I actually went to Home Depot and couldn’t find anything to fit. Is there a handy guide somewhere?

My sand saltwater system gave out and so I relplaced it with a separate filter pump hooked up to my old sand filter and a new salt water chlorinator. I have one short hose from the old set up but it’s too short and this is what my hoses are doing right now. It looks so ridiculous. Does anyone...

I opened it up and tried to fix it... now it does nothing lol I unplugged something somewhere I guess. I will just get a new crappy pump and reuse the sand filter. do I need a specific size pump for the sand filter or does it really matter?

So we have an above ground pool 14ft round ultraframe thing. We got a used huge (7000 gallon) filter/sand/salt pump off craigslist about 4 years ago and it has been doing ok. It pumped well and once we cleaned the salt chlorinater cell last summer it seemed perfect after slamming and getting my...

so, I should now slam it based on the chart or the calculator? Since I started with no FC? Or is the water being clear good enough? I know I need to retest Ph and alk after slamming but at this point do I need to? Thanks so so much for your help!

I just did chlorine test and got: 8.5ppm FC .5 CC so now thr calculator says to slam it I need a much higher FC is that because of the cya?

Ok I finally tested cya accurately I have 80... Should I take out the bucket with the undissolved cya now? I followed the calculator but I guess we over shot a little.

Ok I will do that.

I put cya in last night.. It hasn't dissolved. I tested it and got some cloudiness but not enough to know the levels but I went ahead and put in the bleach recommended to slam it in according to the app. Waited about an hour for it to circulate and tested it. It is now 4ppm FC .6ppm CC should I...

Well, I drained down to the outlets, fixed a pole that was bothering me and started filling it. I went to the pool supply place and he tested my salt and it was low so, I added a bag of salt and the pool is refilling I am dissolving the conditioner in a bucket with the the suction in it since I...

Yeah, I was confused by that one. I havnt ever added any. I was gonna ride. To the store and get some. - - - Updated - - - Pool has been up about a month, we have gotten some rain, it looks clear, the water got cloudy a few times and I just dumped some bleach in. I had problems with algae last...

My signiture is not showing so I am commenting it. I have an intex above ground almost 4000 gallon pool with a sand and salt intex filter system and another intex pump I use sometimes.

So, I am not new to having a pool and usually I just guess at what it needs. So far this year it has been clear getting cloudy once or twice but cleared up on its own. I have an intex swg but I am pretty sure it's not doing anything. I got some crappy test strips and the chlorine didn't register...
