Just bought our second intex and while putting it up realized it was a little different - In order to comply with the Virginia Graeme Baker Act it has 3 holes for the filter system. 2 outlets and 1 inlet. The pump remains the same (with a single inlet and outlet) and you just fork the outlet...

Ahhh, clever Isaac, I'll try that. Thanks!

The 4th day of dichlor was about a week ago and as you guys indicated the chlorine hangs around a heck of a lot longer than when there was no stabilizer.

Hi folks, First post here, thanks for having me :) I have been reading the Guide for Seasonal/Temporary Pools post and had a question about Step 5. I set up my Intex 14' x 48" AG pool and filled it with tap water. I currently only have the HTH 3 test kit (Walmart was out of the 6 test kit...
