When my intex sand filter is running it gets all the air out of the system, but when I turn it off, a bunch of air comes from somewhere and fills up half of the area with the clear lid and leaf basket. What could be causing this? The intake and output are both underwater and there are no leaks...

Hi. I have a 15 Ft round intex pool with the Intex sand filter and salt water system. My problem is that I can't get the air out of the system. When the filter runs there is always some air in the leaf basket area of the pump and then a lot of times when the pump turns off a whole lot of air...

Hi, My kids have very sensitive skin so we can only use sunscreen with physical blockers, such as Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide. The problem is that I think the sunscreen is making the pool a little cloudy. Is there anything I can do about this? We have a Intex sand filter 2100 gal per...

I have a intex SWG and when I was looking over the recommended chemicals it said that muriatic acid is better for SWG than dry acid...why? Does this mean I can't use dry acid? My pH is 7.8. Should I lower it a little or just wait for it to creep up a little more and then lower it? Thanks!!!

It seems like everywhere I read the recommended chlorine level is between 1 - 3 ppm and doing the BBB method the recommended level is 3-5 ppm with swg. Why is that? In my Intex SWG manual it says the ideal level for free Chlorine is 0.4 - 1.5 ppm ... that is way lower than the BBB...

I've read that people disconnect the copper generator on the Intex SWG...how and why? I've read that copper can turn hair green. My daughter has white (very blonde) hair and I'm worried that her hair will turn green. Is the copper necessary-what does it do? Thanks in advance for your reply!!

I have a 15x48 metal frame pool and we upgraded the pump to the intex 2011 sand filter. Today when I was running the filter the return hose came off of the return hole (I'm using the adapters) :shock: :shock: :shock: :evil: . Thank God I looked out of the window and noticed that the pool...

Hi, We took up the grass in the area where we are going to put up our intex 15x48 metal frame pool and there are a ton of rocks mixed into the soil. Do we have to remove them all...I mean there are A LOT!!!? What is the best way to do this? Also, we are going to be using a gorilla pad under...

The more I research this pool stuff the more I'm getting overwhelmed!! From everything I've read you can't/shouldn't run the pools filter and SWS off and extension cord. So, that means we need to run electrical out to the pool area. What are the requirements? I think I read that the outlet...

This is our first year putting up our pool and I was wondering what you do with the pool area when the pool is not up. We live in MA, so we'll only have the pool up from June-Sept. Do you just have a big dirt circle in your yard? I would like to do something so the area doesn't look like Crud...

Hi, I'm so clueless with all this pool stuff :oops: . I want to have everything that I need when we set up our 15x48 intex metal frame pool with the salt water system. I would like to make the pool as easy and low maintenance as possiable. Would the Intex 1600 gallon sand filter be good for...

Do I want to get something like this..http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R ... ogId=10053 How thick should it be? Thanks!

I've ordered my pool 15x48" metal frame pool and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to measure their pool and tell me how low the filter holes (in and out) are from the top of the pool. If I don't fill the pool all the way to the top do you think it will be loud/annoying if the return...

Hi This whole pool thing is totally new to me, so people forgive me for asking such a basic question :oops: ...how does the 1000gph filter work? Does it have a timer? Do I just plug it in when I want it to run? I'm planing on using it with the saltwater system, which I think has a timer...

Hi I was wondering if anyone knows what the minimum depth a 48" pool can be? I'm assuming that anything over the filter intake would be fine...is this true? Does anyone know the depth of the filter intake? I can actually buy the 48" pool for cheaper than the 42" pool, but I really want the...
