    Minimum pool size - what?

    We currently have this pump for this pool. I'm having some issues with the SWG saying "low flow" after every swim causing me to need to backwash, and the output from the jets is also very low. I want to get this pump as I think it will be much better for the pool. Why does it say "minimum pool...

    Skimmer doesn't seem to be pulling anything?

    I've included 3 pictures and 1 video here Personally, I believe I did everything correctly, but I don't see the "swirling" I would assume to see on a skimmer?

    How powerful should the jet be going into the pool?

    Just checked @woodyp, it's actually slightly in the yellow right now at like 0.4 on the gauge.

    How powerful should the jet be going into the pool?

    I know this is going to sound terrible, but I recorded it after setting it up by writing it down on the documentation, and now I can't find it. All I remember is that it was in the green, and still is in the green.

    How powerful should the jet be going into the pool?

    I'm wondering if there's an issue with my pool/pump size? I can feel the jets outputting underwater, but I see no visible indication that it's outputting? I mean, should I be seeing water flowing around like in a jacuzzi, or is seeing nothing OK? Thanks!

    Skimmer doesn't seem to be pulling anything?

    I just got in this skimmer. I connected it to 1 of the 2 output pumps which go to the filter. It doesn't seem to be pulling anything into it. I watched a few bugs float over it, and even put my hand over it but nothing feels like it's being pulled under into it. Any ideas what could cause...

    1050gph vs 1600gbp - big difference?

    We bought this pool, and my dad had an extra SWG which does up to 15,000gallons that we are using. We got it all setup yesterday. Pool is crystal clear, water is full, pump is running and so is the SWG. We also bought this combo before we knew he had the SWG. I haven't returned it yet, but the...

    Are sand filters enough? Do I need chemicals and/or a salt water pump too?

    Oops just realized. I meant 115 pounds of salt in the pool.

    Thank you everyone! Also, @duraleigh and @VinnyinNJ would you recommend this one instead? https://www.amazon.com/Intex-Saltwater-System-Filter-Swimming/dp/B086XF1VCJ

    Are sand filters enough? Do I need chemicals and/or a salt water pump too?

    Hmm ok, thanks! I thought the one I linked would be good considered it was larger than the one they include. Going to place the order now and get going!

    Thanks for the reply! So do you think the sand + salt pump would be OK?

    Are sand filters enough? Do I need chemicals and/or a salt water pump too?

    Thank you! So the included filter would be fine to use as long as we used chlorine with the pool. If we didn't want to use chlorine or any chemicals, I'd buy that pump I linked and then salt and sand? It looks like I'd need about 115 pounds of sand dumped directly into the pool and mixed...

    Are sand filters enough? Do I need chemicals and/or a salt water pump too?

    Hi! We recently ordered this pool and are waiting for it to come. I've got the yard, and leveling figured out. My only question left is the filter. Is the included sand filter good enough? Should I also get a salt water system as well? With the sand filter, I'm going to use glass media. Just...
