That air leak/crack in the hose must have been it. It's behaving perfectly now. Either that or it got scared that I was gonna tear everything apart out of frustration. 😁

Thank you for the reply. I will try to test this week and post. An update too, I replaced the outlet hose with the tiny crack in it, turns out, since that crack was near the top of the connection, it wasn't leaking water but was sucking in air. I suspect this may be part of the issue if not the...

Hey everyone. Hoping someone with similar experience can chime in. I have a 12x24 above ground pool with intex salt water chlorinator and sand filter, rated at 2100gph total/1600gph actual. tl;dr - When I put in an intex vacuum, it will run for a few minutes then stop. The output flow is very...

Also Intex makes one for these pools that mounts onto the frame but the reviews I've seen aren't great. I have no experience with them though. One tip. Most reels are adjustable in length. When you set yours up, make it about a foot wider than the pool. I originally made mine the same width as...

I did something similar but not as fancy as the above poster (looks nice though @cowboycasey !) I got two 5 gallon buckets, 2 backs of concrete, two 2x4's an "in ground" solar reel, and wooden yard stakes. I set the 2x4's in the buckets with concrete, mounted the solar reel on the 2x4's at...

Final update, switching out to the palmetto sand did the trick! No more sand in the pool, just in time to close it up for the season, lol. Thanks again for all the help and advice!

Got it. Thanks!

Thank you! I also found a similar thread here with lots of useful info on how to install the skimmer with the pool drained to below the cutline. Very much appreciate the response. Just to clarify, you put a sock on your skimmer in the pool and the prefilter skimmer right next to the pump? I just...

Thank you for the explanation, and for explaining it so the average Joe like myself can understand. :) Much appreciated.

Maybe this question is due to my lack of electrical knowledge but if you sticking your finger in the pool sent current through you to ground, why didn't your gfi trip?

One other update regarding the pump programming. After some playing and testing I believe I finally know the issue. I'm not sure if this is by design, or a bug or what. For my filter (Intex eco 15110-2 sand filter pump with saltwater system), essentially you have to program the pump timer first...

Thank you! That's what I ended up ordering after some further research. I'll report back.

Hello all, Had two quick questions I wanted to try and gain some insight and thoughts on. I have an Intex Ultraframe XTR 12x24 pool with a sand filter and saltwater chlorinator (all packaged together.) I would like to upgrade from the over the wall skimmer to an inwall skimmer. Does the pool...

Next update. After backwashing and rinsing the sand, I did notice a little more sand get into the pool, it seems to dump a good bit after backwash/rinses. So I took apart the filter, dumped the sand, inspected center post and latterals, etc. All look to be good. Then, I decided to go check the...
