If you can find the liner "which I doubt" it will cost nearly as much as a new Intex pool. Sorry.

Question Recently finished a slam on the pool, check my sig below for specs. The water is clear, but if you run your hand under the waterline and over the walls of the pool there is some sort of scaly white substance on the pool walls, it feels rough to the touch and when it flakes off it...

Level Level Level- This will be the hardest task. The gorilla pad is not for comfort, it is to prevent rocks-grass etc from coming up under the pool. I have one under mine. The pink foam is for comfort. I used crusher run with fines for my base, once in and compacted it is like concrete and...

Get as much of the **** out of the pool as you can, you will need less bleach that way. It is my understanding that the algae will hide under the debris making it harder for the bleach to get in there and kill it. I cleaned mine as best I could "not being able to see the bottom" and once the...

I get mine at HEB or Walmart, little less than $3 per 121fl oz bottle, I prefer HEB concentrated.

Very nice

Welcome Book03, read around the forums or do a search on Intex here on the forum and you will find some great articles telling you how its done. Look up my name and check out my intex vs polygroup article and you will get an idea of the work involved. The most important part of the install is...

It takes time for the filter to clean the water, mine is still a little cloudy, remember how long it took to get this way, it will take some time to clear.

Pool water was 80 today, but we have had 4 inches of rain in the last few days and the yard is a swamp right now.

Can't wait to swim.

Looking good and I feel your pain, however when laying on your back in the pool with a cool drink will be your reward :)

Slide the end of the Intex hoses over the return jet and skimmer on the pool and use a hose clamp, they fit just right. Dont use the screw on part at the pool. Those are only used to connect to the filter, you can let the grey couplers slide down the hose where they connect to the pool.

CH? Calcium Hardness? What is your FC and are you keeping it at slam levels?

This is what I did, I am sure some would still say to use sand, but it is your choice. I like the crusher and the feel of the foam under foot.

You will need to do a search on Intex and then look through the articles. You can also check YouTube for some tutorials on how others hard plumbed thier pool.

Ditto.. keep the faith

FC 5 CC less than .5 Water-Crystal Clear All told it took about two weeks and lots of bleach, but it was worth the work, I have sparkly clear water. Now what do I do...It is still too cold to swim :(

I would skip the sand, use crusher run as your base and to level all the poles. Then lay down the foam, tape the seams, tarp on top of that and setup the pool.

Is that a cartridge filter or a sand one?

Welcome

Done, too much good information here and great people not to do so would be.. bad :)

Polygroup is NOT an Intex pool, they are different companies. And yes you will not be happy with that pump, but it should last the season, then you can look into getting perhaps a sand filter or something along those lines. I have the same pool and have been very happy with it. Just make sure...

Better every day, I am going to give it another week or so to clear. Gonna adjust my CYA how high should I shoot for? 30 or 40? Keeping my FC at 3 or should I go 4? THanks

Passed the OCLT last night.

Contact a septic system installer.

In a word no.

Use this device from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/GAME-4552-Filter-Adapter-Bestway/dp/B004TY7S26/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8 Slip the ends of the Intex hose over the new connector and use a hose clamp, this is how I do mine.

Good news this AM I can now see the liner at the bottom of the pool, still awful cloudy but getting better every day, having to add less and less bleach every day to keep it at 10. I modified my SLAM value when I tested the CYA it was only 20, so I lowered the SLAM level and will deal with CYA...

When using the pavers I would recommend digging down and then putting some crusher run or crushed limestone under the pavers. Wet the crusher run and compact well, place your paver on the compacted crusher run, and level it with the rest of the foundation. This should keep the pavers from...
