Hello, My little brother bought a house and inherited an above ground pool in bad shape. We got the pump put back together with new sand. The pool was pea soup with lots of debris. We cleared the floating debris and scooped what we could from the bottom. I told him to run the pump 24-7 while...

Yes I was just coming back to delete the post as I found the info I was looking for intex 18x42 AGB-Syracuse, NY
