Hi all, My 4 year old Intex pump is working, but with no lights. No running light or display lights- Is this fixable? Thanks!

Hi all, My cover is slowly breaking down and its time for a new one. I am having trouble finding the inches/weight of the foam in the one I have- caldera kauai. Any tips on where to find this information? or what do I need in my climate? I live in zone 7, hardly any snow, I don't want to go too...

Hi All, I just used some ahh-some and cleaned out my hot tub and refilled. When I turn it back on at the breaker, the display shows me my set temp, actual temp, and then four dashes as it shuts down. I can hear the pump during the time before it shuts off and it doesn't sound the way it used to...

Is there a significant benefit to using the silver cartridges? I have had my tub less than a year and have used them, just not sure if they are much benefit. Thanks! Smitty

Hi all! I have a vinyl pool, so I don’t worry with calcium hardness for it, but I’m not sure if it is important for the hot tub-? Thanks in advance, and have a great weekend!

Hi! I am getting my used hot tub wired today, and I am leaving town for a week tomorrow. I don’t have a way to get ahhsome before then. My tub requires water for the electrical hook up. It’s a caldera Kauai. Can I put chlorine in there now and balance everything when I get home in a week? Or...

I need to replace my pump, I think. I have been researching and I believe that ideally I want a variable speed 3/4 hp pump. What type of swcg is best for 7500-8500 gallon agp? I eventually intend to upgrade to the shoreline matrix agp. thank you for your response, Smitty

Good morning. I have used my Intex 2650 pump with swg for three seasons. At the end of this past season it would run for about one minute then shut off. I cleaned everything with vinegar as advised with no change. Any ideas on next steps? Thank you.

Hi all- I have used my intex 2650 with swg for 3 seasons. At the end of this past season it would run for about one minute, then shut off. I cleaned all the parts in vinegar as suggested with no change. Should I invest more time into a fix? Would I even know if I have fixed it if it isn't...

Hi all, i am planning to upgrade from my 18' inflatable ring intex to an 18' matrix next year. Will my pump and filter support this pool? any suggestions on retailers also appreciated, if that's allowed here. Thanks!!

Hey pool school! i ordered my refills for my t-100 test kit. I didn't reorder the salt test kit or the cya "dummy". Do I need new of these items as well? thanks!

Hey, i had a 18' intex round inflatable easy set ring pool last year. The mice got into it over the winter and I ordered another 18' intex round inflatable easy set pool. The holes in this pool are smaller than last year's for the intake and outlet for the water. Can I cut them to fit my...

I picked up lithium grease for my gaskets. Then I read here, (one day I will learn...) Is this a bad product to use on my rubber gaskets? Thanks

Hi all, I am putting the pool away- top ring inflatable. Should I detach my pump from the sand filter? Do I do anything to the sand filter besides cover it tightly to protect against debris? Thanks for being awesome.

First, thanks everyone for such great advise! We had a wonderful pool season because of you. Are there any special procedures I should know about when draining and taking down/storing my pool? 18' round intex with an inflatable ring. Sand pump and swg. Thanks so much!!

First I had to raise my pH to 7.2. my initial results: basic test: Cl-2 pH-7.2 T100 test: FC-2.5 CC-1 TC-3.5 CH-25 TA-50 CYA-40 I have been adding bleach but would like to add my salt. Do I need to adjust anything beforehand? I'm still learning to navigate this site and any and all help is...

Hi! I installed my pump and filter, backwashed for about 2 minutes, rinsed for a minute, repeated. Turned to filter position and a cloud of sand blew into my pool. I ran the filter for about 3 hours and the gauge went from 8 to about 11, slightly into the yellow. The water had to have been...

I probably didnt backwash long enough but the filter is working!! :) I also attached an Intex deluxe pool skimmer. I'm wondering if there are cons to the water coming into the pipe nearer the surface rather than where the hole is. Thoughts? thanks!!!

I am about to buy a test kit. I have a salt water system. I assume I need to get the salt test too-? If shipping is free at $100 what else should I get to reach that total? Thank you!

18 x 48 intex. 2650 Intex salt system. I set my pool up without the pump and filter as I was missing the valve and threaded connector. It should be here Thursday. How do I keep my pool clear until then and what test kit should I use? I also don't know how to write my tagli me - when I try it...
