Check your salt cell itself. Over time it will get a buildup of calcium I think it is. This will make the generator trigger the low salt alarm. If you do see a bunch of white scale on the cell, take it apart and soak it in water with some muriatic acid in it. The acid will eat the calcium...

Im here in texas and usually towards the middle of august they start marking down there pools. Two years ago I got the best deal ever at toysrus I go the 18' x 52" ultra with sand filter for 169 at toysrus. They had posted the wrong price for it and would only sell me 1, I wanted all 3 that...

Just had to empty and refill my 9000 gallon intex ultra. Long story. My question is setup chemicals. By pool calculator, I need 206 pounds of salt to hit 3000 ppm, 199oz of liquid stabilizer, 82 oz of bleach to get my CYA to 70, FC to 4 ppm. I just want to make sure before I buy these Thanks G

The threaded part of your return jet comes out. There should be slots inside it for a key to fit in to unscrew it, then i believe your plug will screw right in. like this one G

I have an intex 18' x 52" ultra frame. And I am not a lazy person, i just hate vacuuming. Does anyone have or know of an automatic cleaner that works for intex pools. I have heard the aquabug. But i am looking for personal reviews and experiences from everyone here. Thanks in advance Justin

I have the 18' x 52" ultra frame mine comes in just under 8000 gallons. The 3000gph is what about 150? I use a waterway 19 inch sand filter 1hp combo that works awesome, plus parts are available locally and people will work on em...

http://www.intexcorp.com/10745.html?You could order a gasket from intex that has the little ridge. or maybe run a bead of silicone around it? G

For 300 it is not worth it. I have the 18 ft x 52, but i got it for a steal at toysrus last year for 189 bucks. I would spend the 300 difference to get a nice pump/filter. Thats my 2 cents. Also the extra inches could make it more hazardous for the little ones. G

Last year we had the blue 15 foot and this year i put in the 18 ft ultra. The ultra is better is several ways. 1. the liner is thicker seems almost twice as thick. 2. the frame steel is heavier duty. 3. The frame is almost oval instead of round adding strength. 4. the feet for the legs are...

According to the link in your signature it shows a target FC of 5 for a cya of 70. Mine is currently about 40. So until I get all my cya powder dissolved 4 should be fine. G

Someone who knows more than me please answer. Do I need to up my FC? I am using a swg and I thought it used a lower FC level? G

This year i upgraded to the intex 18ft x 52 in ultra frame. So i made my hole bigger leveled it out and got her going. Its running on the intex sand 2400 gph sand filter and 15000 gallon salt water generator atm. However, my hayward skimmer is on the way. When it gets here ill put my...

I agree. I believe that i am going to go with a hayward aquatrol. (though he is useful for getting me this at wholesale cost :)) Also what would be a good upgraded pump/filter. I currently have a waterway 1hp with a 100lb sand filter. But i would like to get a 2 speed pump and bigger...

Thanks the link to the UV discussion was enlightening to sat the least, i had just mentioned it as my buddy who is a highly regarded high end pb mentioned it as a replacement for SWG (he was worried about rust on the agp frame) I will look up the reviews on the trol Thanks G

true number 3 is not a sanitizer, but supposedly you can run your pool witha .5 FC if you use the UV system? But out of 1 and 2, you think that a SWG is better? Anyone used the Aquatrol or have a better solution thanks G

Hi all, First, this will be for an agp but that shouldnt matter. The pool is about 9000 gallons and i am looking for a way to sanitize my pool and have come up with these options and was looking for some input from people that have used them. 1. inline SWG (probably hayward aquatrol) 2...

Debris will not be much of an issue i am just lazy :D. I will check amazon i was just wondering if anyone had a good or bad experience with a particular one. Does anyone know of a good inline chlorinator or SWG? I have not decided on salt or chlorine and have used both, just wanting to get...

I have just purchased a new 18 foot ultra frame pool and have a couple of questions. First, i have a waterway 1/2 hp pump with 100lb sand filter is this sufficient? As i do not want to use the sand filter that came with the pool. Second is putting gorilla mat under the pool worth it as i...

Naw the waterway uses standard size, i had it hard plummed on my old pool. So SWG would be a better option than an inline chlorinator?. Also I always struggle with PH. I live in texas so i have to add lots of water due to evaporation and my fill water has a PH close to 8. How can i naturally...

I recently scored an awesome deal at Toysrus (wrong sign :D) and got an intex 18 x 52 ultra for only 193!!! I am in the process of expanding my pad site to accomidate it as my old pool was a 15x48. I already have a...

I have an intex 15' x 48" pool. I have upgraded to a 1hp waterway 100lb sand filter combo. I have also changed the return to 1 1/2 in and will be adding a widemouth skimmer this year. Questions. 1. Should i put the skimmer where the old inlet was? Or should i put it further around the side...
