    Intex on rock?

    Can an Intex ultra frame be set up on pea gravel? (Like the stuff in the pic I think - rounded, not sharp) We’re going to be renting and it looks like the only flat place to set up a pool would be the gravel play area. They’re small round pebble- like rocks. Similar to the pic here if I recall...

    "opening" the Intex - slimy leafy mess!

    What is the quickest, easiest, least expensive and most effective way to clean this now that I've drained it? I'm dreading this part - but mostly because I'm not sure where to start...

    Pro Series and Intex Liner Interchangeable?

    My Intex Ultra Frame liner got torn up and in replacing it I've ended up with a Pro Series liner by mistake. Before I take it out of the box and lower my chances of re-selling it, can anyone tell me for sure if the Pro Series liner will fit the Ultra Frame poles and T-fittings? The assorted...

    My Great Pool Debacle

    I'm so sad and frustrated and disappointed - I think this is a place I can cry and people will understand my pain. waaah Long story - somewhat shortened: Rescued a dog. He was a doofus. Tore the white binding strap thingy on my intex ultra frame before we could find a home for him. Liner...

    Deck Alternative

    I've found I need a place to put things while I'm in the pool and I'm not ready to invest in a deck build since we are wanting to move next year. Wondering if any of you may have a workable alternative - a stand that can be next to the pool where I can lay my phones and schedule book and a...

    New to sand filter - tried everything I know

    My skimmer doesn't seem to be pulling in with much strength. There is flow back into the pool so I know it's working some, but not like I've seen it capable of doing. When I switch the lever to recirculate it pulls really strong. I've checked all the hoses, burped the air out, backwashed the...

    SWG/Sand Filter combo questions

    Just switching from a SWG with cartridge filter pump combo unit to a new SWG and separate Sand Filtration system - have a couple questions: 1) Is there not a skimmer basket set up with this system that sits in the pool? Does the basket inside the filtration system serve that purpose now? 2)...

    Connecting new sand filter with new SWG Intex

    We're just putting the pool up on the fly for the kids so please excuse the lack of "curb appeal"! :? After running the backwash and rinse I turned on the filter and realized that the port going back into the pool is suctioning (very weakly at that!) and the port that's supposed to be drawing...

    replacing swg system

    I've been trying to search the forum but I'm evidently not putting in the right queries to find the info I'm needing - so I apologize in advance if this is redundant! (feel free to redirect me) I have an Intex 16' Ultraframe with SWG. I'm setting about to buy a new filtration system for it...

    Having to Drain

    I *just* got my 16'x48' Ultra Frame Intex pool set up and ready for the next step - was planning to run the filter tonight. Came home from being gone a couple hours tonight to find that some neighborhood kids had unplugged and begun to drain the pool while we were gone. It sunk a few inches...
