Hi Friends, My AGP is still standing after its first winter. I'm getting ready to open it either this weekend or next. I am assuming the first steps are: 1. Drain water off the top of the cover 2. Untie and roll back the cover to remove it 3. Hook up plumbing 4. Fill 5. Run it for 24 hours...

Hi there, I have an AGP that’s 4’ deep but we dug down 2’ and backfilled around it. We installed it last year and ran out of money and patience to build a deck or surround and entry. Now we are looking at doing a stone wall around the pool with steps to enter and a ladder to exit. I’ve no doubt...

Hi Friends, Winter is coming to New York. My AGP is covered and everything disconnected. My question for you all is: what absolutely must come indoors, what can stay in my unheated garage, and what can stay out where it is? The heater is hardwired and can’t be moved, so I’m covering that with...

Hi there, First time closing my AGP. It has rained like crazy for the last 4 weekends so I'm a little late to the game. I read the sticky post and many more forum posts on the process. My cover is an EZ-Drain cover. It's an otherwise solid cover with a plastic drain set in the center. That...

Hi All, We would like to extend our swimming season by adding a heat pump. Is there a recommended brand/model? Our pool is 8500 gallon above ground (installed semi-inground) and we have a bubble cover. Thanks!

Welcome to the land of rookie mistakes... We just had a semi-inground pool installed on Monday. Started filling on Monday afternoon. Everything appeared fine. Continued filling on Tuesday morning and the hose slipped out unnoticed. It ran for maybe 20 minutes unattended before I discovered it...

Hi Everyone, I'm new here, new to pools and everything that goes with owning one. I'm usually a pretty diligent researcher on home improvements, but...let's just say I missed a few homework assignments on this one. Yesterday I had a 15X24' oval pool installed semi-inground. The installer told...
