Ahhh! ok. Thank you so much. I was a bit confused about that. You help me a lot:D

Thank you Charlie_R. I am not even sure what the size is. We bought the pool used last year and are using the hoses that came with it. The wal-mart web site states that this particular skimmer comes with an adapter for both of the sizes you mentioned. For some reason, I had it in my head that...

hey everybody. I am thinking of purchasing a heritage standard thru the wall skimmer from wal-mart. Does anyone know if I will need an adapter to connect the skimmer to the intex hose? And if so, does anyone have a better way to do this than to purchase an adapter? I am not going to hard...

Does anyone have a suggestion on adding swivel connections to my stingray automatic pool vacuum hose? The hose is getting wrapped around itself.

Yes. The problem was that the swg was actually not working even though it indicated it was. Once I leveled it, it started working correctly. I guess the flow was not good enough even though it did not tell me low flow. Anyway, problem solved for now I think.

I bought a used 18x52 ultra frame intex pool and swg. Set up about 2 weeks ago. Everything seemed to be working fine until Sunday. I set the swg to run for 4 hours. Green light came on that it was working. When I checked in on Monday, it was till sitting on 4 hours with the green light...

I have a question about my intex SWG system. I cannot seem to figure out how to start a new topic. Someone please help.

Cleaned and lubed pump basket lid and gasket. Seems to have helped just a little. Still have the air though. Now to check gasket to the in flow to the pump, I will have to take the pump apart correct? Also, are there any other suggestions? :?

Thanks. I will try it and post results tomorrow

I have not tried that. What should I clean it with? And are you talking about the lubing the gasket on the pump basket lid?

Tried the water test. When I ran water over the pump basket, the air got a little worse?? It pretty much stayed the same when I ran it over the plumbing. And the air is still only coming from the shallow return. Its all really confusing to me. HELP

I am fairly new here myself. It seems to me by reading your posts that you need to read pool school carefully. I read, read, and read somemore before I started the process. It really is wonderful if you follow the guidelines. I have had my pool for 22 years and been doing it wrong until this...

Thank you Bama Rambler. I will try that this afternoon after work.

I am still having problems with air in my line. It is really bad when I have the main drain on. The air is only coming out of the shallow end return line. Everything seems to be working fine except for the air in the line. There are bubbles in my pump basket. A lot of them, but pressure...

Hope everyone out there is having a great summer. I have replaced belts and ball bearings on my polaris 380 and have lost one of my e-clips. Hardware store should have them, but does anyone know the size? Might make for a faster trip if I know. Thanks all :wave:

Tried the drain king. not enough pressure i guess. Could see water moving around, but nothing came out. Is it possible to remove the drain cover, clean it, then replace it? I do not want to damage my liner.

Can you give me a little more detailed information please? I don't understand how this works. :wave:

I have turned it off and brushed and brushed and brushed. But I will try the dive technique you suggested to see if I can adjust my ears.

I always thought I should run both main drain and skimmer for the best circulation. I have brushed a lot of it away, but theres some that's just stuck. Do I really not need to pull from the main drain for just normal filtering?

I have recently started the BBB method about a month or so ago. Had a swamp. Now I have a sparkling beautiful pool thanks to everyone on here. :whoot: My problem is I have some trash, leaves, etc. clogging up my main drain. Turned it off, sent my nephew down to see what he could do. Hurt...

Can I also use citric acid or crushed up vitamin C tablets? Do you have any idea which would be cheaper?

I only have stains on my steps and return lines. My liner is stain free. Did the vitamin C test on my step. Cleaned it right up. My question is: Is there something I can get just to directly clean my steps and returns instead of having to put asorbic acid in my pool and wait?

I'm thinking I need to post this question somewhere else. But I don't really know where. First of all, thanks to all for the help in getting my pool beautifully clear. I am still having a few problems with my Polaris not running properly, but I've ordered some swivels since 2 of mine leak. My...

Read pool school. Stop using shock and use the bbb system. It is great!!

kit is talylor k-1005. started the shock process about an hour ago. I was doing my first FC check and realized my kit does not read above 5. I needed to shock to 10. Any suggestions?

I could not decide whether or not to start a new post. I have a question about my polaris 360 bag. It has a very small tear in it. Does anybody have any suggestions on repairing the bag until I can purchase a new one?

That sounds good to me. I was just thinking I read several posts a while back to use glue on the bottom side of it. I would rather not if it doesnt cause any issues. Thanks

I have another quick question. When I put my new spider gasket on, what type glue do I need to use?

I would recommend vacumming to waste

Thank you. I knew I didnt see anything anywhere about it. But I am curious as to why it is not recommended. Does it change to balance of things? I know now that I was only fixing the problem temporarily by doing it. Just wondering why
