I have a 2 speed 2HP pump and a cartridge filter. Pool was installed a week ago and has been up and running since Monday. Do I need to run the pump on low 24/7 or do I need to run it so many hours a day (8, 12, etc.) Thanks!

Our new pool! Installed 8/2, finally got it filled up (good grief it took forever), chemicals in doing their thing, and filter/pump running yesterday. It is a 30'x54". Can't wait to get in!! We have some backfilling to do on the back side, but not much. The installers did a fabulous job...

How do you know when to or how often do you clean an AGP cartridge filter (not intex)? Brand new to this type of filter, we had a sand one last time. Pool was just put in and filling now, but I want to get ahead of the game on maintenance and know when to do things.

I have been looking at solar covers and I'm a bit overwhelmed. Mil differences, blue, clear, etc. What's the best bang for the buck? And how do they affect your water chemistry?

Hi all! I used to lurk on this site (for obvious reasons - hello helpful people!) a few years ago when we had an Intex pool. We had it for 3 years and then a storm took it out. We decided not to replace it and instead bought a boat and spent our summers on the lake. This summer, we have been...

We upgraded from the 1500 intex cartridge filter to a new 2650 intex sand filter on our 18'x48" intex ultra frame pool. After setup, backwash, rinse, etc., we ran the pump. Let me tell you, it MOVES some water compared to the old filter. We set it for 6 hours, watched it a few minutes and...

Hi! Fairly new here, been lurking a few weeks though and I have learned a lot of valuable information. This site is great! We bought an 18x48 Intex ultra frame pool last month and have had it set up since then. This is our first pool so we really did not know anything about pool maintenance...
