Hello,
Thanks for letting me join this group. I have a question. I have a
timer that is rated 15 amp and my 1h pump is rated 12.5 amp so think

Whats the easiest way to do this? Can I just disconnect the valve at

Hello all thanks for taking the time to look at my question. I have a
16×32 in ground pool with an 3′ to 8′ hopper end and the past couple of

salt water pool. The rest of the chemistry appears on the mark. The
setting on the generator is at about 100% and run it at least 12 hours

We hope to fill our 18 x 4′ AG pool this week.
6400 gallon prox capacity.
Anyone know how long it takes to fill on city water,
normal pressure ?
Its cheaper to fill with city water and take the waste water
credit than to have it trucked in by tanker.
Also, what should I be looking for in buying a […]

I hear from some people NEVER add shock or any chemical through the
skimmer, and some people tell me this this is the recomended method.

Greetings everyone,
I’ve been away from this group since we closed our pool last fall,
but we have been busy getting it ready for this season. All we need
now is a few more degrees!
At the close of last season we accepted that we’d need to repaint
the pool - a major and costly […]
