    Sad...may not be able to do pool this year.

    I have had two intex pools for a total of 5 years. I love setting up and taking care of my little pool for 2 or 3 months every summer. My next door neighbors, who also had an intex of their own, moved this winter and their house sold fast. New neighbors have little ones, a 3 year old and two...

    Have you tried it out yet? I just posted something about what kind of vacuum I should get for a smaller intex pool. I just might try this!

    What's a decent vacuum for smaller pump?

    Hi, I have always used the water hose vacuum "splasher vac" but am ready to get something that doesn't add more water to the pool. I have a 1000/gph Intex pump. What vacuum can I get? I've read mixed reviews on both the intex vacuum for smaller pools and the skooba small pool vac. Thanks...

    How to connect two intex pumps to use at the same time?

    Glad I asked...Thanks everyone! The bigger pump is fine for now, and I'll just keep the small one for backup just in case. Just started filling today, yay!

    How to connect two intex pumps to use at the same time?

    Hi, I have a 12x36 intex frame pool. For the first year, I used the pump that came with the pool. Not sure exactly but I believe it was less than 1000 gal/hr. Not as good as I wanted but I tested and adjusted my water daily and never had water issues. After that a friend who had a bigger...

    Sharp Rock under Intex Frame Pool Can I use side wall patch?

    Re: Sharp Rock under Intex Frame Pool Can I use side wall pa Either patch material with the underwater glue will work well. I had a couple holes in my first intex and the patch job I did held up great. It's still early in the season, and since there's a possibility of more rocks working their...

    Help with leveling on the cheap!

    Is there any way you can dig to level instead of level with sand? Everybody here is going to tell you not to level with sand but to dig your high areas to match the low. As far as an alternative to pavers, someone on here previously posted a setup where they used somewhat thin (1/4 inch thick)...

    Yet another paver question...advice, please!

    Hi, I am a five-year intex owner and really wanting to do it right this year. I have my ground level, pavers buried. My question is after layering tarp, foam board, then another tarp, what is the best way to keep track of where the pavers are so that when I set up the pool the legs are at the...
