    swapping parts

    Have an older intex swg w/o copper it won't turn on. I think it has something to do with the electronics. I went ahead and got a new 8110 with copper. What I would like to know if I could hook up the old plates to the new swg? I believe they will still produce chlorine. So, if I use the old...

    2500gph upgrade

    Well after contemplating and reading all I could I believe I'm just gonna get the 2000gph saltwater chlorinator combo. I guess this one has the copper ionizer? If so how do you unhook it. Could someone refer me as to where I should order one from??

    2500gph upgrade

    2500gph upgrade

    The nipples protrude outside of the pool. My 637 pump hoses just slipped onto them and used a hose clamp. Sry no pic of pool. But it it a 16ft ultra frame 5000gallons powder coated grey poles. Now there is nothing to screw the plunger valves onto just an inch and half black nipple???????

    2500gph upgrade

    That's 1 thing I left off. for some reason I am against a sand filter. I'm ok with washing my filter off every few days. Thx for reply. I'm still lost as to the hole size. My pool has the black nipples that stick out. Can that be used with a plunger valve.

    2007 8110

    Wal-mart 6 way hth strips very hard to read accurately. Put 2 gallons of bleach 3 days apart at first fill. Tf100 is on the way. The pool is 16x48 approx 5060 gallons. Bought whole set-up on Craigs for 200.00. Can you use the BBB method with a swg, to tweak things? So far no algae or anything...

    2007 8110

    Bought on Craigslist an intex 8110 pump. The green light never comes on. By what I've read on here if I see bubbles at the return about 10 minutes later my 8110 is working right? Water been clear for 2 months now, THX
