    intex pool and deck build

    Your pool is up and functional, I envy you right now. I had to take ours down over the winter because it started to get very uneven in a few spots, I need to go fix it and flatten/pack the area. The pool and deck look fantastic though, gives me a few ideas!

    Dookie! New AGP and need help with conversion.

    That muriatic acid is intense, first time I was pouring it into a measuring cup some spilled on a brick and made a nice little sizzle sound, I was not enjoying those few minutes at all. Pouring it into the pool wasn't any better either! Best of luck with your pool though. These folks here are...

    New filter/pump for Intex AGP, need reco

    That's the one I checked the Amazon reviews on (http://www.amazon.com/AquaQuik-HP-Pool-Sand-Filter/product-reviews/B001QOGN7S/ref=cm_cr_dp_all_helpful?ie=UTF8&coliid=&showViewpoints=1&colid=&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending) I was pretty interested until I read those, now I think I would rather...

    New filter/pump for Intex AGP, need reco

    Anyone have something that works nicely or know of something that works well on the Intex Ultra Frame pools? All I ever read is about the lack of quality on the Intex units and also how horribly the tiny filters are at doing a decent job so I would like to at least have something lined up and...

    Woke up today and the pH was at 7.4, everything else was roughly the same as last night so after our daughter went to school this morning, wife, son and myself hopped in for about an hour and aerated the heck out of the pool :lol: Water felt great, no irritation on the eyes or skin for any of...

    Just tested again for the night: FC: 4.5 CC: 0 PH: 7.5 TA: 120 Salt: 3020 What should I do to get the TA down to 80 and keep the other numbers from going nutty? Is the pool ok to swim in? I'd like to jump in there tomorrow morning right after my daughter gets on the bus for her first day of...

    Leaning pole

    My pool is about an inch off after a big rain too. I had to drain it once already and I fixed it because now it is only off in one spot as opposed to 3 :lol: IMHO, I would drain it and get everything level, that looks like a pretty extreme angle on those legs. More than likely you won't have...

    Just tested for the below again. Since nothing was brought up about the other test results (except for the ones below) I did not test them this time around. If I should, just say so and I will go do it. Time to go add some bleach? SWG has been on for about 1.5hrs now. FC: 2 CC: 0 PH: 7.5...

    Another new guy with a TF100 and some Q's

    Sounds good. I have the SWG setup for 4hrs but I turned it off to add more salt. Is it best to be running the pump during the day or in the evening or is it a negligible difference? Yeah I read that about having it off with people in the pool, installing that GFCI outlet was a horrible...

    Another new guy with a TF100 and some Q's

    Should I leave the pump on 24/7 until I get everything balanced out? Also, what would be a recommended pump/filter setup for this pool? I don't mind getting something 2spd so I could run it 24/7 if the low setting was low enough and then turn it up for vac/cleaning duty. I had looked at a...

    Awesome guys, thanks for the quick replies. Salt addition is in. CYA is enjoying life in a sock. Acid will be put in the pool in 30 minutes. Generally, how long does CYA take to dissolve? I couldn't put the sock in the skimmer basket because I have the SUPER AMAZING intex in-pool basket and...

    Just got my pool setup the other day, had the water tested at a local pool store because I didn't pay attention to the shipping for my TF100 test kit. I figured it was better than nothing and their results seemed pretty spot on to what my TF100 kit gave me. Anyway, here are my results: FC...
