Anyone with Intex use a storage unit to "hide" your pump/swg/etc.? If so what size and brand?

Well our old Ultra Frame lasted 4 seasons and it's got to go. Legs were rusted by the plastic pads and the liner was not to be repaired anymore. I think we got our money out of it:) Just went and picked up the new "style/color Ultra Frame. (2) intake ports will be nice and I actually like...

Yeah always turn off. Water level only drop when in filter mode

Intex 2650 sand filter,back washed for first initial setup for the year. Rinse the back onto filter and noticed the water level in the sight glass or sediment window lowered to about half. Checked the intake valve and all good, doesn't seem to be air trapped in system. Could the sand filter be...

Are the plastic buttons stuck? I always have to be aware of the angle when pulling on the t-joints and supports. Have to be almost perfectly level when pulling on them especially if there is rust.

whats on the end of the hose coming from the solar heater?

Thx been brushing twice a day it looks clear this morning! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Still holding at 24 and pool is clearer. Slight milky white but the end is near! Just when it is starting to get warm! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

2-3 hours went from 40ppm to 22ppm! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I got it at 8.25 Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Even with 6600 shock of 24 is 329oz. I'm at 40ppm according to test. I'll wait 1 hour and retest Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

If 40ppm is true do I just wait longer for the chlorine to attack the algae? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Calc says 7600 gallons Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Breaker popped while on vacation, assume cause of storm. Swg and pump shutoff for 3 days. Thought my levels should have sustained that long but oh well green algae now. Calc says fc should be 5 target 7 and shock 24. My cya is 60 ph 7.9. In order to shock to 24 I'm supposed to add 379 Oz of...

9 feet high jumping into 4 feet of water!? Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen to me. I sure wouldn't let my kids do it. I barely let them jump off the ladder of my pool.

something obstructing the flow? What side do you have your gasket on?

Just FYI I believe the operating manual for the SWG says to have your pump run 2 hours longer than your SWG. I just opened my pool and here is what I do. Fill pool, take initial tests (testing tap water) plug in test results in TFP calculator. Add bleach, cya and verify you have your chlorine...

Just a FYI for all the Intex owners who are attempting to patch a hole in the liner. If filling initially for the season, fill just enough to cover the bottom, then check for leaks, helps if the ground cover is completely dry. Find leak, circle leak with sharpie pen, lay on ground and use your...

Today 4/21/15 in Wisconsin it started to snow.....

I actually used a air conditioner cement pad that I found when I replaced my older air conditioner. It is the perfect dimension for the filter, I have my SWG on some patio pavers next to the air con block. I don't know if you can get those air con pads at like Menards or Home Depot? Or just...

After the winter we had in WI here it sure is nice to see the forums lighting up again! I can tell the season is coming by watching the increase in posts on this forum. Just wanted to share my appreciation for all of the information and gracious people on this forum which helped my create my...

Plate compactor is the only way to go in this situation. I would still be hesitant about trying to compact that dirt. Undisturbed soil is what is recommended, just imagine how much pressure was put on that undisturbed soil over the ages, that is why they want you to do it that way. Use...

Hello fellow Wisconsonite! My initial ground cover tarp that came with the pool got trashed so I went and purchased a heavy duty tarp from Menards. We folded the corners in to essentially create a circle with the tarp, that way it was hidden from plain site. We used landscaping staples to...

Broke a shovel handle while trying to remove a tree root. Handle snapped right back into my knee cap/shin. Neighbors thought it was pretty funny watching my crying like a baby limping back to my house. Oh the things we do for our pools:)

I dumped my salt water into my grass and it did not kill it

I would definitely say that this is thinking "inside" the box:)

Obviously with the weird weather this year you are going to get some random temperatures from everyone. I have thought about heating the pool with a heater but I can't justify the cost right now for maybe 3 months. Like I said with full sun and the temps we have been having in WI I haven't...

Here in WI with solar cover all the time and pool in sun almost all day my average temp is 83-86 degrees, and that is with 50+ degree nights.

In Wisconsin, I haven't dipped below 80 it seems this whole season. When sun it out pool get full sun all day long. Keep solar cover on daily and I average right around 82-86 degrees daily with sun. It kinda stinks that lately we don't want to get out of the pool cause the air temp is cooler...
