Last year at this time my husband and I were just installing our 16' x 48" Intex AGP. We left it up, covered and running the Intex SWG through the mild southern CA winter. The water has been clear, no problem with chemistry. I may have cleaned the filter and SWG once or twice during the winter...

Through the Wall - NEW Hayward SP1091LX Dyna-Skim Above-Ground Pool Skimmer and Accessory Kit I purchased this 'through the wall skimmer,' a few months ago, new, on Amazon .com. Never used. By the time I decided not to install it, it was too late for a return. I'd like $40.00 but I'll take...

I have a 16 foot round, 5,000 gal intex ultra frame pool. It has a solar cover on it when it is not in use. The pool itself is in shade most of the day - there is bright sun 20 feet away from the pool, but the pool temperature is around 69 degrees. The pool is not close to any gas lines, so it...

For our Intex 16 foot above ground, round pool with no deck, and very little storage space, my husband and I decided to go with the Solar Roller Coverstick, by SolarFacory, to remove our solar cover. It has worked very well for us, we use it, once or twice a day, everyday. The attachment...

Has anyone innovated a solar cover reel for small AG pool (mine's 16' round) with no deck and not much space around the pool?

Intex Deluxe Wall Mounted Skimmer Hose Adaptor, connected to pool's strainer connector outlet to pump and filter

We had our pool up for 13 days everything was fine. Then the inlet valve at our skimmer basket started to rattle and make whiney sounds. We use to burp the filter a couple of times a day and the water would come out after a second or two - now when we bleed it, it takes 30 seconds or more for...

Yesterday we hooked up our band new Hayward XStream cartridge filter and Hayward 2 speed Power-Flo Matrix pump, along with our intex SWG. Everything looks good, quiet, water circulating, but no psi reading on the filter gage. I didn't find anything in the manual as to what the psi should be...

We filled our new 16' X 4' Intex Ultra Frame pool, about 15 hours ago (yesterday evening), the new Hayward pump and filtration system is giving us problems. The water was circulated with no chemicals for 3 hours. We shut it off and retired for the night. The filter needs to be drained and the...

I purchased a a really nice Hayward heavy duty pump and filtration system (see signature below). Do I still need the through the wall skimmer if I want to get an Aquabug vac in the future? Thanks.

How does one cover the above ground pool with an A-Frame ladder in it? In southern California we get some heavy duty winds and I would like to keep the debris out. Thanks.

My husband and I had our gardener level our non-sodded space. Then my husband and I dug out paver holes, leveled them and placed the pavers -- lot's of hard work and we're going through a heat wave. Did I mention we are elderly? Anyway, some of the pavers were a 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch off and we...

My husband and I were meticulous in the ground prep for our new pool. We have put down a tarp and two Gorilla pads. We have filled the pool to just a little past the drain valve - found a leak there, my husband tightened the valve and the leak stopped. I decided to check around the bottom of...

Hi from sunny Southern California. My husband and I, and our gardener, are in the process of preparing and leveling ground for our 16' x 48" 5000 gal. Intex Ultra Frame ABG. I read previous posts about putting the legs on pavers that are sunk level into the ground - and I saw some mention of...

After reading a post here on TFP, on how much better the Intex (gray) Ultra Frame is compared to the Intex (blue) Metal Frame, I'm very interested in possibly taking that route to my new AG pool. I watched the YouTube video on setting up the Ultra Frame pool and I see there is a...

Why do so many recommend sand filter for AG pools? From what I read one has to backwash frequently and there has to be someplace for the backwash to go. I also read that the sand filter is the most porous and allows bigger particles to pass through causing cloudy water. What am I missing here?

Now I'm thinking about getting a cheap Intex 12' x 30" round. My dog needs therapy, and I'm looking for something that will last a few months. I have heard that the pump that comes with the pool usually does not last more that 30 -60 days then it dies, just under warranty. I do not want a...

I'm a new member - not a pool owner yet. I'm very interested in getting an Omega 12' round by Splash - but I can't find them anywhere. I'm in Southern California. I have an Australian Shepherd that needs pool therapy. Does anyone know where I can find one online? I have tried the Splash web...
