Thanks again for ALL the responses! Your advice is invaluable! Well, it's working beautifully. Here's what I did: Dropped the level of the pump about 8" Re-plumbed the section that was leaking Added a ball valve (being a novice I realized I put the valve between the pump and the union instead...

Thanks for the quick replies! I did notice a couple of drips at joints - I'll fix those tomorrow. AND I did not check or lube the o-ring - I'll do that tomorrow as well. Thanks again! Love this forum!

Hello All, We finally got our new AGP up and running. We purchased a 18x33x54 oval saltwater pool from The Pool Factory and finally get it installed and filled. I piped the plumbing system using SCH40 2" PVC, mainly because Lowes and HD were out of 1.5". The pump is a 1.5HP Hayward PowerFlo...

We're looking for a metal wall pool but want to keep using salt water. Thanks for the quick response!

Some of the supports broke on our Intex pool so we're looking to replace it. I'm planning on installing the new pool myself and I'm looking for recommendations to hear what others are using, where you bought, and how it's working. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks for the referral. I ordered an SJ40, should have it in a couple of days. I'll post pics when I get it set up! Thank you all for the great advice. Love this site!

That is what I was wondering about. I am quickly becoming "not a fan" of the Intex stuff, but the unit was the least expensive and, for the most part, we were really happy with the SWG attached to the Intex pump. Should I be looking at a compatible Hayward SWG? Thanks for your input!

The weir door is moving and looks to be operating normally. I'll take some pics tomorrow morning and post them. I've looked at all the joints and don't see any leaks. I also made sure that all the threaded fittings are nice and tight. Thanks for your input!

We have an Intex 16x32 UltraFrame and are going on our third season with it. I put 2x12 pieces under the metal supports and they have held up nicely. I have heard horror stories about using pavers under the supports so we opted for wood and have had no issues. I also put 4x8 foam sheets under...

I upgraded our Intex pump to a Hayward 1.5hp pump and sand filter and wow, what a difference! I've been running the pump continuously for about a week to get the water clear and clean. Well, today I connected and started up the SWG, which is an Intex 26665EG Ozone Saltwater System and now I'm...

Still a work in progress but here it is.
