    FIlter

    I had an intex easy set pool 18 x 48. Want to upgrade to an 18 x 52 hard side pool. My question is: can I use the filter system that came with the intex which is 1500 gpm on the new hardside pool. I also have the intex salt water system attached to the filter. Can I use them both on the new pool?

    pH and Alkaline

    I have an intex 18 x 48 pool (5455 gal) with SWG. I tested the water and the pH is at 7.8 and TA is showing 200 with test strips. I put in a pH reducer a few days ago, but no change. All the other chemical levels and chlorine are good. Any suggestions?

    Using water softener pellets in SWG pools

My concern is that some people say you can use the pellets in a SWG pool but take longer to dissolve. Since the glue can gunk...
