    Do we have to start over?!

    Yeah, I agree with Texas Splash above - start over. And you may not be happy or agree with my recommendations below or the cost estimates setting up and owning this size pool, but it's been very effective for me, and I just pulled this info from a bunch of other sources that I found when i was...

    Intex pool- corners locked and not moving

    you should be able to just pull the corners out, even if you have to give it a serious tug or get a rubber mallet out. sometimes that happens when you are first filling and the long side frame starts to finally bend outward and you didn't pull the frame legs out all the way as you were filling...

    Sand filter spitting dirt out

    How dirty was the pool when you started that you need to backwash so much (any pics)? What type of media did you add to your sand filter (do you have a pic of the bag that you poured in there)? When you added the sand did you use the sand shield that prevents the sand from getting inside the...

    Other Intex XTR Owners…Liner Help/Opinion?

    I helped set one of these up a few weeks ago and I think it really depends on how level the ground is underneath and what you have under the liner, along with how level the frame posts are. The person I helped had it installed incorrectly the previous years, and the persons helping setup...

    Black Flakes in Hot Tub

    It's paint from inside the heat exchanger that is flaking off while hot and being pumped out into the hot tub. I just took mine apart for this reason and I am refurbishing it this weekend by removing the paint, priming with high temp primer and paint (up to 2000F). If it works out, I can post...

    Intex pure spa circuit board fix

    Kind of a separate issue, but I just took my Intex PureSpa Greywood SB-HW10 control unit apart due to the black specs of paint flaking off from the inside of the 4 chamber heat exchanger. It looks like your heater wafer material dissolved from prolonged use? Maybe the heater element is...

    Installation- Intex Above Ground

    The setup took waaaay longer than I thought it would, mostly due to the amount of rain we had here - it rained almost everyday and weekend it seemed like for a month. I believe we are at the 4th most rainfall on record. Then the heat was brutal! So, i just decided to take my time and get it...

    Plastic Hooks

    Does anyone use any type of plastic hooks to hang stuff on the side of the pool such as the solar cover or anything like that?

    Installation- Intex Above Ground

    i finished my install and filled the pool last Sunday. I purchased the 3/4 inch 4x8 insulation panels from Lowes (cause i get the veteran discount), but then I went the extra mile and purchased enough of the black Everyday Essentials 1/2" Thick Flooring Puzzle Exercise Mat with High Quality EVA...

    Muddy Mess - Intex 32ft x 16ft x 4.3ft rectagular 1st pool area leveling fun

    i bought 16 of the 3/4 inch 4x8 insulation boards and then also bought 1/2" interconnecting pads from walmart (on sale) to cover the entire 512 sq ft area. I guess I'm struggling with what to do now with all of this water standing here. Even if I level it out perfectly, there would be a ton of...

    Muddy Mess - Intex 32ft x 16ft x 4.3ft rectagular 1st pool area leveling fun

    Rented a mini skidsteer to level the area in the yard - was originally going for 40'x24' area for 32'x16' above ground intex rectangle pool, but ended up with 35'x20' due to bad weather and rental time. Will this be enough space? Like a lot of others, it's been raining a LOT and this weekend...

    Above ground pool flooring pad

    There's a YouTube poster that showed they bought home insulation board 4'×8' at $22 each for the 1.25 ich thick ones, duct taped them together, and placed them under his pool (covered by plastic and tarp) which made it very comfortable to walk on. He gave a 3 or 4 year update on it too - was an...
