Re: Intex Above Ground Pool Solar Heater connection questi That is great! Unfortunately it snowed on us a little here in Boise ID, so my pool is still COLD... You will love the extra heat from the second panel.

Re: Intex Above Ground Pool Solar Heater connection questi Hello f3justusc, can you see the picture in the original post, you might need to be logged in?? If you can, it would be the valve in the little orange pipe that is drawn in. So yes, I did put in a bypass, so I can just run my pump...

Unfortunately, I do not think it is one you can just go pick up at a store. But, I think you could buy a normal o-ring. Make sure it fits the diameter of the hose, by that I mean it should be the same diameter of the 6way intake valve, don't make it smaller, as it would just go into the...

we got the 2650gph sand filter last year. I also noticed that the pressure reading seemed to be on the very high side of the Green, almost touching the Yellow. All I can say is that after many backwashes, probably around 7 or so, the pressure reading was about in the middle of the Green area...

Sorry, forgot to add a few things. We bought on-line and it was delivered (delivery was $10 special) to our driveway in 2 huge boxes. Online is always cheaper.. I have only had a Salt Water Generator. I say that is the way to go. I always checked the levels, and never had any PH, chlorine...

We live in Boise, ID. We upgraded from our Intex 15'x48" a year ago. We opted for the Intex Ultra 16'x32'x52" couldn't be more pleased with our decision. It came with a 2650gph sand filter and Salt Water Generator. This pump is all you need for even this size of a pool. If you search...

Re: Intex Above Ground Pool Solar Heater connection questi Hello, I think having a dedicated pump for your Eco Solar panels will be more than enough power. Also, I think your 9x18 pool will be very warm once you get started. Like it was stated, more water flow the better. once it's all up...

Hello, I currently have an Intex Ultra Frame 32'x16' with a 2650GPH sand filter with salt water Chlorine Generator. I had hooked up my 4'x20' solar panel to this. I was wondering since I have it all taken apart, because of winterizing, if there is a better way to connect the heater. Currently...

Re: We are looking at buying the Intex 32x16x52 pool? Sugges Hello, We bought the 32'x16' Ultra rectangular pool last year. Upgraded from the round 15' one. I can say we could not be any happier with the purchase. Look for the good deals. We got ours for ~1400.00, that included the...

Re: Above Ground pool Automatic Vacuum questions for Intex P Hello, Most automatic vacuums that you can buy come with the hoses. the one that I purchased had ~30feet of hose and also a through wall skimmer attachment (which I did not need, since I have only the intex skimmer) the hose will...

Re: Above Ground pool Automatic Vacuum questions for Intex P Well since I didn't get many replies.. :) I just decided to purchase a Baracuda Zodiac Ranger a few days ago. The day it came, I put it into the pool. I just took the pool cover off for the first time, so it was pretty dirty...

Hello, I have an Intex above ground pool. I am wanting to get an automatic suction vacuum for it, since manually vacuuming is very tedious. I am having a hard time finding one that would "work" with this system. It would be considered a soft sided pool, I think... The specs to my pool are...

Re: Solar reel for an Intex Above Ground Pool, has anyone se Did it come with the attachments for an Intex pool? I looked at their website and owners manual, and it did not have anything on Round tube connections. Thanks Tony
