So I have a coworker who complains about his green pool and how he's been working on it pretty much for at least 5 weeks now. He keeps telling me it is clear but just cloudy. I saw it when I rode past yesterday on the bike trail above his house. It's not cloudy, it's definitely green. He keeps...

Hey all, I just have some inquiries about testing when it's cold. The story is as follows. Perfect water all summer last year, never did a thing to it after firing up the Intex SWG. When water temp dropped below 60° (below 50° actually, I believe) I took it to shock level for 80 ppm CYA...

Now this is my kind of off-topic forum, outdoor food! Here's my contribution, which I admit, I got from Alton Brown on the Food Network website.... 1/2 cup olive oil 1/3 cup soy sauce 4 scallions, washed and cut in 1/2 2 large cloves garlic 1/4 cup lime juice 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1/2...

Haven't even been able to get in the pool to enjoy it and it's broke already :grrrr: Intex 633T 2500 gph pump. Fired it up on Tuesday and ran it 24 hrs Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday, switched it to the timer function for 12 hours. Starts 7am and stops 7pm. Saturday I look outside when...

Hi again folks. Everything is doing fantastic thanks to all you folks. Quick recap is, finally filled up with water on Tuesday morning. Added salt, started SWG on Wednesday, running pump from 7a to 7p, Intex SWG running from noon for 4 hours (no % setting.) Thus far, every time I test...

I have water level to finally run the filter without air getting into the system. Current water level nets me 8500 gallons (22' x 3' deep.) We will eventually add more water and I will have to adjust chemicals, but for now, 3 feet deep is good for the 8 year old. I added 240 pounds of salt...

This was Tuesday, my little one helping Dad. Finally after a week and 3 days, the area is dug.... Wednesday was a trip after work to the store. No pool work being done at the house when you have a 2 hour round trip commute just to get milk and bread.... Pool arrived yesterday, took the day...

Still digging and waiting for pool to arrive, so just trying to read and gather as much info as I can before the pool is ready to start up.... I have the common model Intex that I usually see listed, CS8110? It's the one with the copper ionizer (I will disconnect.) One thing I can't find is...

Hi all, I'm here with my first real questions.... Background info, we have always had an Intex pool, starting with a small blowup ring and upgrading every year or so as the kids got older. We just removed and gave away the 12'x36" that we had for 3 years. I chlorinated usually with a package...

Hi folks. Just joined here. We have been upgrading in depth our pools over the years as the kids grow older. We are in the market for a full depth pool now, just looking for a round ultra frame Intex. Here is my dilemma as I'm not sure which way would be better to go. I can get an 18' x 52"...
