Sorry to see your pool, I hope you get things resolved. Keep us informed. For me, I just purchased a doughboy pool from a local dealer do to if I had problems I know I can go straight to the factory that's been in business for over 60yrs. Here are a couple things I just read in my warranty...

For me, I had the same budget it is Intex, The family had a 16x48 but last August we bought a 18x48 for this year do to the sale. The best advice though is get a real pump and filter system for your intex pool, you will spend around $550 http://www.doheny.com/poolsupplies/Hayw ... stems.html...

I was thinking that too. I looked into undercoating rustoleum http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=364

yea, I saw this the other day they were on sale for 40 then 30. I told my wife we should order a couple of the lights since it was a good price but they are back up. I did have one before and it burnt out only last one season, so I don't think they are worth $60 but $30 yes. as for now I just...

This is an issue that I am dealing with right now, I have some ultra metal bars that are rusted through near where the plastic locking button is at. when I put up my new pool next summer. I am going to get some clear bathroom caulk and caulk the seems of the pipe and where where the locking...

Here is a couple pictures for people who are interested in this filter pump. The sun came out for a few minutes so I just took some pics with my cell phone.

This morning the sun was out, and Holly Cow the water looked perfect! I told my daughter to come out and look at the cleanest water we ever had. For some reason she wasn't to enthused and said there was a 1 bug floating on top?? I guess this is a man thing and his tool love! LOL Of course it...

Re: i have a questions about installing intex metal frame p I have a 16'x48 and I found what seemed a level area in my grass, put down the intex blue plastic under sheet that comes with the pool, I didn't remove the grass, I put put tile under the legs, after filling the pool one area was a...

Re: Intex Ultra Ultra Frame 18' x 48" vs Pro Series 20' x 48 pro series has the side cut in skimmer filter system, Intex has the round intake with the filter system that hooks up with hoses and sits on the ground. I have found that if you are going to buy a large intex/pro series pool you...

Thanks Mike, yea it will take time to get used to it, actually I will need to try and keep away from it. Compared to the toy Intex pump I would always fiddle with. This pump and filter is like King! LOL And yea Clearance is where it's at. I learned A LOT with my first intex pool, when to buy. We...

Thanks jblizzle for the reminder, I will have to keep an eye on how long it can go before a cleaning. it said to mark down the psi for pre coat which was 10 psi in my case, then once it raises 7 to 10 psi above precoat, then regenerate the filter by bump the handle 3 times when pump is off...

Just got my new Hayward DE Filter pump kit today from http://www.poolsuppliessuperstore.com cost me a little over $500 but to me it is well worth it. I have a intex 16'x 48" for the past 3 years but it was rusting and needs replaced so the wife just went and bought a intex 18'x48" for next...
