    I want to change out the pump, can u recommend a good DE pump for the intex pool? I dont want sand. Can a DE 1 1/2 pool pump/filter be used with the intex pools? We dont have a built in skimmer.

    We saw no change so we emptied the whole pool and are going to start over:( So now we are going to use chlorine tablets. So to do this right what sequence do I do first and with what chemicals. The pool place said they detected no iron or copper, we are on city water.
