5 gallon. And yes to the splashes.

Hello all! I decided to get some high concentrate liquid chlorine. I feel I am missing some vital information. Any tips on dispensing from the large jugs? I can barely lift it and do not feel like I am being quite precise when I pour some in. Are there any pumps or ... ? I don't know...

I have two kids who are on swim team. They have convinced their grandmother to purchase a swim spa. We currently have an intex 9x18 in the place where the swim spa would go. Does anyone have experience with swim spas? We live in NY, is it reasonable to think of this as usable three...

I have these http://www.poolandspagiant.com/product.asp?itemid=465&gclid=CjwKEAjwpYeqBRDOwq2DrLCB-UcSJAASIYLjN-CEEVzA0oV9lHDp96acZcCNuz4cqKFtfd7Q3wqG4xoC4nzw_wcB They only attach at the top so the sloped wall doesn't matter. I think I paid around 130 for them.

Me again. I left this up to my husband, and he choose to ignore it until after the pool season. Now we are looking to start up the pool, and are still staring at the same parts. Should I just try and dump this and buy a little intex sand filter? It really seems like overkill to have a 200lb...

I finally have pictures. This is the filter, the label is pretty worn. The most recognizable bit is "Rutgers St Belleville, NJ 07109". The pump is a Hayward.

Out neighbor put a working Hayward 1/2 HP pump and 200# sand filter on Craigslist. He ended up giving us a 3/4 one that siezed up as well. We have an Intex 15' pool with it's poor cartridge. I know we will need to tinker with hose fittings, but what other common pitfalls should we avoid? To...

I vote for treat the water. I am not an expert, but I have successfully run Intex pools for 8 years. Since you have already drained and refilled once, I'd be cautious about doing it again on a well, unless you are pretty confident you won't cause problems there. Swamps can be cleared. Plan...

Nice job, and thanks for the pictures!

It's frustrating, I know! My neighbors have a beautiful inground pool, and have not been able to use it this year due to water problems. They can't keep chlorine in it, and have both local pool stores dump whatever they recommended into it. Since we are newer pool owners with a 'toy' pool, my...

Re: Free Intex saltwater system ( Now $119) I can mail the screen shot to anyone who needs it, 11:30pm 7/27. I can't upload it because html attachments are disallowed.

Re: Free Intex saltwater system ( Now $119) I just went to pick up my shipment, and it was the SWG only. I explained the Sand Filter pump was needed, he called customer server and returned with instructions for me to call 1-800-966-6546. He stated that if I gave him the item number for the...
