I went with Walmart. Their Chlorine went up from 3.49 to 5.49 but what can you do ? Because of Covid, many retailers seem to just be price gauging on everything, even if they aren't impacted any longer. Great for them, bad for us.

Anyone know a good place for Chlorine in PA area ? I am in Berks county

revisiting this a year later..lol. I live in PA in Berks county and looking for reputable person to do a buried AGP or a regular inground. I have a budget of 15-20k. My only requirement is walk in stairs and a 7 foot deep end. Is that even in my budget ?

Well, I do plan on staying there for at least a decade. I have a family of 4(including myself). I currently have a 21 ft AGP so 24x16 or 28x16 should be fine. What are the general price differences between a buried AGP vs an inground fiberglass ?

Hi guys: I have had a beautiful 21' AGP for the past 4 years with no issues whatsoever using the BBB method. Super easy to maintain. We are moving to a brand new home with a GIANT 1.5 acre backyard and are already considering pool options. Its a blank slate. 4 years ago when we looked at...

just wondering --I have a heyward 2 speed pump. I run it on low for 12 hours straight. I put it on high when I add chemicals or vacuum.

good answers guys. I just wish there was a way I could avoid having to let 8 inches of water flow out and having to refill it every time.

Hi guys. I keep my pool level pretty high for vacuuming purposes and because Im 6'3''. :) The water level is just below the skimmer. Last night we got a ton of rain so I put the filter on backwash with the pump off and just let it flow out to the back of my yard. So this morning as I am...

OK revisiting this now. So I am assuming the corrugated pipe that is around the pool is perforated ? So here would be my understanding of what to do. Put down a base of gravel all around pool. Put perforated corrugated pipe on the deeper side. Cover with gravel. Add river rocks on top of...

Heres what I mean by flexible PVC and the smooth pool fitting. [attachment=2:1oczjiq6]flexPVC.jpg[/attachment:1oczjiq6] [attachment=1:1oczjiq6]thumb-Pool fitting.jpg[/attachment:1oczjiq6] What you need with the flex PVC is this..

Just a live and learn here guys. I went to the pool store---got everything I thought I needed to hook up my pump and filter. The owner of the store cut me some flexible PVC to hook up between pumpo and filter along with 2 threaded to smooth fittings. This will NOT work. I learned the hard way...

guess Im having a hard time envisioning putting round tubes of pipe with rocks on top of it and how that would protect the pool wall.

By corrugated drain pipe you mean the black tubes ? You filled those with rocks ?

So I currently have a 2-3 foot ring around my AGP and at the point in the picture its a foot drop off from grass to dirt. I was going to fill it in with river rocks but was concerned about the pressure of the rocks on the pool wall. Any suggestions ...

i have bare dirt by the skimmer. This is a new pool install. I am going to run a hose from the waste port to the back of my house and leave the filter OFF. If it drains below the skimmer so what ? I have great water pressure here. I can get it back above the skimmer within a couple hours.

What about if I just run a hose from my skimmer to the back of my yard ? or couldn't I just leave my filter on "waste" and it will automatically drain ? No one answered that...sorry if thats an obvious question

Just wondering. I read in another thread someone said to drill a hole and run a hose somewhere but thats not an option now. Pool is filled and hurricane hits tonight ! Can I set my Heyward filter S244T on "waste" and it will just flow out of the filter ? (my filter will remain off)

My situation is just putting bleach in the pool. My pool installer worried me a bit when he said I have to run the filter for 24 hours after putting bleach in

I am doing the BBB method. After adding bleach---how long should I run filter ? I cant run it 24 hours due to dedicated electric not set up yet. Pool guy told me I need to run it 24 hours or it could bleach skin. I could run it 4-5 hours on 1/2 hp

ok ty. No way I can store pump and filter...my filter weighs like 250 lbs with the sand.

Ha---I went to pool store to get my water tested. He recommended about 300.00 worth of chemicals. I told him I am going to use BBB method, he said "you can do that, but thats going to introduce a lot of other chemicals into the pool, our products are pure. Ive been in the pool business for 30...

Ahh---working so hard this past week trying to get my levels right. And here comes big bad Irene. We are probably going to get 60-75MPH winds by me. Should I buy a cover for the pool ? If not what do I do about overflowing water out of the pool ? I cant leave my pump on during the storm (no...

Yeah mine didnt come with the base. I really wanted a 2 speed pump and they dont make those in the filter/pump combos that come on a base.

So I have the gigantic S244T sand filter and the powerflo matrix pump. I am hooking up tonight. However I do not have a base to put them both on and do not want to just sin in the grass. What can I mount them on ? I do not want to pay 50 dollars for the "pool store" pad. Thoughts anyone ?
