    Clorox platinum meltdown cartridge filters

    Anybody try these? They come in sizes for all different cartridge filter pumps including intex. Filtration down to 3-5 micron. Was thinking of relaxing my intex filters with these https://www.cloroxpoolfilters.com/general-6

    Intex swg boost mode added too much chlorine

    So I just set my 15000 gal max intex swg up. I put it on boost mode overnight. It added too much chlorine. Should I just leave it off until the levels come down to normal? It’s currently @ 12ppm and my cya is about 70ppm. I bought the over sized swg that’s good up to 15000gal, my pool is only...

    Fresh fill and water has green tint

    Just filled up my above ground pool. Not new to pool maintence but this is the first time I’ve filled up fresh water and it has a green tint to it. I’m guessing it’s some sort of metal in the tap water? I live in New York and we just had that nasty Canadian fire smoke in the air, could that had...

    Anyone use a solaxx saltron saltwater system?

    I am looking to convert to saltwater on my 15x48" intex ultra frame. I don't want the intex system. I like how the solaxx operates independent from the filter pump. Anyone using it, how do you like it and how reliable has it been?

    Intex saltwater generator

    Looking at picking one up. I've got a bestway 15'x36" pool with an intex 1000gph filter. Had this same set up last summer and it worked fine no problems. I was looking at picking up the SWG. They're fairly cheap. I was wondering what else is needed to hook it up like any needed...

    Filter pump recommendations for bestway 15'x36" steel pro

    I had an intex 1000 pump that just recently stopped working. I'm currently using the 530 pump that came with the pool kit. I want something better but don't want to spend a lot. I was looking at the intex 1500 but wasn't sure if i'd need adapter fittings and larger hoses? My pool has 2 inlets...

    Pool recently became cloudy and murky??

    This seemed too happen out of no where. It's been clear for months and now all of a sudden it's cloudy and murky. I check the chlorine levels everyday and add as needed. I always keep it at the higher end of the recommended rand. I use bleach. There was a weird film on the bottom around the...

    Question on CC test for TF-100

    After you do the FC test and you add the 5 drops of r0003 it says if it returns to pink if you have cc's. My question is, the 'pink' they refer to is it the dark pink like when you first add the powder or any shade of pink? Reason I ask, is sometimes after adding the r0003 it goes to a very...

    New guy- Pool eating up bleach

    Hi, new member here. So wife and I picked up a bestway pool for our daughter. Its 12' circle and 30" deep, says about 1400 gallons @ 80% capacity. It came with a filter kit. It's been setup for about a month now. I found this site and started following a bleach & borax method. The water is clear...
