thanks for the info. the previous pool was an intex, I had switched it to an intex swg and sand filter, the old intex pump had died, so did the swg, so I went with a new swg, a new pump a couple years back, and still the exisiting sand filter. I had heard/read it is more efficient for water...

maybe I should have looked at one of my old ? this might be the correct fitting. https://www.amazon.com/PACK-Hi-Temp-Union-Whisperflo-Intelliflo/dp/B00AKMV4K8?pldnSite=1

Hi all, I am in the middle of getting my pool setup, and I am running 2" pvc to hard plumb. My pump is a Tidal Wave 2 speed, and I currently have it setup to be used with my old intex. so, the pump has adapters that screw in and accept the intex flex hoses. I am converting it to the 2" pvc...

Hi all, going from an intex to a dougboy. I have alot of work to do to reprep the site, level, ect..... So, I am trying to figure out where I want to put my pump, sgm, and sand filter, along with mostly hard plumbing the pool with pvc. The wife is also having me put in a heater. So, was...

HI, all. I decided my intex ultra has had it. I found an older, but in good shape doughboy 18'x48". it needs a new liner. with all the resin shortages, liners are getting hard to find, but places have orders coming in. Any recommendations on brand/thickness? 20mil/20gauge 25 gauge? I am...

Just ordered the sj-35. Now the work begins. I need to move the pool over about 4’. I have a maple tree that is next to the pool that blocks a lot of the sun. The pool stays pretty cool all summer. 72 even when hot, most of the summer it seems to 68 or less. Lol. The 4’ move will...

Thanks for the input. I would rather spend a little more and get something that I know will work over time. The intex pumps I have had may last only 2-3 yrs, same for the swg as well. I allready have an aftermarket 2 speed pump, that is working nicely. I will look into the circupool swg’s.

Hi all. I have been running the typical intex above ground ultra pools for a number of years now. I live in Wisconsin, so we normally only get 3-4-4 months of use based on our yard for pool temps. My issues are with my latest intex Krystal Clear saltwater system. it was purchased on...

Ok, I have an old intex that may work for a bit, not sure if the hoses are the same, from an older pool. But, I would like to add a decent filter/pump, the intex ones never seemed to move much water. Also, I am going to run a solar pool heater option on my roof, so I need to be able to push...

Hi all, just got the pool put back up last week, filled with H2O, and finally got a chance to get the pump and SWG all set up, new o-rings, etc... One problem, my pump dosen't work. Must have been the 60+ days of -0° weather this past winter. (pump was dry before storing) Anyways, I am new to...

Hi all, new here. Been trying to figure some things out, but not much time to do so. I have a Ø18'x52" ultra frame SWG setup with the stock pump. I'm in Wis. so the water stays cold until mid july. I did see a video on making a solar heater for it, which is easy enough to do. My questions...
