    Intex skimmer flipping up...pump burned out.

    Zip ties. Hasn’t budged since I put these. Even with the kids going nuts in the pool.

    Intex pump too loud?

    I don’t remember the old one ever being this quiet. Maybe I just completely forgot what it sounded like originally. Now im going to be wondering if it’s even on. This new one pumps a bit more too. I think it’s 2450 GPH vs 2150 GPH with the old. So far I’m able to leave my inlet wide open...

    Intex pump too loud?

    Intex pump too loud?

    I turned it on for the first time this season and placed an order for another the same day. I was thinking of my neighbors too. It should be here Friday. I did go with another Intex, different model, 28651EG sand filter pump only. Open box new for $150. I’ll get a separate SWG later. Last season...

    Intex pump too loud?

    I think so. What do you think? Streamable - free video publishing I forgot what it used to sound like a couple of years ago when it was new.

    CYA gone, no algae and pool sparkling clear

    Thanks for this post. I think the same occurred in my pool over the winter. This was my first year with the pool. I didn't run my pump over the winter and I didn't add chlorine. Pool stayed clear. I was at around 60 to 70 CYA last year. Im not even measuring 20 this year. I've added some...

    I made a pool logger

    I was going to say no text but suggest to add a notification but then I realized this is not an app! :) Anyone look at CSI result in poollogger? Is it matching TFP Pool Math?

    PoolingAround's get it right the first time thread!

    I came across a post from chem_geek recently that said that the active chlorine level is lower in pools with CYA as the water gets colder. To me that means with a higher CYA and cold water you would have to bump up the FC higher than the SWG CYA/FC chart. Im not sure I'd go any higher with your...

    I got the Intex Automatic Pool Cleaner

    Did a video. Intex Auto Pool Cleaner and Intex LED Pool Fountain on PVC tee and ball valve - YouTube Should have turned each valve to show the water flow. Maybe next time. Nice to see the floor so clean in the morning without having to manually vacuum.

    I got the Intex Automatic Pool Cleaner

    Looks like Amazon now has 17 more of these in stock and my order which was originally scheduled for December delivery will now be here Monday. Nice! Thanks to this thread I'm going to try to set mine up like jeffchap so I can maintain the original return/inlet.

    Intex ultra frame leg loops?

    No bottom rope on mine either. Does it loop through anything or just a regular old rope that ties around all legs?
