my pool store didnt have one :( . I was using a b adapter and the billionth time it fell off I decided something needed to be done asap. So I made one using a 2" (thread) x 1.5 (glued side) male adapter and a rubber gasket that had the same id as the hose but was a bit larger on the outside. I...

I put mine so the screws are just below the seam and I only lost a bit. It's really not that noticable swimming. I saw the above the seam thread right after I put it in :cry:. but man is it clean now :). The 1000 gph pump does seem to run the skimmer just ok, but wow what a difference when it's...

if i remember correctly my remote for my fan/lights was fairly cheap. cheap enough I wouldnt hesitate to throw it in a bag to keep it dry. your idea is a pretty good, a remote. I like it.

Yes it does help. I was just wondering if i should get one with the different connector next time. Mine was also fine till the last couple days. Anyways they had no problem with my claim. The fellow I talked to said the model number before I could finish reading it off all I gave him was cs. He...

Looks like I have to call them today. Mine melted over night, thought i smelled something the other day. Woke up to the code 91 with good salt levels a tad on the higher side. Mine was right on the connector on the cell the plastic looks a bit buldged and discolored. Anyways I was just curious...

The pool store should have some sort of vinyl cement. I'm a displaced canuck eh! so peavymart and princess auto for you ;) . I miss princess auto surpluss section

nice skimmer install, i need one like that :) I bought the pool repair kit from ace hardware for 11 bucks, it came with a small 4 oz. can of jed pool vinyl adhesive and 500 sq inches of clear material. It worked real good on my intex and it did work wet, so I'm sure it'd work real good dry.

Yes but im not proud of it, ive been eyeing up the k-2006 or tfa-100?. I just have the aquacheck or aqua something or other strips for salt. and then I have a handfull of strips I like playing with learnt quickly they suck. If I do enough strips I can get whatever I want in my pool. I'm just...

It's my second season with the intex up. The first season was a struggle but we made it. To start this season I ditched the 1000gph pump for the 1600 gph sand filter (walmart and local pickup :goodjob: ) I removed my copper bars in my swg, and ive removed the rust and primed and painted the...

Mine looked similar to that not as bad though. I soaked it in some strong bleach water for a week, changing the water once and it helped a bunch. then with the scrub brush like mentioned above. I did consider the pressure washer, but chickened out cause one slip and it'd be done. I mean it'll...
