I have a 27' AGP with a single speed pump and I follow the TFP method of using liquid chlorine. This year I would like to transition to a VSP and install a salt water system. At the moment I have a manual timer that runs the single speed pump. It appears that I have a few different solutions...

I live in CT with the highest electric rates in the country and considering moving to a variable speed pump on my 27' AGP. Currently I have a 1.5hp hayward 240v pump on a manual timer and an "integrated" Hayward cartridge filter. If I go with a 1.5hp VS pump will it be ok to plumb it into the...

My AGP has been covered for 1.5 months and noticed the other day the the cover was way too low. Much to my surprise there is only 1 foot of water in the pool. I immediately pulled the cover off to prevent it from pulling in the side. I then got my waders on to see if I could find the leak and...

I opened my pool for the year and its been running for 2 weeks. It's crystal clear and ran all my tests this weekend, but not sure what the right approach should be to correct the pH without adding more Alk. Any thoughts? pH - 6.6 Alk - 90 FC - 6.0 CA - 30 CH - 75 This is an above ground...

Looks like I have a small leak in my above ground pool as the cover has been slowly falling in over the last month and today it finally went into the pool. It's still winter in New England and we still have a while to go. Should I just leave the cover in the pool as its currently frozen in the...

My pool has been dormant and covered since Sept and with the winter thaw beginning up here in New England, does it make sense to pull the cover back and throw a bunch of liquid chlorine in it? With the pumps disconnected there is no way to circulate it, so I thinking its a waste? Any thoughts?

I have a new above ground pool with a pool heater and hayward pump and filter that were installed with 1.5" PVC. While I technically could remove the pump, filter and disconnect all the plumbing, do I have to? Can I suck all the water out, take the cartridge filter out, pull the plugs out of...

I had an above ground installed this year with the electrical done by a professional. There is a 70amp 240v dedicated circuit that runs to a subpanel outside with dedicated circuits for the pool pump and heat pump. The last week every day I come home and the main breaker in the house is in the...

My above ground pool has been installed for just over a month and after a large rain storm I noticed that it appears that some of the sand must be getting pulled away from under the liner. Any thoughts on how to correct this? I put gravel all around the pool to encourage good drainage, but...

I have a mineral pool (FROG system) and the app is always yelling at my that I am out of the ideal chlorine range. Is there a way to edit the ideal ranges? If so, I can't seem to find it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I just had my 27' above ground installed last last week and only after 3 days I hate dragging the heavy 8 mil solar cover off the pool. I keep looking online and I also hate the reels with them splitting the round pool directly in half and then you need to remove the entire assembly or move it...

I have the TFP Test kit and my question is should begin adjusting the water conditions in a certain order (i.e. ph first, then alkalinity, etc)? Perhaps it doesn't matter? Should I shock it first and then adjust the water chemistry? Any advice is appreciated for this first time pool noobie...
