Hi JShearer, I am looking at the same manufacturer and I just opened an Alibaba acct so I can send an inquiry. Do they deal with residential user 1 time order? How much did they quote you for shipping? Please update this if you decide to go with them this is an interesting thread since the...

Hi Pv2, The lawn is held down by 6 inch nails but it also have sand filler on it so I don't think the nail will come out and be a danger, I will let you know if that is not the case. Pool delivery was delayed, it is still waiting in transit. Hope it arrive by tomorrow so we can set it up in...

Anyone used FlowXtreme Cotton tails as replacement media for Sand or Cartridge filter? If so, what is your experience about it. I am thinking of upgrading to a sand filter if the filter that comes with the pool I bought could not keep up to the cleaning demand as the other users complain but...

Thanks!

I just ordered the Bestway Power Steel 13.91' x 8.2' x 39.5" Oval Frame pool from Walmart for my kids. I am expecting delivery by May 5th and hoping to have it setup and running by my daughter's birthday on May 8 to keep them busy and happy during the COVID quarantine period. The description...

Thanks Kellyfair, So, during initial setup you will bring the FC to proper level then just maintain it with SWG? Will this defeat the purpose of no chlorine smell?

Thanks!

For Temporary AGP vinyl pool owners (Intex, Bestway, Coleman etc.). After setting up the pool and filling it with clean city water for the season, do you have to shock it first or just add enough chemicals to recommended levels then maintain? How about for those with Saltwater Generators? Do...

My local Walmart store have a 10.5% pool chlorine and it is only $3.65 per gallon on the pool section. The regular clorox bleach at the laundry section is more expensive at $3.95 per gallon and it only have 6%.

Thanks Casey, I saw the recent picture you posted with a truckload of bleach on your 1st SLAM in 10 years. Does putting that much bleach makes the pool smells like chlorine or does the smell goes away once the water is balanced?

Thanks Phillbo, So with SWG you only need CYA and let the SWG take care of the chlorine? Do you feel the water to be softer to skin and hair using an SWG?

Ok. I'm about 3 to 4 weeks away from buying an above ground pool. Just, finishing up the area and will need to order road base and compact. I am thinking of having the following. Pool: Coleman 18' x 9' x 48" rectangular pool (3,913 gal at 90% capacity) SWG: Intex Krystal Clear SWG with...

Thanks!

Thanks Bama. From what I have read, you need to do a complete cycle the entire water in your pool. With that said, do I use the pump flow rate or system flow rate to calculate? Say I have 4000 gal of water If I use the pump flow rate of 1500 gph then it can circulate 6000 gal for the 4...

What is the difference between the pump flow rate as compared to the system flow rate. The pool I am planning to buy (Coleman 18' x 9' x 48") will come with a filter pump flow rate of 1500 GPH but a system flow rate of only 1050 GPH. So, for a 3,913 gallon pool (at 90% capacity according to...

Thanks!

After reading through the forum, I found out that it is advisable to add a board or paver under the support bars as it may sink with the weight of the pool. I will be putting up the pool on top of an artificial lawn so I cannot dig to make the board or paver flat to the ground. I have lot's...
