Hi. My family has decided to get an ag pool, 12x24x54", intex. I have also decided to go with the salt water generator. My father put up a pool a few years ago that I helped with, actually did all the plumbing and such. Since then he has passed away. the Grandkids really enjoyed the pool with Grandpa so that was a big factor in purchasing one for our family. We are currently getting the ground level. I am looking for any advice for installing a new ag pool that I need to look for or may run into. One of my concerns is to have a shelter of some kind to keep the sun off the sand filter, is it necessary? What would people have done different that is hard to change after it is up? i am also considering getting the test kit offered online, F-100. i got some pea gravel for the bottom of the sand filter as recommended by a pool guy and some people on the forum, any input on that would help too. I look forward to using this forum (as my father did) for advice and knowledge. I am pretty confident on the start up but will need help when I close it for the season.
Thanks to all of you that share your experiences, I appreciate it.
