I just had a Splash Super Pool relocated and leveled. I moved it over to the new deck I put on the lower level of my house deck. I built a a platform for the pump/filter/swg to sit on so I don't have to stand on my head to adjust the controls, etc. I made it out of left over lumber from a former deck and decided to use the pier blocks too rather than throw them out or give them away. Now my filter, etc is about 12" off the ground (and bottom of the pool). Is this okay for an AGP? The filter is still empty and light so If I need to put it back on the ground, I can.

Ok, I'm just gonna give my TC here - I believe with an AGP you need to make sure your pump and filter are lower than the return? Other than than, don't know if there would be an issue with the pool setup. Good luck!
AGP Pool pumps aren't designed to self prime so the suction of the pump needs to be below the skimmer to work correctly. Raising it up a foot shouldn't be a problem.
