Short story to begin with. Bought an intex pool (in signature), immediately bought the 14" sand filter to go with it, along with the salt water generator. After about 10 months the pump failed, intex sent me a new pump under warranty. About 2 months later the salt water generator failed, intex...

I'm slowly but surely coming to the conclusion that I want an inground pool, but it seems like the more threads/builds I read the more questions I have. So I figure I'll start a thread to ask questions on as they come up. Just a recap of what I've picked up so far. 2" pvc is prefered In-floor...

I see all these threads showing amazing inground pools but I have no clue how much they cost and i'm curious... I've used a couple online pool cost calculators but they really don't go into detail or show what kind of pool you will get. Is there a thread/area on this forum where people post...

I've been trying to keep my ph at 7.2, due to my high TA (>200), to try and prevent scaling of the SWG plates. To do this I have been adding acid every day or every other day to drop it from around 7.5. My question is since I am going out of town for a few days would it be harmful to drop it to...

I have an intex 18'x48" ultra frame pool. I'm kinda confused about what adapter, hose and vacuum head I need/should get. I want to be able to hook it up to the intake port as I don't like vacuuming to waste or using the cheapo vacuum that came with it. If someone would please point me in the...

Don't have a picture to point them out and its hard to describe but I'm talking about how the liner is lower at the T-joint by each leg. Has anyone attempted to cover them with tape or other methods to prevent the water from just spilling out?

If I am trying to lower my TA is there any difference is adding MA at 7.5 to get to 7.2 or waiting until 7.8 to get to 7.2? Like does several small additions reduce TA the same as one big addition but not as often? (may have been answered before, I tried to search.)

Finally got the pool filled, pump running, and a full set of test results. Anything I should keep an eye on or start worrying about? FC: .5 at sunset (added bleach per pool calculator, circulated, and rested. Now 4ppm) CC: .0 PH: 7.2 TA: 300 (I tested using 10ml sample so 25ppm per drop and...

I keep hearing that SWG will cause Ph to drift up over time. How fast is "over time"? I know it depends on borates (assume 0) and TA (currently 113), I also know it varies with every pool but are we talking .5ph a week or more or less...

I've spent the last week or so leveling, leveling, and leveling some more. I have a load of masonry sand coming this week to do the final layer but I can't stop worrying about the pool sinking on one side or being unlevel. I could have sworn I seen a thread around here that showed an above...

Should have the pool in the next 1-2 weeks and I am trying to get a list of what I am going to need to get it all started so I don't have to drive ~30 miles back to the store to get a chemical. I am going to be using a SWG so I know I will need salt (160lbs) for my size pool. I was wondering if...
