    I can't seem to find an answer to my question.

    Although the Intex unit's documentation states that it is for above ground pools up to 15,000 gallons, my personal opinion, based on my personal experience with having purchasing one of these units for my 16,000 gal in ground pool, is that it can handle a substantially larger AG or IG pool.

    When I had the pool drained to the just below the bottom of the pool light, I took the opportunity to check the niche.

    I am a newbie, first time pool owner and this is my story. We purchased an older home with an existing IG pool a few months ago. The pool was in a neglected, fair to poor (slightly cloudy) condition when we bought the house. Because I was pretty much clueless, and since there were (and still...
