We had our initial pool fill via a local water company, but we've topped it off with well water. I'm considering adding something like this in-line water conditioner to help prevent mineral buildup or calcification. I've used it at another property with good results - but that was for the indoor...

We recently setup a short term rental property in Hollywood, FL with an in-ground pool. Before the temperatures drop, I'd like to install a pool heater. Here's the property. Is there a reliable pool heater buying guide? We don't have natural gas or propane to the property, so it'd need to be...

Thanks Pat! Looks like I could grab the pool pump from Home Depot too when I grab the PVC. By the way, we're just north of you by an hour or two in Dripping Springs. Thanks again, Mike

I have a 16'x32 Intex pool, and I'm considering upgrading the pump and filter as I re-open it for the season. I plan to add a SWG, increase all piping to 1.5" PVC, and add 1 or 2 skimmer baskets into my pool walls. How do I calculate what size pump and filter I should jump to, and be worth the...

Thank you, this is exactly what I've been looking for. Do you have a filter dome/basket over the through-wall fittings for leaves, etc?

Thanks Pieter, your setup looks exceptionally clean! Can you share what parts you used to hard plumb? Basically everything after your flexible Intex hose. Thanks, Mike

Looks like the weather history suggests from south to north, but I may dump a few ping pong balls in and see where they sit during the day.

I added them as attachments now - seems to be an issue when I post it on desktop and view it on mobile 😕.

Hi everyone, This is summer #2 with our Intex 16x32' pool, and I want to make some significant upgrades. This includes an Intex saltwater generator, a Hayward skimmer, and hard plumbing most of the PVC (with a bit of flexible PVC). I'm also going to move the pump and filter off the hill and...

I plan to switch my Intex AGP to a saltwater system. One route is to add the Intex SWG, and the second route is to buildout a new full system. I plan to hard-plumb the system this season regardless. Are there any complete systems other members have had great success with? I'm thinking now...

I have a Bestway Saluspa heater/pump connected to a 100 gallon plastic stock tank as a 1-person hot tub. Currently I have a metal mesh filter inline from the inlet and before the pump, but I'd like to swap it for a replaceable paper filter. My tubing is 1". Any recommendations are appreciated.

Cowboycasey, do you have a thread on how you winterize? Would appreciate learning about your process.

Thank you @cowboycasey! I’ll order a solar cover tonight. How do you like “The PoolCleaner” in your picture? Looking for a new vacuum.
