Figured I would share my success story. I used to have problems with my Intex auto pool cleaner (crawler) with it getting stuck often and what not. I was looking at some YouTube tutorials on fixes for these things and it looks like sand/grit gets stuck in the gears and stops it from reversing...

I was thinking the same thing. I have a 24ft pool. I have the cartridge filter, and I just purchased the sand filter. I have the two inlets that come to the T connection, and I just purchased the single fittings. I was thinking of running them both at the same time (not all the time, but for...

Ah okay, that makes sense then to do since you don't hsve the plastic inserts. My knowledge on bonding goes as far as what I could muster on Google as I'm not an electrician, but I wonder then since I have the plastic inserts what the proper way is to bond this pool, especially with a heater...

Thanks for the follow up. I have a Bestway pool, which I believe is the same as the intex frame. My frame has plastic inserts for each pipe connection, and plastic feet for each leg. Im thinking every piece of metal would need to be bonded in order to ensure everything has equal potential. Is...

So what was your solution for bonding the heater with an intex pool?

Ah shoot, meant to say, "sodium bisulfate"!

Good point! Had I left mine a little longer and/or had wider ones I may not of had to redo the ones that were off. I was trying to avoid the liner coming up to the brick and resting on it - based off pictures of how the pool looked, but after it was all said and done, the liner comes pretty...

(As the tumble weeds blow by in this thread) As promised - finished results. I dug out the ground a little for each paver area and added left over crushed gravel and tamped with hand tamper. I dug out a square big enough so the hand tamper would fit. I also got 2 and 3/8 by about 16 inches...

Btw, I edited my signature. I noticed it didn't update my recent posts (maybe it takes time) but posting for easy reference to view signature contents of pool information in case I have nothing to say for a while.

Very true!

Thanks mknauss. Just a hectic schedule currently, so I figure I am bound to forget right now, but maybe I will try to discipline myself more to use the bleach bottles. OKay, I was looking at the TF100 kit yesterday, but the price tag had me in limbo, but with the refills like you said you...

Okay, things are getting a little clearer after reading a bunch of different examples and sites, things started to come together. I just need to get a better testing kit, and I am looking to different options right now, deciding how much I want to spend. So from what I can make of those test...

I was looking at those earlier but eas having trouble relating actual chemicals or products to acronyms.. still trying to digest it all. Should i still throw bleach in even though i added 2lbs of the shock

So as like many im brand spanking new to kicking off a pool. I read through the pool school and im confused on the when to add each chemical or if im testing the right things, or maybe my tester is cheap. Finally added the last amount of water today, and have the pump running. It's a 24ft...
