We have been dealing with algae and cloudy water in our pool. We just installed the Intex 14" sand filter. Our ph is over 8.4 according to the testing kit. We have been using HTH products to try to balance the water. So today, I finally took the water in to have it tested at our local...

Thanks for all the replies. I'm the OP. We have the filter set up and it is working great. We are still having water issues. I have finally taken the water to have it tested and I will probably be posting in one of the other forums on it. It will take us another $100 or so in their product...

We just got the Intex model 5667 sand filter from a company on Ebay. The shipment was free and fast. We're hoping to get it set up by this weekend. Is there any advice for setting this up and operating it? Our pool is the 16'x48" Ultra Frame and its has survived 2 years of our abuse and...

Thanks for your reply. I looked at the old pump/filter in my garage and it is larger than the 635, model number on the box is 56631, pump #51 on the actual unit. It takes the B size filter. I can't get the lid off of the filter area. The only reason the friend who had it is not using it is...

We bought a 16'x48" Intex Ultra Pool last year. We are in Texas so it was left up throughout the winter. We probably made all of the mistakes that new owners made. Although, I repeatedly discussed it with my husband, we did not cover it, did not unhook the pump or hoses, and did not drain the...

We bought a 16'x48" Ultra Frame last year and really like it. But, we left it up during the winter (in Texas) and my husband did not disconnect the hoses or winterize it. We lost water through the pump, we think, and are not sure if its going to work. The pool still has some water (about 18"...

Re: New Intex pool filling up- tested water with 3 way test Just tested my water using the 3 way Walmart test kit, Cl is between 1-2, br is about 2, ph is about 7.8 Are these safe levels, do I need to add anything today? If I add Chlorine, how long before we can use the water. I'm going to...

We put our pool up last night and are in the process of filling it up. I've read pool school and am still a little confused about what to do about the water at first. I have a very simple water test kit that was bought from Walmart two years ago. Can I use this for initial tests? I plan to...

Thanks, we'll keep that information in mind when we purchase a permanent pool. The new Intex pool comes with a new ladder, so we'll just use it. We live in the country so we don't have to worry with some of the codes that people in the city have to deal with. We just have to keep the chickens...

We have just purchased a 16x48 Ultra Frame Intex pool. We will probably try to get it up this evening. We have a 7 year old who is currently in swim lessons, and we want to keep his practice up. We were looking at above ground steel pools and almost purchased one, but realized we need more...

Thanks for the reply. We actually looked at our finances again and decided to go with a 16x48 Ultra frame intex. Its our best option right now financially, and will give us time to decide whether we really want to go permanent, where to place the pool, pool size and be able to use almost...

We are looking at a Lomart Whispering wind 24x52 pool. We have two of the ladders from our Easy set pools. Can they be used in these steel pools? The package we're looking at (on Ebay) is pool, liner, cleaner only. We'll need to purchase a salt filter in addition to the pool. Any...
