I think this is a brand new package offered at intheswim. There is very little information, no reviews, and I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with this setup? Raypak Protege CFP Cartridge Filter Systems Item#E3946 - Description: 200 ft. Cartridge System with 1.5 HP 2 speed pump...

Thank you.. I was looking at them both and figured either would be okay as long as it was plumbed correctly.

I searched and searched the forums, so if this has been discussed and I couldn't find it, I apologize. Is there a difference between an IG and AG SWCG? I just upgraded my pool, and I doubt my Intex SWCG will be able to keep up with the new size. I will have it all hard plumbed and am looking...

I second the pool salt at Wal-Mart, usually in the garden center during the summer. While you are there, you can get your liquid chlorine (bleach) in the laundry aisle. There are salt test strips on amazon, just search for salt test strips.

There is another test strip that will just test the salt ppm. You may have to go back to the pool store to get some, or online. I haven't seen them at the box stores. Follow the instructions on them, as the ones I got you have to soak in 1" of pool water for 15 minutes to get an accurate...

Hey Paul, trust me, the salt water chlorine generator is one of the best purchases I ever made for my pool. It is a little bit of work at first to get the pool started, but once you do, you will love it. Just test your water daily, and use the pool math calculator here. I made the mistake of...

I fixed my problem, and I thank everyone for the quick replies and the help. I am not sure which one of these fixed the problem, but I have crystal clear clean water in my pool now, and all of my chemicals are in perfect balance. I added that stain remover, and ran the pump constantly for a...

Update on my issue, last night, I placed a white sock over the outlet into the pool, and it quickly started turning red/brown. I added 30oz. of intheswim stain remover, and let the pump run all night. This morning when I checked, it was all but cleared up. I took the filter out to rinse it...

Thank you for the quick replies. My numbers came from a test strip I had, so they probably are not the most accurate. It will give a reading up to 10 on the FC. I am planning on getting a TF-100 next week, that should help with the accuracy of the numbers. In speaking with my parents who...

Hi everybody, great boards I have learned a lot searching. Forgive me if I didn't find this info elsewhere, but here goes. I have a 16' x 48" Intex Steel Fram AG pool with the stock cartridge pump/filter. (seems pretty weak) I have the Intex Krystal Klear SWG as well. Filled the pool on...
