My wife and I are in the process of starting planning our new home build and also are thinking of installing the pool too. We are looking for reputable builders in our area found 1 or 2 online with reviews but would like more. We will be pricing both gunite and fiberglass if that helps...

Thanks for the suggestions. DE pool grade would be great if it works. I always keep a little on hand to help clear up my water and make my sand filter work a little better Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Not when I store it. They build nests in and around the pump motor housing while in use. I put poison and kill them then a week or so later they are back Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Ok hope this is in the right place. I keep having ants build mounds inside my pump and salt water generator. Anyone else have this problem or a solution. I lost one pump that was stored and I never noticed they had built up in the housing. Pull the pump to use and it's rusted shut. Sent...

I did run into a problem. I ordered the 6000rz bearing but they changed size bearing sometime between my old pump and new pump. The new pump has a 6201z bearing which is a little bigger so you may want to tear it down and see which one you will need Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Google intex pool pump bearings and 3 vids will come up to walk you through it. It's not very hard just remember how everything goes back Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Probably bad bearings. Mine does it too. Tore it apart and the impeller side bearing was shot. 6000rz bearing from amazon got 2 for under 10 bucks Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info. We'll one of mine was stored in the attic but little did I know I had an ant infestation inside the pump. We'll pulled it out to replace the current one and its rusted in place. The current one sound bad like it almost has a ping sound to it while running not really a...

Can you give me the model you replaced it with? I can get a replacement from intex for $95 but was thinking of going with something that would be of better quality Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Thanks for the reply. I don't seem to have a problem as far as the filter size. Once it's clean and running I don't backwash very often at all. I was thinking of a Hayward 1 hp but wanted some advice from people here that have likely had alot more experience than me thanks again Sent from my...

So I have one intex sand filter motor frozen and another that isn't sounding too swift. Anyone ever replace the motor with something better and continue using the sand filter itself? If so how is it working? What pump would you suggest? We have a 21 round by 52 deep intex ultra frame. Sent...

It's really going to depends on how much suction your pump has. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

I haven't had any problems Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

My pump isn't across the yard so no I would take it from the water over the side of the pool and onto the pipe Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Put the vacuum and hose in the pool. Hold the end of the hose over ur pump return so it is pushing water into the hose which will push air out. Then you take the hose and connect it to the vacuum port then open the vacuum port valve Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
