    Re: Intex metal frame pool rusting t joints, legs. Need advi Yes that is correct Mike. It's a disaster for sure. Makes me sad and no, sadly intex won't do a thing! I am very mad that they won't. What kind of ground issue would cause this? It will probably last until the end of summer by...

    Intex metal frame pool rusting t joints, legs. Need advice.

    Re: Intex metal frame pool rusting t joints, legs. Need advi The posts seem to be pretty sturdy. The pool doesn't move unless I jerk it myself, even if someone was to lean against the pool it won't move. The poles are just ugly to me. I took a look at the kee klamps and they look like they...

    Re: Intex metal frame pool rusting t joints, legs. Need advi Here are more photos. After looking at this, you tell me if ACF-50 will save this until the fall lol. I don't think the pool will fall with tons of water in it but this isn't a pretty site. :(

    Intex metal frame pool rusting t joints, legs. Need advice.

    Re: Intex metal frame pool rusting t joints, legs. Need advi I think that the rain might have done it and the salt probably had something to do with it too. I know a lot of people though that have the SWG and still doesn't rust. It was only taken apart once, and that was before we even got the...

    Question about a SWG.

    Thanks, the pool is looking nice, Crystal clear. I have one more question. When I check the filter, am I supposed to let the water out of the pump after cleaning the filter or can the water stay in the pump? Sometimes the water is pretty clean mostly. Just wondering! Thanks.
