I pushed the power toggle on my Intex 2,650-Gallon Sand Filter Pump yesterday and the pump came on, but when I removed my finger the pump went off. Today I am getting nothing no matter if I push it in the direction of the timer or to stay on. I purchased it in February 2013. Is this something...

Thank you! I was told I could use pool paint, so I didn't know which one I should use or if there was a better idea.

Hi! I'm not sure if I should've put this in the "Everything Else" forum, but it' for my AGP so here goes. I almost have the framing done for a small 4x8 deck on the side of the pool. I wasn't too worried about a deck, but the ladder is rusting all over. A 4x8 piece of plywood will be the top...

Great idea. Thank you!

OK, the setup isn't the problem. I opened the skimmer and noticed that even with a high level of water in the pool there wasn't a huge amount in the skimmer itself so I looked at it more closely. It does not sit level. I held it down on the side away from the pool to allow more water to fill...

I now have only a hose clamped to the skimmer which goes to my pump. It is still doing the same thing. I took a short video to show you what is happening, but I can't upload anything else. I don't know how to delete the pics I have so I have room to upload this. Anyway, I can see through the...

I can't get this thing to work! I didn't find a barbed fitting with the items with the skimmer. Is there a picture on the site that you can direct me to so I can see what my finished product should look like and go from there? thanks.

Well, I had to leave for church and it got dark on me, so I will check out all that you all said tomorrow after work. I can't thank you enough. I will be sure to post after replacing the twist valve with the hose and clamp and anticipating good news! I appreciate you guys so much!

Thanks. I didn't remember it was in there...plus, I didn't know what it was! Thanks for clarifying. That would definitely make a difference. See, never listen to others, come straight here!! I went out and cannot find anything wrong!! This is when I want to say I don't know enough to do...

I removed this thing from the skimmer. I was told it goes above the basket, but when I removed it, the water shoots out of the return into the pool at first as it did before. Then it comes in like a garden hose turned way down. At least coming into the pool now instead of nothing, but it not...

Thanks on the positive on the adapters. I figured somebody would think I was nuts, but it was what I had on hand. I did make sure the valve was open and bled the air and got the water level up. When I first turn on the pump, the return shoots water into the pool, but only one quick burst then...

Hello, Well, I got brave and finally installed the wide mouth skimmer yesterday. It came with a diagram, but no real instructions as far as I'm concerned, so I did the best I could. I am including pictures to help you visualize what I am talking about. Well, I've never attached pics before...

Yep, covered until last week since about November.

Thanks!

I just tested today...my ch in this area is always high, so I didn't test that, but... FC 12.5 CC 2 CYA 80 ph 7.5 salt 2640 I need to shock don't I? BTW, I know that FC is too high. I messed up last weekend when I was getting the pool cleaned out and ready. Never do that when you're not...

Thank you.

Re: I think I know what you're going to say, but test for FC thanks.

I have been using the Taylor TF-100 test kit from TFTestkits.net. I always use the R870 and R871 for testing my levels. Well, I am almost out of the 870 and 871 besides we're starting a new summer season. I just found out we now have a Leslie's Pool Supplies, but they only carry what he calls...

Great...thank you. I didn't see one, and you're right, I am leaking. Is this something I can just pick up somewhere and it will fit?

Perfect. Thank you. I misunderstood. I thought he was saying it was too low. Thanks again.

Oh, and my pool is above ground. Is this still low pressure?

Thank you and yes, this is the first time with this set up. I don't know if the water is flowing really well yet as it got dark before I finished and the lighting isn't great. I guess I'll know more in the morning.

It looks like it's just above the 10, so I'll call it 11.

Is it normal for the Intex 2,650-Gallon Sand Filter Pump to run at the top of the green on the gauge. I guess I'm just very nervous reading this is a high pressure pump and could cause damage and death. I know they have to put these things in the manuals to protect themselves, but am I really...
