Hey all, Well after replacing the shaft bearings on my sand pump a few weeks ago, it started getting crappy loud again (but different sound) until it shut off on me today 30 mins into a cycle. After popping the cover off again and checking shaft is freely rotating (it is) I tried to start it...

Well, bone head move on my part has caused a disaster it would seem, but now I need some help. When I tore down my old pool 2 years ago, the dog got hold of the power cord for my pump and chewed it off halfway. Well we now got another pool and I ended up wiring in a new cord to the pump to get...

Great site you have here. I started this fight on Saturday and the final photo is Thursday evening. I did just get in a 2650gph sand filter so this helped out a bunch. My levels are good now and I think we are done. Thanks to this site and all the folks who...

Hey all, I have an Intex 2500 gph pump that is giving me some problems as of late. When the pump starts it seems to be bound up for anywhere 10 seconds to almost a minute before it starts up. During this time it just hums loudly. Has anyone here had the same problems? I am wondering about...

Sorry if this has been covered. I searched a few times and could not locate any information on this subject. I am wondering if there are any tips on using this pump and filter combo to also vacuume to waste? I have a HUGE amount of fine dirt all over the bottom of my pool from all the high...

Guess I might be cheating. I live in deep south Texas so we only got below freezing a handfull of times and had one 1/2" ice storm 2 weeks ago. I drug the solar cover off my pool and was pretty happy. BBB kept it nice through the down time. I would add 2 cups of bleach maybe every 3 to 4...

I have searched around for a few days and cant seem to find what I saw before. I have the Intex skimmer on my pool, and I swear I saw someone say they removed the little "flower" in the bottom of the unit and it increased flow. I have been wondering if anybody else has done this, and if it does...

:shock: Ok. I am a bit in panic mode here. We have a possible hurricane coming through in 2 or so days. I would love any advice on what to expect from a 15' intex frame pool during the storm. Mine is not completely level. It is about 1 1/2 off, but it was the best I could get. I am worried...

Ok corny I know, but I need to know! I have a 15' metal frame intex here in the southern tip of Texas. The pool gets full sun all day. I am wondering about covering it when not in use. I only have the 6 way walmart kit for this season, and the endless wisdom of this site to go with for a while...
