It has a vacuum port for a manual vacuum, but no robot or anything automatic. Just the port I would plug the long hose into with the vacuum head on the end of a pole. I changed it to 3000 rpm from 8am - 10am, 2000 rpm from 10am - 4pm, and then 1400 rpm from 4pm - 8am. We'll see how it goes.

Hi folks, I'm new. We just moved into a rental with a 14k in-ground pool. It has a screened enclosure and we're in Florida. The pump/filter/salt-water chlorinator is all new when we moved in. It's a Pentair SuperFlo VST Variable Speed Pump using a Pentair Clean N Clear RP cartridge filter...

Just ordered. I hope it's the right one. The picture on Target website is slightly different than the pictures on intex website and other places on the internet. The connectors on the "tube" behind the control box are different. Anyone know what that's about?

i leveled out a 20' circle and i have a good foot on each side still. I used a 10' long 2x6 staked in the middle to level the 20' circle. Worked out great!

Yes, you will need to drain & fill some again to lower the cya level. How did you get 100? Did you test with 50% pool/50% tap water then double the results? The test kits only go up to 100, so if you are at 200 it will still only show 100. Use the 50/50 then double method to see where it's...

Re: Need help with startup of new pool..... Get your cya up, add chlorine to corresponding cya level and swim! :)

Nothing on my Intex Ultra Frame, no problems.

brush and shop vac until it's as clean as you can get it when dry.....then add a bit of water and brush/drain as best you can. Then fill with water, add chlorine/CYA and enjoy!

I also have never shocked my pool since I set it up a couple months ago.

Leaf litter will more than likely clog the"grate" of the opening going into the pump. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

Re: Intex Ultra, sytrofoam underlay-How do we put legs on Pa I have my 18'x52" Ultra frame on the 3/4" foam without pavers and it's fine so far. If you really want the pavers (i do recommend it, we were just too lazy), assembly the top ring and place the pavers where the vertical supports will...

wow, it already looks SIGNIFICANTLY better!

I would shock the pool with liquid chlorine/bleach and get the algae under control before worrying about the swg. You'll never know is it's working right if the pool needs to be shocked. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

Let's see some "before" pics!

Yep, all the rain and clouds from Beryl dropped our pool temp from 89 to 83.

Why don't you extend the slab to the size of the pool? Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

Re: AGP on artificial grass but it's about 1-2 inches unleve The top of the pool and the bottom of the pool need to be equally leveled, otherwise there will be strain on the top supports on one side and eventually the liner will fail. It would be stretched more on one side. You're probably...

only if it's touching the liner....the pavers go under the vertical pole feet, not under the liner.

I recently put up the same pool and used the same foam along with a heavy duty tarp and we couldn't be happier. We are in Florida, so the ground is sand already. We didn't put down any base rock. Just cleared off the sod/grass, leveled a 20' circle, laid down the 4'x8'x3/4" foam boards with...

Only problem i see is that the blocks the legs are on should be level with the ground/bottom of the pool. Otherwise you are over stretching the liner and eventually it will break. Other than that, looks like a good project!

It's been mid 80's here in central florida, pool has been holding steady at 79-81 depending on time of day.

What is the down side of foam that absorbs water being used underneath an above ground pool? Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

It's spendy, $13 per sheet here. Home Depot and Lowes had it but Lowes was $15 per sheet.

You would either need to place the supports on the foam or better yet, cut out the foam where the supports are and add brick/concrete pavers. I didn't use pavers under mine and have the pool and legs sitting right on the foam. The foam under the legs is only slightly pressed in. I imagine the...

Re: Intex 18'x52 FYI....the 18'x52" Intex Ultra Frame pool does NOT need to be cut for the Intex 2500GPH (633) fittings to work. :) Just in case someone else in the future is wondering and does a search.

Just put my 18' x 52" Ultra Frame yesterday (it's about 1/3 full so far) and followed mccoonan's instructions...leveled with 2x10 w/6 ft level taped to it, used this (http://www.homedepot.com/Building-Mater ... reId=10051) 3/4" rigid foam for the entire bottom, then covered with a heavy duty...

all that work and I would have been tempted to put in an in-ground pool instead.

Re: Intex 18'x52 I had a 2500 gph Intex on an 18' x 48" Metal Frame pool for quite a while and it worked just fine. I bought the pool used though, so I'm not sure if the original owner had to cut it or not. This one only cost me $94, and since it worked for me before, I'm going to give it a...

Re: Intex 18'x52 Me too, which is why i have my fingers crossed that I won't have to do any cutting for it all to fit. I was going to get the pool that included the pump on Amazon for $679 plus $250 shipping, but instead I spent $800 to buy the pool at target.com and the pump separate on...

Re: Intex 18'x52 that's well and good, but I'm not upgrading to the Intex sand filter. Has anyone with the 18'x52" Ultra Frame upgraded to the 2500gph pump? Did you have to cut?
