I have mine hanging at the filter discharge nozzle so that the residue gets mixed by the turbulent water entering the pool. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Ok, I have the Taylor K-2006 kit, and I ran my first test yesterday. 6-16-2012 FC is 8 PPM PH is 7.0 CYA is 35 PPM TA is 70 PPM I retested this evening (the 17) with the old test strip after a day of lite use with no cover on for the past 36 hours and certified that the FC is still reading...

Wow, I copied the link to my phones browser to view this, and I'm impressed, that pool goes up and down, and then up and down. It reminds me of one of those amusement park rides for the young kids that is basically a circular track that waves up and down as the car travels around. That thing is...

I want to see the picture! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

The Intex is pretty inexpensive, I paid $320 a few weeks ago for the 18' round x 48" deep. I consider it disposable! That said, mine I don't feel is so unlevel that it may fall over. Im on a phone with Tapatalk and can not see the op's picture. I wonder how bad it is?? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus...

Then note that it's way, way under your $600. Profit! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Target.com with free shipping, Intex 16' Ultra for $399 or the Intex 18' ultra for $499. This gets you well within your budget with the larger 18' pool that has the 1.5" hose connections and larger 1500 gph pump/filter allowing later plug and play upgrade to the 2650 gph sand filter or the 2500...

Galaxy Nexus 4.0.4 , having issues. It will not download, I get this error. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I just ordered myself 6 OEM Intex replacement filters for a few cents over $33 from New Egg. I stopped at the local pool supply store last night and he said he would need to order me spare filters from Intex for $20 each. I politely backed out of it and searched Google Shopping and found this...

I admit that did similar with my Intex 18' round ultra frame. I used my engine lift, wrapped the T joint with a 3" lift strap, jacked the center of the three sunk legs and placed 1" thick slab of wood under it, then did the same to the 2 outer legs. I forgot to take pictures, but it seems to...

Per my reading here, this evening instead of doing the hand mash of balancer in the butter dish... I put a guess (low guess) amount of balancer into one of my favorite socks and strong it in front of the filter discharge. Red Neck pool mechanics! I need some Intex type B filters to stock up on...

From reading on the BBB I see that the stabilizer/balancer is something I have to continue to purchase at the pool store. Yesterday I made a bad move and hit it with ph, stabilizer and half a bag of shock. After reading on here today I see that I should not be trying to "fix" all the chemicals...

Yes, I absolutely plan to break this pool down for winter and put it back up next spring. I do not know what "BBB" stands for? I am 9 days into pool ownership :)

I cheaped out and ordered the Taylor K-2006 kit to get started with. My wife is going to freak if I start dropping $100 here and $200 there every time she looks at her account. I'll break into this as slow as I can so as to prevent any bloodletting! Next battle will be to talk her into...

I've already opened and began using these chemicals, so that is already played out. Im ordering the enhanced test kit, I believe the T100 as it seems to be the best overall value with more product to use over longer time. Can anyone provide links to the recommended chemicals to buy and have on...
