    Suds and body oil on pool surface

    Duraleigh, I take no offense ! I was following pool store advice and I see where that got me ! I will do all of my own test from here on out ! I'm reading all I can and applying all I can .

    Solar heater bypass ?

    Jason, Thanks for the info . I guess I'll pull out the old ones and hook them up . They seemed to work pretty well . Plug holes as needed ! On a good note the pump is on a timer now . Pool is crystal clear and balance . 85 here today ( Maine ) think I'll just kick back and enjoy the pool...

    Solar heater bypass ?

    The heaters were a gift . I do have a set of the 2x20 longer black ones ( few leaks ) I have a 1 hp Hayward pump . In setting I have it in now I see no difference in temp from return . Change setting blow hose off ! Before I hard plumb want to see if these 2 little heaters are even worth it !

    Pool is all up and full

    Thanks for the reply . The leg is dead on left to right just off front to back . My thinking is with some swimmers it may push out a little . Just want it to be safe for the little ones !

    Intex 22x52 ?

    So if I'm reading this correct it should still be a simple plug and play . Just use the intex fitting with my Hayward hoses and all should be good ?and if I decide to swap out the fittings just need to make my own gasket ?

    Intex 22x52 ?

    Looking at the intex pumps does the 3000 make sense ? For this pool ? Matched with the 15000 salt water system ? Gonna let my Hayward pump sit and see how this works like the plug and play with no cutting or making my own adapters Also does the 22x52 come with the floating skimmer basket or do I...
