Thank you! I spent hours trying to find someone else that had done something like this and finally decided to make my own. The only reason I went with Summer Escapes was the price was at least $200 cheaper. I had no clue what I was getting into until I bought the pool. It turned into way...

If you go back a few posts I have a photo of what the skimmer looks like. I didn't remove or augment the skimmer opening. I only removed the skimmer pump components.

My guess is that it's your light and steps causing your issue. I've read a few times on this forum where the light has been the issue that is often overlooked. Do whatever you can to get that clean! Can you remove the steps to clean? Maybe some different sized brushes could be needed to...

I had this issue last year for a while and found that it was because I had let the chlorine level drop too low for a couple days on accident because I had not tested the CYA properly. I decided after slamming that I was going to shoot for 2ppm higher than all of my FC targets to be safe. So...

I went through your same trouble last year when I changed from the cartridge filter to an intex sand filter. Had I known it would be such a PITA I would have just bought an intex brand pool from the start. I decided to make my own system because I couldn't find any easy solution that I could...

Thank you for this! Had no clue they had copper ionization in my unit until I read through the manual. I was like "wth, they don't say anything about this on the outside of the box! I don't want copper in my TFP." They must have started putting the copper generators back in the Intex SWG...

Sad that one of the test kits could diagnose their issue in minutes and would have them fixing it in no time. But if there is that much algae in there, it will be a while to get it all filtered out. I don't know how they thought it would be nice and blue and clear in one day. Sent from my...

Someone send them the TFP method......any way to link the site to the Olympic committee? They need to start slamming!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Imagine all the people using the reasons stated in the mainstream articles to explain why their home pools turn green. "Honey, our pool is green! Oh it's ok, I seen on the olympics that it was just a pH/alkalinity issue. They said it was safe to swim in too. The pool store facebooked that...

Materials: •1 1/2" PVC pipe - won't need more than a few feet tops. Just enough to connect everything you see (will need a pvc pipe cutting tool if you don't have one) •maybe 6" of 1" PVC pipe •PVC T-fitting with 1 1/2" on both ends and 1" on the other end •one 1 1/2" valve •one 1" valve •flex...

So I just realized I posted as my pool was summer escapes. It is a summer waves pool. Sorry for the confusion! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe that a lot of these questions have pretty good answers over here concerning both the old skimmer design and the new skimmer design if you are interested: Summer Escapes 18'x48 Summer Escapes 18'x48 I have since added some PVC and different valves to be able to hook up a cleaning...
