Hello All, of course I just joined this forum, and am looking for some advice/help/. I have been an AGP owner for the last 4 years, all intex metal frame pools. Our family is ready to upgrade to a larger AGP and the choices seem to be endless. From the research I have done, it seems that instead of buying a pool package, it is wiser to just buy the pool (liner/frame/skimmer) and purchase the filter and pump seperately to ensure the pump and filter size are matched accordingly to the pool size. Does this sound like a good plan? If so, I am looking at the oval 18' x 33' above ground pools and was wondering what this forum would recommend in regards to pump and filter size and media type. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I am sold on the size 18' x 33', but have not determined the make of pool I am going to purchase. Any help in this regard would be appreciated also.

Jonathan
