I have been vacuming and vacuming but I can't seem to get the green stuff to go away. It will go away for a few days, but then it will come back slowly over time like 3-7 days or so. The water is clear however the bottom of the pool has green stuff that if you disturb it wil cloud up. I...

Hi Glitter Girl, welcome to tfp. Imho I would go with the swcg like Bama Rambler said. As long as you dont mind your water tasting a little bit salty it is by fare the best way to go. The Pool store we purchased our pool from tried telling us how great this aqua smarte system was, which is...

First off let me say that you are going to love your new intex swg, I just installed ours about three weeks ago and i love it. I hope you got the 2009 8110 model as it dose not have the copper plates that you do not want. You can add the salt before the swg gets there if you like. You want to...

We used half city water and half well water to help cut down on having to pay for a lot of water to be hauled in. When it came to filling using the well water I went out and bought a filter from gander mountain that just hooked up to the end of the garden hose. This works very well from...
