Does anyone have a resource for best practices equipment for a new in ground pool build? I need info on heating systems, in floor pool cleaners vs. robot, and ladders and accessories. We just renovated our kitchen and I feel like it was relatively easy to research appliance brands, locations of...

Hi All, we opened the sand filter last night after having flow issues...it basically works for 15 minutes then quits. We have very high pollen, it was caked on top of the sand...we scraped off that layer, added more sand and it worked better last night. I added a pool sock over the poolside...

Our brand new sand filter(came with the 12x24x52 xtr) seems to be having a hard time keeping up with the obnoxious amount of tree pollen. For example I run the filter for about 4 hours and then it looses suction power and needs to be backwashed. Is this normal in high pollen areas or are we...

Hi All, We are almost ready to install our 12x24x52 intex pool. Just waiting on a company to do the final level and the town permit. Question: we are not planning to get a heater, we only plan to use it on hot summer days and we feel like at 48 inches deep(for the water level) it should be ok...

Hi All, I’ve read through a bunch of other threads, but just want to make sure we are doing this right. We have the Intex ultra xtr 24x12x52 with sand system arriving this week. We live just outside of Boston, so this will be strictly seasonal. We normally belong to a pool in the summer, but I’m...
