I did the conversion years ago.. There are pics in my sig. You're doing great.. it's hard work and somewhat taxing, but the reward will be AMAZING!!! Remember to change out the sand in your filter once the conversion is complete!

I have an Intex and have had it up for 3 years... I thought about the hard walled ones too but if you do the math, you can get 4-5 Intex pools (4 years of life out of each would give you 16 years) for the same price as one hard walled one and I doubt you will have zero issues for 16 years out of...

Thanks Guys!! I'm new to the SWG and was just curious!

My SWG doesn't have a percentage setting, just an hourly run and I ALWAYS adhere to the chlorine/CYA chart.. LOL!! This is the first SWG I have owned and was just curious if the chlorine level fluctuated with heat and coolness of the water and if it was normal to have to adjust the run times is...

Quick question... Do you need to adjust the run time based off the chlorine levels throughout the year or do you "set it and forget it"? I check my levels about once a week or so and noticed yesterday my chlorine is creeping higher. It's currently at 7.5 which is not terrible, but I normally...

Jim, Thanks for checking!! I didn't know you could search like John stated! Thanks guys for all y'all do for the forum! Roll Tide!!

You know when you first pull up the forum, there are photo's at the top? It would be cool to be able to click somewhere that would take you to that particular thread. I haven't searched this and just throwing it out there so if it has been suggested before, I apologize in advance. Just a...

VERY nice looking pool ColdBeers!! Great job!!:cheers::cheers::cheers:

Welcome Dan! Check out the pics in my sig for my conversion pics!! You will absolutely LOVE it once you get finished!! Be sure to change out the sand when you are done! The goo is awful!

MrB, that is exactly what I was referring to... We have issues with flying ants and they are small enough to make it through the basket and into the sand. With the knee high, it traps them there and I can just hose them off and reinstall it. I do have to change it out every week or so, but...

Most people vacuum to waste which bypasses the filter and dumps the water. I know every time I get a lot of rain, I use the opportunity to vacuum with the return since it has more suction than my Pool Blaster. You may also want to put a knee high in your filter basket to filter out smaller...

I just sold my robot because it used to get trapped under the steps too much. I have one of these and it does wonders for my application..

True... It's in the tap water... But you need to know how much is in there so you don't add too much, because like I said, It's easier to add more than it is to remove it!

Hi Marlise! Welcome to the forum!! 1st thing you need to do once filled, it add your cyanuric acid. It will normally take about 2-3 days before you will be able to see it on the TF100 test kit. You can add chlorine to the water, but it will probably get eaten by the sun until the cya sets up...
