How do you tell by looking at above ground pool pumps verses inground pool pumps if they will work for my inground pool?

They will most likely work, they just have to have the same specifications.


Could you change pumps on your above ground pool?

i guess. just buy some that are the same size


Can you make an oval pool into a round pool.. Are the ground wall bar tracks the same that came with the oval to design a round from it?

Due to the differences in engineering and the parts involved, there really is no way to convert an oval above ground pool into a round pool.


You just converted your above ground pool to salt water and it has turned green?

Just the same as not putting enough chlorine in the pool. You can treat the water the same as you would have and increase the production of the salt system.


I sprayed a wasp killing spray in the pool to kill wasp. How long do I have to wait to swim in the pool?

It is not that you have to wait for it to desolve, those were poisonous chemicals that could harm you. If it is a mobile pool drain it and then fill it up again. The same thing with in ground pools or above ground.


How do you repair a slash in a quick set above ground vinyl pool?

You can purchase a patch kit at any swimming pool retailer and use the same type of patch that is used for an above ground swimming pool liner - the kit is relatively inexpensive but it takes a while to seal but around the slash it should be clean as possible and the drier the better


Can an in ground pool liner be used in an above ground pool?

no because then it will float.Correct AnswerI have over 30 years experience in the pool industry. I have no idea what the previous answer is trying to say. The fact is, the liner is the same material but they are made to fit a specific size and type of pool. Above ground pools use liners that either lock into a bead around the pool or they overlap the wall. Inground pools only use liners that lock into a bead. Regardless, if the liner is not made to fit the pool you want to use it in, it can not be made to fit. So, the short answer is...no.


Will composite deck boards be too heavy to replace top rails that have rusted on above ground pool?

I am about to start the same project, it's worth a shot !


What are the pros and cons of an inground pool compared to an above ground pool?

An above-ground pool is easier to maintain, mostly because of their size. They can also be moved from their original location and relocated someplace else, if at sometime you decided you didn't want it anymore. In-ground pools, in most cases, increase the value of your home, as well as created buyer appeal, if you decided to sell. In-grounds are considerable more expensive, but once you got it...you got it. Same is true for most above grounds. They are very well made these days as opposed to twenty years ago, when an above ground pool may last a year or twenty years, according to what type you bought.


Is there a machine to find a hole in an above ground pool?

Should be able to use the same idea as checking for a tire leak - rub some dish detergent over the outside of the pool and see where the bubbles form.


When installing an above ground pool how do you get out of the middle after levelling the sand and cove the same thing then applies after you install the liner you are stuck in the pool?

we had to put a ladder (a very small one) inside the pool and a larger one outside the pool. we have built twice this summer and did that way both times.


How far can the filer be from an above ground pool?

Usually, because of the nature of the way above ground pools are assembled or attached to the equipment - small hoses - - the distance has to be fairly close to the side wall of the pool. The longer the hose the more flow loss you have. That is because the inside of the hose is the same as the outside of the hose --- sort of an expanded corrugation -- much friction involved.
