OK, so, this is typical for me, after winter, leaves that had been on top of the cover, with water draining thru, will leave my water typically on the black side. I have not yet started up the filter, but that will be in the next day or so. Can I filter this out, along with using shock? or do...

I am looking to get a vacuum for my older doughboy. I have the one I used on the old intex, but not doughboy. I don’t need one that works by it self, just one I can manually use. Any suggestions on what to look for? yhere Is a port on the skimmer inlet for one. Standard doughboy skimmer...

I just noticed my swg is flashing green then red on the flow light. I checked my inlet and I have plenty of flow, I backflushed my filter to make sure that wasn’t it, I pulled my flow meter and I did have a chunk of rusted metal beyond the flow meter from my old water heater (which i shouldn’t...

Yes, I do have a bypass on it. I am running about 3/4 through the bypass, I will see what it does when run at full bypass. When I had 1st noticed it, the swg was on but the salt and cell lights where off, generating light on, but no bubbles. I have it set at 3/4 as I am still trying to figure...

Hi all, I finally got our pool going, it took me a bit to re-level, hard plumb, and get everything setup. I did see some people with similar issues, but I am not sure what my options will be. when I run my pump on the low speed setting, after 30minutes, I get a large bubble in my swg. When...

Thanks for all the info. you guys have been.

One more question, so the way i figure it, my pool is roughly 7K gallons. If I got an swg that can handle 15-16K is that all I would need, or is it better to go to a 20K unit? Thanks

Well, I think I have an idea. I have an older Hayward pump I had bought to run a heating system that really didn’t work, it’s been collecting dust the last couple of years. I’m thinking of opening up the Intex, and running the pump wiring out to the Hayward, need to check the specs, but might...

Hi all, I have an Intex 18’x52” ultra frame pool with 5e above listed pump. It’s only just starting it’s 3rd year, and the pump motor has failed. I replaced bearings, and within 30min, went from quiet to noisy, to not turning. My thoughts when I had the motor apart, was that the windings must...
