Hi guys, I just started my fourth year with the Intex brand salt water chlorine generator. At the start of the year, everything was working perfectly but over the past few days I've ran into a problem. The green light on the generator still comes on and I don't get any error codes. It will run...

First of all, I really appreciate the advice that everyone has given. I had no idea where to start and your responses helped greatly. I finished this job today and wanted to post a follow up just in case someone else had to do a similar job. That's what is great about an online forum......you...

pedsrn.....thanks for the advice. I did go out a few minutes ago and removed one of my top rails. I don't know if I just got lucky but nothing moved while the rail was removed and after brushing away the rust, it went back on without a problem. I did speak to one pool repairman that I've used...

Mark, thanks for the advice. The pool is a steel wall, epoxy coated made by Cantar. The top rails are 6" wide and approx. 50 inches long. Thanks again, Dave

Hi guys, I have some rust showing up on the top rails of my 24 foot above ground pool and I want to repair this problem before it gets out of hand. I have ordered an item called POR15 that will certainly stop the rust but in order to use it I have to remove the top rails for approximately a 4...

Hi guys.... I recently purchased a mesh winter cover to replace my aging "tarp style" solid cover and have a question about proper installation. I'm not exactly sure of the best way to place this cover over the pool. My hope is that it will drain the water off of the cover while catching the...

A plumbing check valve will work but I don't use the style you show in your picture. The type I use is a 1" brass, threaded spring style check which works great. I simply put it on the highest point of my panels and when the pump shuts off the water pulls the valve open which drains the water...

Well I have to say that this is one really cool find. I don't drink beer that much (pretty much a red wine man now that I'm older, i.e. wimpy-er) but Heineken and St. Pauli Girl have always been my favorite beers. Thanks for the information. I'll have to check this one out!

I've been running my intex unit for about three weeks or so and I'm a little bit confused about something.... My FC level has been staying at about 3 ppm with a CYA of 50. Since I've never had even a hint of algae at these levels (even when using bleach) I have no problem with my readings. My TA...

Okay, here is a link to the Dual speakers I've been talking up. They are more expensive on this site than at Circuit City but they are the same speakers....... I also looked at Circuit City's site and could not find these speakers listed. I do however agree with John that the Element E0D4...

John, I'm with you..... I keep looking for the downside of the Dual speakers but I simply can't find one. When I was a teenager the most coveted turntable going was a Dual brand and you certainly paid a premium for the quality. I guess over the years the Dual name has become more obscure and...

Okay, someone will have to help me with posting a pic as a part of the message body. In the meantime, here's a couple of links of my PVC set up on photobucket. Link #1: http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn19 ... ageditmany Link #2: http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn19 ... ageditmany I use...

First time posting a pic.....hope it works

Hi guys... First of all, let me say that this recommendation is not for the audiophile but rather is an inexpensive alternative to the better known (and better sounding) outdoor speakers. A few years ago I was shopping for some pool side speakers and just happened to go into our local Circuit...

Hopefully I'm not too late to help you out here..... I have had several leaks on my panels over the past few years and here's what I do. It has worked well for me so hopefully it will help you out. At the very edge of the solar panel there should be a "half tube". This is where the section was...
