Thank you. I'm going to try to set it up today.

Oh, I'm so glad I asked. Can I also purchase a discharge hose at Lowe's or do I need to order online? Upon inspection the other day I noticed I also need a regular pool hose to connect from the pool to the pump. It has a crack in it. I actually haven't seen them in our local Lowe's. We...

Hi everybody! I took your advice and purchased the Intex 2,650-Gallon Sand Filter Pump . It should be here tomorrow. I'm sure the instructions will say what sand to buy, etc., but I would rather listen to your opinions as you have the tried and true experiences. I had a cartridge pump...

Thank you! :)

I don't know if you remember, but I sent a short video of my pump at the end of last summer. It was making a loud noise. I'm not even going to try it when I open the pool. It was the original that came with my Intex in 2009 or 2010. Would you please give me your opinions on what I should...

You have been great...thanks. Hope you feel better!

Well, I'll definitely give it a shake before buying another one! :-D

I checked for any particle of anything and found nothing. I ran the pump without a filter for a short time, but it still was noisy. I replaced the filter instead of cleaning it and still noise. When I open the valves, just water runs out, not air. ???

Okay, home from work and I'm going to check out all of the suggestions. Thanks.

Gonna try one more thing before I head to work...I'm hoping to get this to you so I can work on it when I get home! http://www.flickr.com/photos/87398660@N06/8001501369/

ugh, obviously I did it wrong. I am so sorry to take up this room with mistakes. :oops:

Still not sure if I did this correctly as I still wasn't able to see the size change when I right clicked although I changed the quality to medium hoping that would downsize it a little. In regard to what I'm using, I'll admit it is the first time using Flickr, but it does say "Flickr" at the...

I appreciate your post, but when I right click it does not give me the option to select an image size as step 2) says, it only gives me a menu that includes zoom in, zoom out, show all, quality, print, settings, and global settings. I thought maybe the quality what was I was supposed to select...

Thank you very much. I'll try that. Also a great idea to upload, but I tried and was unsuccessful. Can you give me a few tips to help upload? Thanks.

So this is the end of my 3rd summer with the original pump. Today it started running very loudly. It's still working, but it is loud. Is it getting ready to go out on me? I already replaced my SWG this summer, had water turn green and spent almost two weeks getting it perfect again...boy...

thank you...I'll keep it up!

wow, really? Okay, that makes me feel better. I'll keep at it.

Well, I decided to turn the SWG off. I am not having very good patience I guess. I tested this morning and cc is still 2. I thought I'd be okay by now. Is it normal for this to go on so long? I've been working on this since Sunday morning. I'll keep it at/above shock level I guess. Which...

Should I run the SWG or leave it off? I turned it back on, but then I realized that maybe I should leave it off!?

Thank you.

Hahaha! Jealous here. This morning at 6:15 it is still cloudy, but I can begin to see the bottom. What makes the cloudiness...all of the suddenly added chlorine or the algae? Shouldn't that be gone by now? I've used enough bleach! LOL FC is still remaining high, about 35 and CC appeared to...

The cloudiness is a concern to me. Is it okay to swim, and will it clear up? CC is still 0.5.

Water is still quite cloudy.

Okay, added bleach at 7:30 to get water over 21. I went by the 18 shock level, not the mustard algae number at the bottom of the pool calculator. I guess I should've gone with the higher number. Anyway, I tested at 9:10 and FC is 25 and CC is down to .5. If cc stays down do you think a swim...

Ok, we'll do. I just finished another brush of the pool. Kinda hard cuz my pool wall is 4' and I'm only 5'! LOL I guess a Labor Day swim is out of the question! :( Thank you for your quick response!

I posted yesterday why I found a green pool. I kept pulling my FC back up yesterday until the last time last night. I tested this morning and FC remained at 20. I still have CC of 1.5 though. What is my next step? I don't want to take FC further than 20 do I? Please help! FC 20 CC 1.5 ph...

This is the third summer, and I have never had green water...well, guess what! I went out today and take a shot at what shade my water was! If it wasn't for this site I would've been in a panic, but I knew right where to go because of you fabulous people! I'm not sure what happened, but I...

Also, Bama Rambler suggested 2650 sand filter pump combo unit and the swg on the other board. It looks great too! Hmmm, all opinions very welcome to help this confused gal. I really love this board. You always help me so much! Thanks.

My pump is the original one that I purchased with my Intex 10x20 in 2010. I haven't had any problems really, but I am wondering since I saw a pump on clearance if I should replace it before I do start having problems. How long does a pump like this normally last? I don't want to spend extra...

Never mind...I just realized what it is...it's not an SWG...sorry for the confusion! Opinions not necessary unless you're going to blast me for not reading carefully! LOL
