Thanks Launboy.... I will be figuring on the 5500 gals instead of the other amounts....

Thanks everyone again for your help. GameGroup is being VERY stand up in this, and shipping me out a new pump. So I am happy with how they worked with me... So the pump was bad... but I am getting a new one.

poolcalculator says 7600 gallons- 18 feet by 48 inches... 4 feet. Substantially more than Intex says. Intex's chart does not even show a 56- do they make one???? That would be COOL! I would think that a pool calc would be wrong the OTHER way, too, because of the way Intex's are... They are 18...

Self- priming. But there is a clear plastic elbow going into the strainer bucket before the pump- I ALWAYS check that.... and it always had water. Never run dry, for sure. I bought it at Leslies- are they pretty good at standing behind these things>??? Its new enough I would expect them to just...

Hi: New to the board.... new to pools. Last summer was very hot here, and I saw the 18' Intex at Toys R Us for 2 bills, so I got it. This year, I decided to upgrade the pump. I got an AquaQuik 3/4 HP pump and sand filter. Had it about two weeks. Plugged it in tonight.... nothing. Dead. I...
