlorine I guess.

I added 87oz of 10% chlorine last night. Is it normal that it's not registering today?

Just checked it again. CYA is closer to 60 now that the sun is up. When I tried to measure FC I couldn't get the sample to turn pink with 6 scoops of DPD powder. So I'm already back to zero?

I added what the pool math told me.

FC -. 8 checked this twice. I got .6 the second time. CC -. 4 pH - 7.0 TA - 80 CH - 120 CYA - 75 I checked this anyway. My sock is almost empty and it's too high but that's what was recommended.

When I used the app I didn't have it set on slam. Should I have?

SO I have the CYA in 2 socks. Do I wait to add Chlorine? I've got the liquid kind now. Do I put it in pool mat with the CYA level I'm expecting?

OK, back to the store for me. Thanks, I should have asked earlier. This is confusing. I have read a lot but they talk about levels I have no experience with yet. I just needed a place to start. The sock will go in tonight. Thanks

So chemicals, tell me if this is going to work. Shock it Add baking soda (tap water is TA 60ppm) Chlorine tab in the skimmer. Test tomorrow. I got some DE to put in the filter but I thought I would get it up and running first.
