Any responds?

About 40 in long (measured from footing to T-part) and 5 in circumference.

I have Summer Escape pool, either 15 or 16 ft. Bought it at $125 and been using it as SWG pool. This year would be 4 years but most of vertical bars are rusted at the bottom. Searched on ebay sell around $10 - $12/each/used. There are total 15 bars. The cost would be more than the pool...

I opened the pool two weeks ago. The water was so cloudy/bit green so I shocked it (it is all good now). At the time, I only tested/added salt and bleach to the shock level. I didn't add any CYA. I just assumed it at the good level when I closed the pool in the last winter. I only...

PH = 8.2 TA = 50 If I add MA to bring down PH, TA level will be down to. If I add baking soda to bring TA up, PH will be up to. What should I do?

I have Intex sand filter model SF15110. Last two weeks it made noise so loud when running. Last few days, it died, no running. My wife told me it was humming but no running, then died I buy new bearing and replace the bearing. Put the pump back. When I turn on, it makes noise but the...

Mine got same symptom. It got louder for awhile now stop working. Opened it to check if it was capacitor or bearing. Now when I turn it on, it hums but the impeller wouldn't turn. How does the bearing look like and where to order it?

Darn, I am always rinse with the cap closed. In fact, it sounds louder than I got it last year. If I recall, the Index manual didn't say anything about this So, can I just install the hose on backwashing port and leave it there for good?

I meant the outlet where I remove the cap, connect the hose for backwashing. When I have done, I remove the hose, close the cap for rinse. Do you do the rinse while the hose connected?

I am at work right now, but after I was reading this, I think I know why. It was my DUMB mistake. The process is "filter - backwashing - rinse" and I have been doing that since I have the pool last year. After came back from 2 weeks vacation (I set timer but the pool was still filthy because...

My sand filter is flowing weak lately. So, I decided to give it a clean. When I opened the top part of the sand container, I had found that whole bunch of dirty stuff inside the lid. I cleaned it. Then I saw the water inside the tank is so dirty, like dark brown. There is about half of inch...
