    Pentair Intellicenter Lights and Alternate Compatibles?

    Thank you guys for the info. Will let you know. I know some would be concerned about water, but with them being IP65 or 67 and not being in the water, he’ll above the water by 3.5 to 4 feet, I would think I would be good?

    Pentair Intellicenter Lights and Alternate Compatibles?

    My builder put in an underwater 1.5" Intellicenter Multi Color programmable LED Light above the water line, above our head on the roof of the grotto. I asked him to do this, at and angle, sublimated so it would shine on the waterfall. He did without reading the manual and now the light burns...

    Want a wide mouth skimmer

    You guys mentioned, and I have heard of this before of cutting the gasket. No where in the instructions does it talk about this - Unfortunately, the picture above is not showing. Are you talking about the gasket that is sort of shaped like a V if you opened it up, you are slicing on the...

    Need pump, filter, skimmer and cleaner advice.

    Yeah, I want a pump big enough to run a cleaner...if I go with a pressure side cleaner (which I think I'd rather do in order to save the filter?) do I need a separate pump anyway (or maybe just use my existing intex pump...if it's big enough), or should I just go with a bigger pump for the...

    Need pump, filter, skimmer and cleaner advice.

    We have an 22'x52" round, Intex pool with the pump (Krystal Clear 633T, 2500GPH) and filter (Type B cartridge) that came with it that we purchased and enjoyed last summer. My wife (the primary pool cleaner) is ready to add a dedicated - but not too pricey - pool cleaner, upgrade the filter...

    Hello - New to the Forum

    Ok, so a couple of weeks of running and we were running into a cloudiness issue, just cloudy. water feels good, though the cartridge filter (b type) are filling up and the output is very low. We clean the cartridge and it goes great for about 2-4 hours. The numbers from the test kit...

    Intex mounted skimmer basket

    I actually purchased that skimmer, and I thought it was a heck of a good deal for 14.95$. Since my pool does not have all the water it could in I, so it is not too tall for my son, I had to modify the skimmer with some of the extra parts that came with it to have it sit farther down in the...

    Thanks for the note on the CYA! As for the ladder, did you have to put sand it in ? I worry about them jacking up the bottom of the liner....

    Re: Hello - New to the Forum & Stairs question Yeah man I bought some magic erasers the other day and hit them up today before I read your post! Wow! Pool looks awesome. So I am going to do some CYA and also set the levels up. One question, how long before the kids can swim after I put the...

    Hello - New to the Forum

    Hi, Just saying Hello. First thing I did last week when I joined was to Call Meg and Dave and TFTestKits and get a TF-100. Dave was very helpful and helped me go from "Hey I just dumped 10,500 gallons into my pool" to now I am an ametuer water chemist! ;-) The water went from clear (first...
