My pool was rather dirty due to a cover mishap over the winter and my water was nearly black. I have vacuumed till virtually no more debris is coming up and have put in my CYA /Muriatic acid to get the balance to a fair starting point and have been adding 2-3 gallons of fresh 10% liquid shock...

After a year of neglect due to family health issues we needed a new liner that was installed today. The pool is currently filling (well water) and I also bought a new Pump and filter and new pool steps so everything is new that will touch the water. I completely forgot to order refills for the...

At the end of last summer my pool got very swampy due to a variety of issues and wound up very scaled and rough below the water line. I ordered a new liner and scheduled installation for tomorrow. This past Tuesday I started pumping the pool down and stopped at around 2 inches due to the pump...

Looking to see if there is any type of average chlorine demand for a above groung pool. Mine seems to need 50-60 ounces per day Using 8.25 Fresh bleach CYA is 50-60 and that may be my inability to read the test just right PH is over 8.2 I added 18 ounces of MA last night and the reading did...

I have a 4 year old Diver Dave cleaner that I use with limited success in my old 18' Intex pool. We had the power to run him with the Waterway sand filter we had and I believe he would have been much better if the pool floor was flat and wrinkle free.(floor was a lumpy mess due to moist ground...

We have not bought the test kit yet but will order tomorrow TF kit. Are there any baseline things that we need to start off right. I know from past INTEX use that the PH will be sky high

The pool builder will be here tomorrow and I am excited and restless. After 7 years with INTEX we finally bought a hard sided pool. I stopped at Home Depot and bought all the PVC to plumb it up and will be putting the pipe in the ground since the filter will sit 7 feet away. New GFCI 20 amp...

We will soon have a 21' above ground installed and I want to be sure the plumbing plan I have is good. I bought 6 of these for $50 shipped to use throughout since they are a on/off valve plus union http://www.amazon.com/89653-Precision-Threaded-Female-Socket/dp/B0032JSQ6G My pump and filter is...

We will be putting up a 21' AGP soon and I know from the INTEX pools I have had before that my local (RURAL) water supply is well water. The PH was always very high and I need to know if there is any way to lower it when we fill the pool. The new pool will be approximately 11,000 gallons. Is...

Hi I have just purchased the pool in my signature and have a question about the site where it will be installed. The site has had 2 different INTEX 18' Ultra Frame pools over that last 7 years and the last one was just taken down 2 weeks ago. The ground seems to be very soft/damp in this area...
