On my pool I have a Hayward skimmer with a 1.5 inch hose running to a 1.5 inch PVC pipe along the ground to a ball valve then a union where two 1.25 inch hoses go into a T fitting, through another ball valve (so I can turn off everything or just the skimmer) and then to the 1.5HP pump. 2 inch...

My testing was with the spa only on the timer. Once I get it all working, I do plan on adding a dedicated outlet just for this. I am going to try a new non- GFCI plug directly to the 20amp GFCI outlet and I ordered a replacement GFCI plug as well. After about an hour testing it with just the...

I posted in another thread about cleaning this thing up but now a new topic vastly different, so new thread. Got a new to me 4 person Intex PureSpa. Tub inflates and holds, holds water, have all the parts. Started with a E90 error and fixed that with a new impeller. Then started with E96 which...

Some good reading there. So, after I clean it and patch the air leak, fill with hose water and do the Ahhsome purge. After that, fill from the pool that already has a CYA of about 50 and TA / pH stable, do nightly testing and chlorine adding similar to how I do the pool? Target level of 4-6 with...

Got a nice free score of a Intex PureSpa with a E90 error. My research shows impeller damage, needing replacement. Sure enough the rod is broken and impeller falling apart. I already have a new one coming in. I have all the original parts that come with it and my limited testing shows it all...

I have used this for a couple weeks and have been impressed by it. It is a battery powered vacuum robot that rolls around the pool. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X6Y6WTG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thank you. I will get it plumbed in and can swap it out for the 1hp if I have any issues.

Current in place pump is fine size wise, I requested the 1HP pump as well and will try that one when it comes in. The amperage on the test one is 15.5 amp. I have a 20 amp outlet for it. So, the one return that is in the pool is fine and I can increase the number of supply sources to the pump...

I got this pump in today for to test and review. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B17Q9GVP Anyways, I have a Best Way 18" pool with two supply out of the pool at 1.25" each to a 1.5" union and the return to the pool is a 1.5". My current Proline 1HP pump is connected through some stepdowns and...

Yes, liquid stabilizer. It was with the opening chemicals in store. I used this: https://lesliespool.com/leslies-instant-pool-water-conditioner-plus-1-gallon/12323.html#description-btn-div The longevity of the stabilizer should be fairly stable. I was getting frustrated with how long it was...

On the chlorine, I did my first dose of chlorine using a left over jug from last summer. Worked just fine. As for the stabilizer, I used powder and could not get it to really increase, took a while to raise any at all. I pulled the sock out and poured in a appropriately dosed pool opener liquid...

Can you add a photo of what you have now with dimensions? I have a bunch of round Summer Escape legs for a 48" pool. That and a wood block will get you level. I see you are in MA. I am in Stafford CT, right off of 84.

I picked up a used sand filter and pump on facebook marketplace for $100. I then added a Haywood skimmer that I had to cut a hole for. This year, the liner was shot so we got a new Best Way pool. Still use the same filter and got a Intex over the side skimmer instead of cutting a hole. The used...
