I have a intex sand pump connected to my above ground pool. Today, when I was doing the backflush that I do once a week, I noticed the amount of water being flushed out started to reduce in quantity until it became just a trickle. I could her something building up in the canister so I shut it...

I had a Intex pool that I slammed and the liner bleached out/ faded badly and unevenly. It looked awful. I don't recall at what level I took the FC up to but it was not above 12 if I recall. Now I may need to slam my new Intex pool. The Mustard algae slam says to take it up to 42 until I pass a...

I put a new ladder in my above ground pool a few weeks ago. Today I saw some yellow under it in inside of the pool side of the ladder. I moved it over 3 feet and there was a huge perfectly yellow/orange square of algae under it. After kicking at it under water a few times. it turned into a huge...

I will be adding BORAX to my pool soon. I'll be adding it while in the 20 Mule Team Borax form. All the videos I see show adding it by pouring it into the skimmer while the pump is on. I don't have a skimmer. Can I just pour it into the pool and get in and kick it around until it dissolves? I'll...

I have completely refilled my pool being it is a totally new above ground pool It has 6,818 gallons of salt water in it and no CYA. That is right. I have not added any conditioner yet. I went to that place who's name will not be mentioned and bought a 4-lb. tub of their branded conditioner. The...

I have the pool listed in my sig. The air ring around the top has a leak. It leaks just enough that if I don't fill it up once in the am and again in the pm, the pool will collapse in the night. I have tried spraying the whole ring with Windex to find the leak and I have soaped it all up with a...

This year I have found four different types of water bugs in my pool. I have identified several of them. 1. Water Boatman (3 of them) 2. Water Scorpions (1 of them) 3. Water Striders (3 of them) 4. Some little black dots 1/4 to 1/2 the size of a dog flea that stay on or near the surface but can...

Folk's I'm looking to buy a electric pool heater for my above ground 18' x 48" round rubber pool in my signature. I have looked around a little bit and have not been able to determine how many BTU's are required to raise my water temp 20 degrees like from 70 to 90. Naturally I'm not looking to...

I have the pool in my signature. I'm wanting to vacuum it out like a in ground pool. I have seen before where you could get a hose that could be connected to my Intex 2,500 gph filter pump. This way I could vacuum the pool and everything that gets sucked up goes into the cartridge filter.\\I...

I switched to the Unicel C-5315 (Type B) filters last year. I bought 2 from Amazon and have a bucket where the one that is off sits and cleans in a chemical bath while the other one works. Every few weeks I swap them out. They are far better than the intex filters I still need to use up and...

Cut to the chase and just read the bottom paragraph or read all of this for details: Here are my current water specs: FC: 8.0 (This is my minimum/target level. I usually take it up to 11 each night and lose 3.0 FC over the next 24/hrs. leaving me back at my target level.) CC: 0.0 pH: 7.6 TA...

I'm still using the SWG that I got with my Intex Pool just 9 months ago which is a 18' X 48" AGP pool. It came with a SWG (Model CS8110) and a T-635 1,500 gph filter pump. I have already replaced the pump with the bigger T622 2,500 gph. It is awesome. My water is about perfect per my K2006...
