I may have started in the wrong forum.
As in I have an AGP with only 8000 gallons in a 24 x12 intex pool. It appears most have larger IGP. I upgraded to a larger sand filtered pump than the size that came with it. I followed all directions on the install and setup of pump with backwash and rinse first before filtering.
A couple quick questions. The pool store I went to check my water first week said no calcium in an AGP with Vinyl liner. Then the next week they said you need to use Calcium primarily for the pump. They also wanted to use a phosphate remover requiring two backwashes. I was surprised this was needed for a brand new sand filtered pump. I need to know if this is a store I can trust for pool chemistry or if these are just $$ grabbing fluff. Thanks, Larry
