Our new Heliocol solar panels were installed on Monday, They are working good and adding heat to the pool (105 here the last few days), Now I am wanting to dial in the panels with the correct flow rate so I can maximize heat and energy usage. I found an older post that had some great comments...

I just upgraded from my PDA system to the IAqualink 3.0. I just got the app installed and set up the pool and connection and everything is working well. First dump question Is there an app or web page that I can use on my home PC? I searched and did not find anything, or is this just for a...

A pool cleaning company that was doing a free 30 day service for our new pool. I tested this morning and my PH was 7.8. The tech that came by added 1/2 gallon of acid which lowered my acid to 6.6 and TA to 60!!!! Now my looking good CSI is a big negative number. I turned on my deck jets ...

I have a Zodiac Atlas suction cleaner that came with the pool, now that I have the equipment pad working properly, I went to set up the Atlas. Reading the user manual, the Atlas needs to spin its wheels 10 revolutions in 20 seconds. I found 2 ways to meet this requirement: 1. Set the pump to...

Thinking of getting a Robot, had 3 (2 pool rover jr and 1 Dolphin) of them in my old above ground intex. Concerned about the motor leaking issue that seems to come up on other posts on the Dolphins. Is it possible to seal the motor better? Just asking because I would like to get more than 5...

Hi All, We are nearing the completion of our new inground gunite pool. We are using liquid chlorine (SWG will void our warranty). I previously had Liquidator with my Intex pool that worked great and now I am going with a Stenner Pump. I would like to get the timer built in with the pump (Econ...

We are about to start a new in ground pool build. I have had an Intex pool for quite a few years. We have space limitations in the backyard and have a PUE for raised power lines over our fence. We are trying to get to a 12-foot-wide pool but that would leave 4 1/2 feet from pool edge to house...

I opened the pool to find my pool in the green swamp ... I started my SLAM on 4/11 and I am still going!!! I left the PH a little low in the beginning (7.0) as the rain has been coming in Northern California quite a bit this spring (Which we desperately need :p) My pole for my brush bent and...

I am installing a new 18' Intex Ultra Frame. I will be installing solar panels on my roof in the near future. The pump that comes with the pool I know would be inadequate to run the solar on my patio roof. I would like to keep things simple by ugrading to the Intex Sand Filter / Pump 3000 GPH...

Hello All, I wanted to thank everyone on my previous post for providing information on the depths of the water for the Intex pools. We have decided to go with a new 18'x48" Intex Ultra Frame Pool. I have been reading this forum for the past 4 years when I got our first Ring Pool. I have been...

Hello All, I am wanting to go from my current ring pool to a Ultra Frame Pool this year. I have 3 boys ages 4 to 7. My latest ring pool was a 15'x30", which was a depth of about 24" or so. My concern is the depth of the water so that the pool is safe for my children. I wanted to get a pool...
