Question -- w question -- which slimebag would work with a sump pump?

Fascinating! I will look into that today. Thank you so much! (The pool is filling up with debris, so I had been scooping it out with a net).

I've got an Intex above ground pool with sand filter and salt water generator. The pump motor has died and Intex says the part is on "back order" and likely won't be available this summer. Unless I buy a whole new pool, the filter/SWG that works with my pool is unavailable for purchase online...

While I wait for Intex to process my warranty claim and replace the motor & control for my Intex SWG/Sand Filter Pump (which no longer works... at all), is there any way to keep my pool water clean(ish) without the use of a working pump or filtration system? I plan to test the water daily using...

I can't thank you enough. This forum is really wonderful!!!!

Thanks everyone. This forum is great! I tested 5000 ppm using the Taylor sodium chloride salt test that I ordered from TFtestkits.net. Leslie's came up with 4000. And the water does taste salty.

I'm sure our salt is high, because the Intex instruction booklet said to add 210 pounds of salt for the 8403 gallon pool to achieve 3000 ppm, and my husband accidentally added 240 pounds. But the SWG generator has been running fine all week, and no error code has ever shown up. It's supposed...

Should I add bleach now even though we're going to be emptying 20% of the pool?

And then I got different numbers from Leslie's Pool, using a sample taken 2 hours later: PH: 8.2 FC: 0 CC/TC: 0 TA: 67 (but "adjusted" due to the effect of CyA on tested Total Alkalinity) Salt: 4000 CH: 160 CYA: 99 Planning on removing/replacing 20% of the pool water. Any ideas why the...

We've had our 8403-gallon Intex above-ground pool for 1 week and our TF-100 test kit just arrived. Our numbers are as follows: PH: 8.2 FC: 2 CC: .5 TA: 210 Salt: 5000 (I know, super high) CH: 300 CYA: 30 We have a SWG (ECO15110-2) and have been running it 9 hours every evening. Wondering...
