I have a “The Great Escape close to my house and because everything is way overpriced I never buy anything there other than my DE. However when I was in there today stocking up on DE I noticed 4 gallon packs of pool bleach 12.5% and discovered they were $14.99. Not super cheap but at $3.75 it...

OK thanks. I didn’t even realize that I was using a different calculator, I knew it looked different but thought it had just been updated (duh!).it even had a drop down menu to select Troublefreepool targets/“ranges”! Hopefully things will go better now!

Thank you that explains it then!! I have been using the recommended shock level shown in the calculator which I must now deduce is not the same as the recommended SLAM Level for FC?

Hi, I’ve been battling an algae/green pool problem for the last week and progress seems slow. Using the pool calculator I am given a SLAM target of 18 [my CYA is about 60). When I read at other threads I am seeing people talk about higher targets for lower CYA levels and am wondering whether my...

Hi, I need help as I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a new 24' AGP. It seems to have come down to the Matrix or the Sharkline, both about the same price of approx. $1800 for just the pool + skimmer. I have pump and filter. http://www.thepoolfactory.com/saltwater-8000-round.html...

Tinks Papa, I have had a Hayward h250 natural gas heater connected to my 20' round Intex for the last three years without any issue. I made no particular accommodations for it, it was initially connected with flexible hose but now is hard plumbed. I can take some photos tonight and post them if...

Re: Create intex adapters. Step by step. Lots of embedded ph Thanks Dave and Richard. I was trying to create something that would be useful and remain so without the reoccurring problem of photo links going "dead". It proved a little difficult with the 3 attachment upload limit so I apologize...

Was on a 20' pool, but I posted pictures of my install of a wide mouth skimmer about 2 weeks ago widemouth-skimmer-mounted-to-intex-above-welded-seam-t59150.html?hilit=skimmer%20ultra%20frame

Re: Create intex adapters. Step by step. Lots of embedded ph I just found another picture that shows what I meant when I said; "You also will want to leave a small gap that you can slip a saw into to cut the nut free should you ever need to re-plumb for any reason."...
