Hello All, This is the second year that I have put up my Intex Above Ground Pool. Thus year I guess I was not as diligent when filling the pool and there are about a half dozen winkles at the bottom of the pool. The main issue is that dirt is being trapped by the wrinkles and its making it...

NicenNice setup! Does the mulch get muddy when it rains or pool water spills over? Also what is that contraction spraying water in the pool? BTW love your signs!

I was planning on just tilling over the existing sand. Is that a bad idea? It looks pretty clear from sticks on the top level at least. However the middle of it was used as a firepit during the winter months. About the weeds.... is this necessary even if we put a tarp over the sand before...

Last year I put up a Intex above ground pool. I tilled the ground, did my best job leveling it, placed down sand as a base, and then used a sodroller to compact it. The end result wasn't 100% level but it made it through the summer season without falling down! I took the pool down for the...

I am having a similar problem. My water levels are also in line and water is clear. I know you said you have been battling for a couple years. With that being said, with the water numbers in line what are the disadvantages of just sweeping it up and ignoring it?

My AGP has been set up for a few weeks now and while I have been adding chlorine but I really haven't done much about the PH yet. My PH is extremely low at about 6.2 and my total Alkalinity is at 0. What steps do you recommend I take to get the PH up? I have a 14 x 42 Above Ground Intex Pool...

The other day we tried to clean the filter on the standard Intex Pool Pump for our 14 foot AGP and now we can not get water to stop leaking out of the top housing. We checked the O ring and it does not appear cracked or anything. Has anyone else have had similar issues?

I have a 14 x 42 Intex Above Ground Pool. So far the water has been pretty clear. Right now I am using those 3 inch trichlor pucks and put bleach in the pool a few times per week. Lately I am seeing what appears to be dirt at the bottom but when I run my foot across it, it just dissolves. Is...

Earlier this summer I set up a 14 x 42 Intex Above Ground Pool. I am currently renting this house so the plan is to remove it at the end of the summer in a few months. I have been testing the water about 5 days a week using the Clorox 5 way test strips. About once every other day I add about...

Hey yall, so far the water is looking pretty clear; here is a quick update.... About 2 weeks ago I put in 2 of those 3" trichlor pucks into my floater. They are just now about all the way dissolved. I initially thought that it would only take 2 - 3 days to dissolve, is it normal for it to take...

Does anyone have any cost efficient and effective ways of cleaning the bottom of their Intex above ground pool? We have the standard pump so I don't think the traditional vacuum would work? We are having a small party tomorrow and would like to get the pool clean as possible! In walmart I saw...

Thank you for your help. I just went to Leslie's and saw Chlorine tablets. They had 3 inch Chlorine tablets. However it didn't mention 'trichlor'. I am guessing they were the correct thing. The smallest pack was 10 for $40. However they were out of stock. Does this sound like the right thing?

Sorry I didn't realize that were stuff to increase CYA other than tablets. Since I don't have a filter to put in a sock do you recommend me to try the tablets with a floater?

I successfully put up my Intex 14x42 AGP this past Saturday. We have ran the pump for about 6 hours Saturday night but it hasn't been ran since. (it has been raining the past few days). We also have not put any chemicals in it yet, I purchased some Clorox test strips until I find a better test...

My soil seems pretty soft. I tilled it all up to the remove the grass (plan on compacting it will roller before putting down sand) and the soil looked pretty good. Did not find many roots or rocks at all!
