Thanks everyone!

Okay... got it. I shocked the heck out of it Monday when I knew the rain was coming. I "figured" this is how I got the water clear with all the "dusty green" at the bottom. As soon as the heat came in, this problem has been on going. We use solar shades and a fountain, which help with temp...

I will go by Leslie's later to get better testing kit. For sure, the green stuff was at the bottom. We hoped vacuuming would not stir it up too much but so much for that. The strips we use [I know not super recommended] just tell us everything is "in line", with chlorine being right on the...

We finally got our pool clear after it being sort of green and cloudy... the chemicals are balanced. Yesterday, we had green at the bottom only, so my husband slowly vacuumed to filter, with a one of those triangular vacuums and then we let the filter run all night... now I am cloudy. Are we...

Curious... can you do the same but use rubber mulch nuggets? Thank you.

Ahh, makes sense! Thank you.

@Blacklisted Thank you. I thought the liner was super tough, do you fear damage from the rocks? I was thinking of using the edging materiel + rubber mulch if that is the case. The water dried up by the time I went outside so that was good. I may dig a small trench and use a small PVC pipe to...

Hello all! We spent the weekend cutting out all the sod, getting to virgin soil... leveling to lowest spot as best as we could... The pool is up. We cut out a 20 foot hole and after we were done, we had to adjust where we put the legs, etc... there are some areas where the dip between the...

Thanks guys. :) I will give either idea a shot. I was thinking this should be a common "fix" give the popularity of these pools. Thanks!

Hi again! Can I leave the "stock" valve on? The one that came with the "2100GPH KRYSTAL CLEAR™ SAND FILTER PUMP" is too big and I don't feel comfortable making the hold larger. Thanks, T

Hello all, I have the INTEX 16 ft x 8 ft x 42 in Prism Frame Pool and the pool loses quite a bit of water in the open corner area. Has anyone had any luck in fabricating something to fix this? I found an old post on this but it was in the wrong forum: Losing water at corners of intex...

How did this hold up? Has anyone else found other solutions? Thanks so much!

Well, never mind. Academy made the decision for me with a $100 price drop and the reviews had good pictures...

Hello, I hope all is well. Does anyone have this particular pool? I am trying to decide if I can afford an extra foot of pool... the foot print of the 16x8x42 is more like 19x10 or so, I think! Anyone with advice or pictures of the 16x8x42 would be appreciated. I am concerned about the...

Hi all, I did see a threat that contained a similar complaint but I believe it was user error... as mine will be I hope. I used this Intex Sand Filter last year and it worked great. We just filled the pool, poured the salt in and put new sand in the filter --- and it won't suck the water...
