I did a teardown and rebuild of my pump motor last year when the bearings went. I hope I can find those pics. It seems common for the bearings in the intex pump to fail after a year or so of use. They are very cheap and easy to replace over getting a new pump. My pump runs smoother and quieter...

Hi all. We had a long cold winter here in New Hampshire. I left my 1 season old intex up and it held up great. Unfortunately after being filled for a few says it must have resettled. Its almost 1 and a half inches off on 1 side. I have 3 kids and their friends in the pool all summer so I'm not...

Rinse that intex cartridge often. 2-3 times a day to help keep it filtering good. Not all the time just well your battling algae.

I would not use a bolt and thread it into the plastic/resin of the platform. It will become a problem sooner or later. I wonder if you took the bolts that hold the top u shaped pieces out if the platform would slid up to that point and then you could drill holes in the spots on the platform...

I did my sand filter pump bearings for about 5$. Good bearings cheap all over eBay. It's easy to do also.

I used intex cartridge filters for my first 3 seasons with a pool. The water never got clear and I had to run it 24/7 even then it would leave junk in the pool. Pulling it apart several times a week to rinse or replace the filter was also a pain. Last year we bought the intex 1,600gph sand...

Re: Intex Ultra Frame Rectangular Above Ground Pool, 24' x 1 Intex does have 2 different 24 x 12 kits on their site but I can't seem to find a model number on either. Here's the saltwater system maybe you can find a model number. http://www.intexcorp.com/index.php/home ... 979eg.html Either...

Re: Intex Ultra Frame Rectangular Above Ground Pool, 24' x 1 Here is the link http://www.amazon.com/Intex-Ultra-12-Fo ... roduct_top Only thing I did not notice yesterday is they are out of stock but it does state that it comes with the salt water system. I will look around and see if I can...

It's been a few years since I have had a easy set so at first I assumed over inflated, but after looking at a few pics on google I would say its made wrong. I can't see the ring not popping by that point if it was made right, but it could be plausible but I still doubt it. They need to contact...

Good to know, I was told to use the Vaseline on my o-rings a year or 2 ago on these forums. I got to say it worked and hasn't ruined anything, but I guess I was mislead by someone on here. Plus this seaon we bought a new intex and I haven't put any Vaseline on it. I believe I originally wound...

The ring is clearly way overinflated and the pool is not full, you need to let a lot of air out of the ring and fill the pool more.

Re: Intex Ultra Frame Rectangular Above Ground Pool, 24' x 1 It states in the description on amazon that it comes with the salt water system. Includes filter pump; saltwater system; ladder; ground cloth; cover; deluxe maintenance kit; volleyball set; DVD

I'm talking about the black piece at the bottom of the plunger valve in this link http://www.calsplash.com/intex-plunger- ... 05178.html

There's a grove/channel in the smooth part that the o-ring goes into, it sounds like you put it under the threads in between the hose and the threaded piece. That would explain the leaking.

I don't think it would help. When you connected the hose to the plunger valve did you have to push on it with a bit of force to get it over the black ring? I ask because with both my new and previous intex pools it took some force to get them to slide over the black ring, which it should...
