    SWG VS CHEMICALS - COLMAN 22’ x 52” Intex Sand Filtrr

    Debate here on if we should go SWG. Living with my sister temporarily. And we will be putting up this new pool. She was talking to a guy at work who has same pool with a salt water system and said he never has to do anything. My experience having had the Inex metal frame pools is with using...

    Will Solar Cover While Filling Speed Warming? (Intex 22 X 52)

    Oh boy! We got a late start this year, got our old (First year 2008) 24 X 52 Intex Metal Frame up, got water approx 7 inches and discovered a leak at the seam around the bottom.

    Vacumming With Intex Sand Filter

    Pool is Intex Metal Frame 24' X 48". Last year we finally got the Intex Sand Filter to replace the Crud that comes with it. The vac is the one that has the little mesh bag inside the cup that you have to place inside the skimmer housing on the inside of the pool. Question: Is it safe to hook...

    4th Year With Intex 24' by 4ft Deep - 3-4 inches Unlevel

    This is our fourth season with our 24' Intex metal frame pool. It has never sat perfectly level and has been fine. The whole yard slopes, so when we made our pool spot, we chose the most level part, and dug out a low side while building up another side...it's always worked fine. I'd say in the...
