Thank you! Our liner is wearing out and the legs are beginning to rust; it's a metal frame above-ground pool.

We're planning to drain our pool, and I'm wondering if it's safe to use a sump pump in a saltwater pool?

Hi pool fam! I have an above ground 12' vinyl pool with a SWG. Background For the last 2 months, it's been too hot, so we haven't been vacuuming or brushing the pool. We also haven't been swimming in the pool. The pool has been staying at 10 FC. The pool accumulated 2 piles of leaves, and most...

Hi everyone! We had some storms come through on Monday night, so I turned off my salt water generator...and forgot about it until today, Wednesday. Tested the water with my Taylor kit: FC: 1.8 CC: 0.2 CYA: 70 Crystal clear water, aside from bugs that flew in from the storm. Just added some...

Hi there! We just patched up a leak and need to add a little CYA. (1 ounce) How long do we need to wait to swim after adding it to our skimmer?

Gotcha!! I wasn't sure if taking the CYA up to pool school levels would affect the operation of Intex's specific SWG.

Hi! Anyone have an Intex Krystal Clear SWG? Are you following the manufacturer CYA levels or pool school? Why would there be a difference in recommendations between the two?

I haven't added chlorine since I opened the pool 4 weeks ago! This is literally the most clear it has ever been!

I'll go first: 1. Easy leak detection: When the water level is noticably lower, so you refill it, and the salinity level is the same as your starting level - showing a definite evaporation and not a leak!! WIN. 2. Forgot to add nightly chlorine: When you realize 2am into a night out that you...

Definitely test your salt levels before hand! I have a small pool that was supposed to require 45 lbs. I only needed 39 lbs because of pre-existing sodium! I can't speak to that salt brand though. Sorry :)

Hi fellow Intex SWG owners! Anytime I try to set it up, I get the 93/Power Saving code OR it's turned on and generating, so the buttons don't do anything. Help!

I just converted to an and opened my salt water pool. Yellow jackets are a problem here. Last year, in my chlorine pool, I would have to manually kill yellow jackets in the pool. On the first full day of SWG, 3 yellow jackets were dead on their own? Is it a salt intake kill or a surface...

Hi! I'm looking for a pool vacuum that has a soft bottom. Last year, we used the Pool Blaster Catfish and loved everything about it -- EXCEPT the hard wheels that caused punctures in my liner. Are there any vacuums that have maybe a foam bottom or something soft that won't puncture the vinyl...

Hi! Fresh fill of 1,300 gallons + 400 gallons of clear water that was in the winterized pool. I've just added 6 oz of CYA to my 1,700 gallon pool. I've used my pool brush to dissolve it. How long do I wait to add chlorine? When can I turn on the salt water generator? How long until CYA...
