At the end of last season I posted about my Intex AGP and rust I got (yeah, ultra frame :() Intex was nice enough to send me replacement after I send them half of the pool assembly (6 legs, 6 t-joints, and 6 rail pieces). I did that including 6 plastic leg caps (it was all together). They sent...

Sorry, not quite sure about salt comment. This is a very small 2k gallon pool, and I'm just using whatever tiny filter pump it came with, running it 4hr a day and cleaning filter every week. Nothing more or less. Saltwater Chlorine generator would probably cost me 2x as much as I paid for the...

Just surface, but still this ain't right. From the other thread reply, sounds like Intex doesn't really give a cr@p about this, but will see. I will continue pinging them... At the same time, the price we pay for these pools is dirt cheap - so you get what you paid for. I just saw Target...

Looks like we got ultra frame tubes from the same batch :( Just posted a similar topic here: rust-on-ultra-frame-after-2-months-t53365.html - and this is after 2 months of hot NJ weather, not much of raining AND weekly visits to a local pool store to test water where they provided me with...

It was a great summer and kids enjoyed our 12'x36" intex ultra frame pool. This weekend I drained and took it down to find this: We are talking about pool that went up in the middle of June, and used during this hot Jersey summer and not too much rain. That doesn't sound/look right...

@jimmydont529: can you post pictures or some general instructions of what you did? Which replacement plug did you get, with amp rating to match timer, etc? I assume once you open Intex GFCI plug it will be easy to figure out which wire goes to which connector on replacement plug? Based on...

I did confirm it with someone who is not using extension cord and still has a problem.

If that's a case, which quite possibly could be, between people at my work and here at the forum we got 6 defective plugs :( I probably shouldn't be complaining considering how much this pool cost brand new and came bundled with a filter and a ladder, but still a bummer. I guess will have to...

Either unplugging the extension chord or timer off, that's the same line interrupt, ground or whatever (ground fault interrupter - the whole point of it). @danpik: can you look up please the exact brand and model of your timer? I am not doubting you, but you seem to be the only one with a...

Most of the people I talked to are having the same problem. GFCI on filter connector trips because timer in off state interrupts the ground. I just wish Intex would just provide a filter with a regular plug. Will try to call them tomorrow as well.

It just funny how $190 pool purchase turned into $2k+ project hiring contractor to build a patio lol!!! Those guys spent 2 1/2 days, 12 hours in first day to level everything, and another 12 hours in the next day to fill in and compact layers, and install pavers, and then 1/2 day to plant trees...

The timer I got is 15amp heavy duty outdoor by GE (http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R ... reId=10051). Correct, Test/Rest are GFCI components built into the chord. And it exactly how I discovered it, the Reset was tripping once I connect timer to the filter, and only worked once I...

A few weeks ago I introduced myself to this forum with should-i-remove-the-grass-t45953.html topic. I figured now its time to post a few pics since the pool has been up and running for a week. True, it's a small pool, but for starters with two little kids I figured it will last us for a few...

From the spec of my very basic Krystal Clear Model 603 filter pump which came with 12'x36" 2k gallon pool, it pumps at a rate of about 500 g/h, so I will need at least 4 hours for a full cycle. Would that be a recommend daily run of the filter or maybe add some margin to run it close to 5-6 hr...

Well, learned my lesson #2, oh and feel free to rub it in my face with "I told you so" :( I wasn't that concerned with a smell of the grass since I used two layers of heavy duty tarp with foam insulation in between. Also, my leveling measurements were done at 4 corners - big mistake. As I...
