    Gomebike - Closing questions

    68 is my current average . I think that's a bit high but I am going to be very busy and last weekend was pretty much the only time I could see in the near future to close and store all the items properly. I don't have any chemicals in it, last things I put in was to balance the PH. All others...

    I hate this time of the year

    I'm really down too, on the flip side I absolutely love Halloween so I pulled out my decorations to cheer me up. Also, I love your deck, it's exactly what I want to build next year!

    Intex Ultra and air pillow question

    We drained our Pro Series to below the skimmer and still used the pillow. I bought mine on a whim, thought it was better safe than sorry.

    Take down or leave up?

    I have an 18x52 pro series, Intex SWG and Intex .5 hp sand pump/filter. and I'm leaving mine up. I closed today (a bit early but I don't think I will have the time before it's too late). Last year we took ours down and it was a complete muddy mess and not to mention it wasn't stored properly...

    Intex 2650 GPH Sand Filter $166.94 at Amazon

    We bought ours for $194 2 months ago from Ebay, free shipping so maybe that evens out? I love this pump for the value.

    Need inexpensive quality pool suggestions!

    This x1000. The pump that came with it was absolutely useless, the ladder also had to be replaced. I love my Intex pool and it's been wonderful; however, if I wasn't planning on selling our home in the near future, I would have opted probably for something more permanent.

    out of LEVEL AGAIN

    Last year we build a "sand box" type set up to level an area for our 16X48. We didn't put pavers below the legs and it sunk, to about 3-4 inches difference across about half of the pool. We had the attitude of "forget it and let it be". We used tie down straps and secured the pool to a tree on...

    Ladder Solutions for Pro Series/Intex Pools?

    Thanks for all the info, I think we're ready to purchase one and maybe next year build the extension on our deck that will go to the pool.

    Ladder Solutions for Pro Series/Intex Pools?

    Hello! We just installed our Pro Series 18"x52" about a month ago. I thought that this ladder would make one season and we could start on the deck build next spring. Well obviously it's not, we're both adults and all our friends are adults (some a bit larger than others) and this ladder is...

    What's a decent vacuum for smaller pump?

    We had the same problem with our pool, Pro Series 18x52. It came with a skimmer plate, hose, head, and pole; however it wasn't strong enough to pick up the debris. We went to the pool store, and any vacuum that would work for us was in the $399+ range. I just bought the splash vac they had at...
