    Hayward Aqurite issues

    I am having issues with my Hayward Aquarite system again. This spring at startup it would not generate. I tried the power limiter replacement, was not the issue so I ended up replacing the board. It has been running well since then. Now over the weekend we had a large rain (3") and when I...

    Hayward Aquarite issue

    So I have read the many threads about the Hayward Aqurite issues and the current limiter needing to be replaced. But none of the symptoms seem to match what I am seeing with mine. The pool and system were here when I purchased the house last year so I do not know much of the history. Used the...

    Liner Question

    So bought my house end of last summer, it included a 16x36 in ground pool. Been using the TFP method on it and it has been going well. The pool is about 10 years old and I know the liner is getting up there in age. I have noticed that in two of the corners there is a slight gap that has...

    In-ground pool "inspection"

    So my wife and I are looking to purchase a house that has an in-ground pool. While I have learned a lot about pools from this forum over the last 2 years, my experience has been limited to my Intex above ground. We have inspections at the house tomorrow but my inspector does nothing with...

    Ultra frame connection covers

    So I was browsing around looking at pictures of intex pools and noticed several pictures of ultra frame pools with what looks like covers that go over the frame connector. It looks like they also "plug" the openings created in the liner near the frame connectors. Has any one else seen these...

    Pool startup water problems

    Help! I have an Intex 14' ultra frame pool. Just put it up yesterday (previously had just a 10' ez-set). Started filling it last night with our well water, the same water we used for the ez-set. We got the pool about 1/3 of the way full last night and all was looking good. I added the...

    Filter size

    We purchased an Intex Ultra Frame pool this past fall. It's the 14'x42" model. Of course it came with the cheap little cartridge filter. I am planning on purchasing a sand filter for it. My question is size. I know the 1200 and 1500 GPH pumps will handle it, but would there be a detriment...

    Placing an Intex pool on some fill

    Had a small Intex 10’ Easy set pool this year and my daughter just loved it. Yesterday I ran across an Intex Ultra Frame 14’ at Target on clearance for $95. I could not pass it up so it followed me home. My wife and I have been debating between going to a full blow above ground next year, but...

    Best time to buy

    First let me introduce myself, I am a noob when it comes to pools. My wife and I bought a small Intex Easy Set pool this spring for our daughter. A friend of mine told me about this site a few weeks ago, so I have been reading and absorbing as much info as I can. Well, we did not know our...
