    Adapters for converting Summer Escapes pump to Intex?

    Finally bought an Intex pump to replace the crappy little black pump on my Summer Escapes AG pool. What I read online is that people pull the Summer Escape pump apart and remove the guts, then hook the Intex pump right to the output and it works great. My question is: Anyone that has done...

    Intex SWG not chlorinating pool enough?

    Have an Intex SWG on our above ground pool. (8000-8400 gallons.) SWG is pretty new, got it last year. Put in about 225 pounds of salt, been running it for about 8 hours a day. Water looks nice, but did a 3 way test this week. PH level looks just right, but the chlorine level was reading...

    Anybody changed Summer Escapes pump and filter?

    That would have been perfect, but that adapter won't work for the 2000 gph pumps, just the smaller ones.

    Anybody changed Summer Escapes pump and filter?

    Have a 20 foot above ground Summer Escapes pool. The filter and pump system use the skimmer like this one: http://www.brandsonsale.com/hg-0053281.html. Mine is the 2000 GPH pump that has been discontinued. I can pay the $209 for the 1500 GPH pump and skimmer, but would like to go to...

    AGP a little off level....Too much?

    20 foot circle Intex pool, 48" deep. Last year had it up for about a month and a half, the ground was really unlevel and the pool was leaning pretty bad. So this year we scraped out the high side with a tractor, then brought in some dirt to smooth the whole thing out. It appeared to be much...

    Where do you store liner for AGP?

    The manual said not to store the liner anywhere the temp would be freezing...where the heck do you store it??? We put it in a closet in the house, and now the closet and everything in it smells nasty!! Why can't I store the liner in one of my sheds that isn't heated? Anyone else store their...

    Will a Intex SWG be safe for my Solar Panels?

    Do I have to have a T at both ends of the Solar Panels? Can I just put a T where the water goes to the panels, so they each have water coming directly into them, then keep the panels connected at the other end with the output coming from one of the panels? Would that serve the same as a T on...

    Will a Intex SWG be safe for my Solar Panels?

    Basically the panels are laying one above the other....the water comes in from the pool into one of the panels...it then flows down the panel to the end where the panel is connected to the other....the water then enters the second panel and flows back the other way through that panel and then...

    Will a Intex SWG be safe for my Solar Panels?

    Are you sure mine would have to be this way? My pump is rated at about 2,000 gph, but when it's diverted totally to the panels it's putting out about 360 gph...that's not high enough for the SWG to do it's job, is it? Wouldn't I put the SWG after the dirverter valve so that I can adjust the...

    Will a Intex SWG be safe for my Solar Panels?

    Wanting to buy the Intex SWG from Wal-Mart to add to my pool: Will it be safe to run with Solar Panels? The reason I'm asking is that my understanding of the Solar Panels, is that they have very small holes where the water goes to the tubes in the panels....I'm wondering if over time the holes...

    A shout out to Fafco for AWESOME customer service!!

    A quick story about some really good customer service..... Got 2 Sungrabber Panels for my new pool about 2 weeks ago, and soon realized that one had a hole and was leaking water. Didn't feel like I should have to patch a brand new panel with a 10 year warranty, so I sent the info and a picture...
