We have a SWG that doesn't seem to be working correctly as every morning our chlorine level is near 0, and I am adding liquid bleach to bring up the levels. I've cleanded out the swg cell but it still is flashing low salt (salt level is normal per strips). I asked the pool store about...

Thought I'd share a few pics of our little pool & the deck (mini-deck? landing?) Next year we plan to deck over the existing patio and have a much bigger area around the pool. My husband insisted the entire landing could not be level with the top frame of the pool b/c the deck blocks he used...

OK, dumb question...after using the Intex vacuum with hose attached to the sand filter, the pool is very clean. Then when I turn the filter back on a big cloud of dark dust/dirt/whatever is pushed back into the pool. I know I'm missing something here...do I need to backwash the filter? oh...

Hello! My daughter and I just used the TF-50 test kit and got our first batch of test results. The pool is 75% full. Filter and SWG are not running yet, they will be tonight. I wrote notes along with our test results so I'll add them here. We have "hard water" so I don't know if that makes...

Hi guys, I purchased an Intex Krystal Clear SWG for $169 for our 4500gal Intex Ultra Frame pool. I found the Intex SWG and Sand filter pump on Amazon for $269. Is it worth the extra money to purchase the combo? This is our first pool, we want it to be as easy and clean as possible (of...

Hi! We've never owned a pool before but we are going to purchase an Intex Ultra Frame pool. I'm wondering if there is a thread or link you can direct me to that shows step by step instructions, from leveling the ground to what needs to be purchased? Like literally a numbered shopping list of...
