I've read up on all I can about strange things in a pool. Algae, has fingers that come from the center of it self, and this doesn't. What I see is about 5 to 10 of these things together and when I go to vac my pool they sometimes break apart into this picture. Can anyone tell me what this...

I don't know where to place this, so I figure this would be the best place. I noticed some spiders (with egg sacs) on the edge of the pool. I really didn't know what to do, so I grab some spider spray and spray it around the entire rim of the pool. Did I screw up? I believe maybe a little...

When I put up my Intex Sand Filter I noticed that the PSI was around 10 (in the green zone). I'm sure being new in using this I've gone over board with backwashing and etc.. Today I noticed that my PSI is now down to 6 PSI. In addition to this, where the outlet hose goes into a basket before...

Just wondering about something about the backwash hose. I have an Intex Pump (Model SF60110 (3,000 GPM)) and it doesn't say nor does it say that after backwashing I should replace the hose with the end cap. Yesterday after backwashing the pump, I keep my hose attached to the pump. Can I just...

New to the sand filter stuff and have a few questions. #1: What are the signs that I need to add more sand? #2: I know I will get some sand back in the pool, but are the signs that I to much sand back into the pool? #3: Approximately how many backwashing cycles before more sand is needed...

Started up my pool today and empty my pool vacuum. Noticed little tiny pink something in the net. Felt sticky and wouldn't come off with running water. Look it up and figure they where Mosquito larvae. How can I clean my pool out of these little tiny things?

Just looking for a general answer. But where does everyone purchase pool supplies from?

Got an intex auto cleaner for my pool (22 x 54") and started to use it today. Past history is that my pool has been on the ground outside spread out to dry it out before putting it up AGAIN. Anyway, put the pool up the other day and noticed that their was grim on the side of the pool and...

Got my new sand filter/motor from Intex up. First had to visit Lowes to add extensions to use the old water tubes plus the new ones. It really wasn't a problem. Only wish Intex would send you longer hoses to get to the pool. Anyway, last year when I was searching for a good sand filter, I...

I'm a very true believer in this forum as when I set up my pool for this 1st year, the little pump that they gave me wasn't doing the job. I'm sure everyone is asked on this web site, but I haven't found it is what type of sand filter pump should I purchase. My pool is 22' x 54", fresh water...

Hello all and I hope everyone is enjoying their pools, I am that's for sure being down here in the South. Next question. My pool (22' x 54") is by a few large trees and every day I notice more and more leaves in the pool. I wanted to swim and not clean before getting in. The leaves are even...

Does anyone know where I can get a skimmer like this show in the picture and youtube? If you can't see the skimmer you can view it here on youtube Intex 18 Pool Vacuuming Kit (9) - YouTube My pool didn't come with a skimmer and I'm looking to purchase one. This skimmer interested me greatly...

I am new to all the pool stuff, so please forgive me asking these questions. First the pump. As you all are aware of, at the end of the pump plug, the plug that comes with the pool has a CFI on it. It has a test and reset button on it with a little light that tells you if it is on or not...

I live down here in SC., and really didn't know the population of Ant Village. I know we have ants, but not this many. What does everyone use for ants moving all over their pools? I've read somewhere that DE Food Grade does the trick. If anyone use this, let me know how you apply it. Also...

I have an Intex 22 x 52" round pool. On Wednesday, my wife and I took out all the grass/sand/and strange things that were in the ground. Then we put a 2 x 4 board (11.7 inches long) and on one end put a leveler (24" long), put a rod into the ground and draw a circle were we wanted the pool...
