Those things work great,the intex pools have something similar. Only problem I see with this one is wouldnt this help contaminate the water more? Like sappy things that fall from the tree,leaves,etc, Wouldnt it help that stuff circulate around the pool more? For right now I made a holder for my...

No,I dont think so. I have a skimmer box and a return hole,That's it. Its just a hose from the bottom of skimmer,to the pump jar thing,passes through the strainer on the pump "what I call the pump jar thing", then goes through sand filter to our chlorine dispenser,then right into the pool. I...

Ok, I just had the guy next door look at my pool as he has a similar 30' "mines 27" I told him about the problem on how it doesnt really draw things in the skimmer. So we sat there a wile and did the ping pong thing and watched how it circulated around and see if it would get sucked in,It did 1...

Everything seems to be working pretty good. I was just wondering on how long I should run my pump and filter? The neibor said he runs his all the time he said it was worth the extra money in electric to keep it clean. But im not sure if I want to run it all the time? I almost bought a timer at...

I got a 27' above ground pool and was wondering what btu heater would be good for my size pool. Im just kind of browsing around on what it would cost to put one in,They look pretty pricey :( But I seen they have electric,propane,natural gas and solar. I dont really have room for a big solar...

Just wondering what cool things people have for there pools. Im looking for a nice float lounger if you like yours let me know what you have. I seen those motorized chairs,They look more novelty then anything,but still pretty cool and look comfy,Anyone have one? I kinda want one but the...

Ok I made a vid it will be uploaded shortly,It just shows water level and where the door is when pump is running and how it draws water. From the video it looks like water is moving toward the box but doesnt have much pulling power stuff pretty much has to be touching the plate on the wall to...

Ok,that is great news about the motor,It says thermally protected so it should shut down if it ever became to hot right? I snapped in the floaty door and yes it does work much better,but I dont think it still right. How should the skimmer work,should it really pull things in from feet away,or...

Well I shut it down for the night,It ran for almost 2 hours and stayed at the steady temp at around 125 degrees. I read around the net where they get so hot and shut down,or start squealing or grinding causing the hotness but I have none of that and the return seems very powerful. You can hear...

I forgot to mention that it is a 27' pool and a Jacuzzi 1hp Pump I just checked the temp on the motor can its at 127 degrees,that to hot? after running 1 hour

I just got my pool up and running and had some questions. We just turned on our pump and filter and had it running for the first time. My first question is is it normal for the pump motor to get hot? I figure with all that water going through it,It should be pretty cool. But it gets pretty...

Like I said the housing where the gauge screws in is cracked up and leaks out,,Im fairly certain I can get a new gauge and some epoxy and should be ok. But im scared of the head leaking out of the waste hole and its going to be no good anyway? Im looking on a craigslist and someone is selling...

So you think the head is not broken just doing that because I moved it while pump is running and it will right it self after running a wile? Can you link me to a valve I would need to add,I think im going to do that,I dont like the fact that it will just leak out a ton of water and no way to...

Well I bought a used pool,its a 27' above ground pool. It came with a jacuzzi pump and sand filter. I think I got it hooked up right but im not sure if the sand filter head is any good? The guy was using it just up to 3 weeks ago,I know its old has a few leaks but it appeared fine when I seen...
