Did you not back up your data prior to updating?

Totally understand. Just wanted to make sure it didn't slip through the cracks. I am on Nougat, on a Google Pixel, if that helps.

Leebo, I know you are busy with higher priority bugs, but just wanted to make sure you saw the android icon bug a number of us reported a bit back in this thread. Thanks for all your hard work!

After the latest Android app update, the icon has changed from the pool/math symbols to the generic Android robot icon. Both in the app drawer and for the shortcut I placed on the home screen. Not sure if it's related to the server issues, or a separate issue.

The Hayward wide mouth is the standard mouth skimmer with an attachment on it to widen the port that attaches to the pool. Both eventually funnel back into the same size opening. Because of the attachment, the wide mouth skimmer will be suspended farther from the pool wall, so that's a...

If you're talking about the adapter in that Lowes link you posted, no, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that most store bought threaded pvc stuff won't work (or work as easily), since the intex threads are non-standard. You can make your own adapter with the Carlon part, a threaded...

Good job!

I believe the backwash port has the same threads as the other ports on my intex sand filter.

Oh, and in the meantime, check out pool school and get familiar with Pool Math. It's going to become your best friend.

It's all good. You have some work ahead of you, but once you've righted the ship, you'll be on track to much lower costs to maintain your pool.

Littlesnail81, Continuing to buy products at the pool store and adding them to your pool will only cause you more issues, and will not be compatible with the advice you will receive here. Every time you add powdered/granulated "shock" products or use chlorine "pucks" (or really just about...

Suction side clog? Pump impeller problem? Suction side valve closed too far?

The problem is that Intex uses non-standard threads on their products, so off-the-shelf products don't typically work. What you need to make the custom coupler is a 1 1/2" PVC box adapter. These are found in the electrical department at the big box stores. The ones I used were Carlon brand...

Yep, that is exactly right.
