    Need help on my dads pool....

    Guys, I thought I could clear this pool after everything I learned here... No Go! We are in WSW Texas Uvalde/Del Rio. The pool is cloudy and cannot see the bottom, much less the 2nd step. You can pull a sample and it is clear, and you can literally watch the limestone settle on the steps...

    HELP - 3 week old Intex

    We got a little rain today while the SWG was running, but I don't think that was the problem. I went to check the pool and the SWG was screaming Low Salt and there were no gas bubbles in the unit. A little history: I did not read the manual like I should have and ran the SWG 8 hours after I...

    New pool to me, with mods.

    Been lurking around and reading all the wonderful information. My Story: 3 weeks ago I was offered an Intex 18x48 metal frame pool free and I couldn't turn it down. I was hesitant to get a temporary pool, but the family loves it, along with every kid in the neighborhood. I started by...
