That's the dilemma, there isn't enough information about it to know if it is an issue or not on a storable pool. So looking for other's expirences.

Thanks for the link, good info there. Haven't kept up on the most recent NEC updates, but good to see they're focusing on making the storable pool topic less confusing.

Oh yea! I forgot about the details of the warning. Def a cya/catch all disclaimer. I assumed it was because of the pump inlets that could get a kid's long hair or something caught and potential risk of drowning as the double insulation is supposed to protect against any shock risks. I have one...

Looking into installing a 105,000 btu RayPak natural gas pool heater to my 24ft by 52" Bestway pool (basically same as Intex, Colman, etc. ) Initially I didn't need to bond my pool as the sand filter is an Intex filter and double insulated. The frame uses plastic inserts to at all points to...

Sorry didn't see this until now. Yep, sitting in my garage currently. Going to install it soon! I was just in Menards a few weeks ago, and see they still have the same price for a newer version of it. Good deal with the 11% off!

Thank you! And good idea on going a little bigger. Appreciate your help.

I'm looking to purchase and install this RayPak pool heater: Pool Heater Before I submit for the permit, I'd like to figure out the details. It's about 125ft - 130ft run from the gas meter to the pool area. I will tap in at the meter and run the Propoly underground gas line for the 105,000 btu...

Are you still using the same pool? I live in the Midwest and get some pretty cold winters. I have the 24ft Bestway, and it's been up for almost 8yrs now. Seems to still be going strong! Just the tops of the liners are fraying due to uv damage. I leave it out all year long and close and cover...

Figured I would share my success story. I used to have problems with my Intex auto pool cleaner (crawler) with it getting stuck often and what not. I was looking at some YouTube tutorials on fixes for these things and it looks like sand/grit gets stuck in the gears and stops it from reversing...

I was thinking the same thing. I have a 24ft pool. I have the cartridge filter, and I just purchased the sand filter. I have the two inlets that come to the T connection, and I just purchased the single fittings. I was thinking of running them both at the same time (not all the time, but for...

Ah okay, that makes sense then to do since you don't hsve the plastic inserts. My knowledge on bonding goes as far as what I could muster on Google as I'm not an electrician, but I wonder then since I have the plastic inserts what the proper way is to bond this pool, especially with a heater...

Thanks for the follow up. I have a Bestway pool, which I believe is the same as the intex frame. My frame has plastic inserts for each pipe connection, and plastic feet for each leg. Im thinking every piece of metal would need to be bonded in order to ensure everything has equal potential. Is...

So what was your solution for bonding the heater with an intex pool?
