    Intex 18 foot pool, 7 years old, rusting below rail next to T joint areas with holes, fixes?

    Thanks on the links, i guess ill try more rustoleum, leave the "torn" hole on the underside and then wrap with the self sealing silicone tape 2" around the areas. Was hoping someone knew of a way to add a "brace" around the beam to add stability since some now have holes.

    Intex 18 foot pool, 7 years old, rusting below rail next to T joint areas with holes, fixes?

    I'll have to add a photo later, but basically at each of the T joint spots on the pool, most of them on left or right on the underside i have rust. I have had this before, i used rusteoleum to cover it up, but now the rust is back but with degradation in the metal, holes etc. On one of them i...

    Newer model intex robot hose incompatible with standard pvc threads?

    I bought a replacement robot of the same intex one i had for years. I opened it to find that the newer one which looks the same, has a different single piece of hose https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GSPHSRO?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details The old one has the sectional one that submerges...

    After opening pool, 3 days later still not clear water, though blue?

    Updates: about 4 days ago when things were still iffy.. i rechecked the cya, it was actually an 80 at that point (it was around 60 before, i added a tad of cya stabilizer to bring it up a hair).. i then re-adjusted for 30 FC and rolled with that for 2 days. In the end after i dunno 16 days or...

    After opening pool, 3 days later still not clear water, though blue?

    Im checking it at least 3 times a day and trying to maintain that 24ish for FC.

    After opening pool, 3 days later still not clear water, though blue?

    I ran about 24 hours with the deep cleaned sand, then read countering info that suggests that the crystals and parts of the sand do in fact wear down over time and get less effective. I take in everyone's advice overall, however, running out of ideas i swapped out the sand to eliminate that...

    Worm, millipede like creatures in robot from pool?

    Does anyone know what these are? I posted one pic in my slamming issue thread, so maybe related to not being clear yet. Nonetheless, i'd love to know what this nasty thing is and even once the cloudy water clears if they still exist, what should be done or should i be concerned, i certainly...

    It was bad till about i dunno, 1.5 to 2 weeks ago i think. Could be it as well

    After opening pool, 3 days later still not clear water, though blue?

    Well, there was the initial one, but probably not constant checking slamming until day 3, around the 28th, so thats probably about right actually, but sure seems longer :) Running out of reagent too, for FC, turns out i dont have any left to check the CC either. Looks like the R0871 only comes...

    After opening pool, 3 days later still not clear water, though blue?

    So there is a small chance that the bleach (this year for whatever reason) has lead to this cloudy situation due to the polymer change perhaps? Well, at least from today forward i have the pure chlorine jugs to work with. My fc spiked after it was low last night (low as in 21 not 24-26), i...

    After opening pool, 3 days later still not clear water, though blue?

    Im not the first person or the last that has used standard bleach as a substitute (even noted in many threads here too), i really dont think that was the issue either. I've done that for 5 years without any issue, ever. I tested the CYA, it was in fact a 62, so i've been slamming now for 15...

    How did this work out for you, your situation sounds nearly identical to mine.

    After opening pool, 3 days later still not clear water, though blue?

    Ah, ok, so maybe i can just flush it out? Whats the best way to do this though? (Ill check that link), i mean, drain the water, put the cap back on, spray using the hose mixing things up, let it drain back out etc. EDIT: i see the video, so basically drain it first, then plug it, take anything...

    Im trying to recall from years back, but is there a particular sand variety 50lb bag to get at a place like lowes?

    After opening pool, 3 days later still not clear water, though blue?

    Well i guess either liquid pool shock or the granular stuff (i think i used those 1lb bags once before), some generic i found locally. Not sure what deep cleaning is for the sand, curious on that, but i do the 2 min backwash and 30sec rinse mode every 2-3 weeks when things are normal. My...

    After opening pool, 3 days later still not clear water, though blue?

    Its the dollar general plain bleach basically, i've used it without issue the last few years. I think ill check the sand situation first perhaps, in case its just not filtering.

    After opening pool, 3 days later still not clear water, though blue?

    I called the local shop to get some ideas, i know this is against the grain some, however the first thing they asked me how old my sand was (4.5 years old).. they said thats getting pretty old, suggested i shut it down (drain the tank if necessary), scoop off the top layer see if mucky and if it...

    After opening pool, 3 days later still not clear water, though blue?

    Now about 3 days in fully running 24/7, checking and maintaining about 25 FC, though this afternoon it hit 21, so i boosted it again. I can see the checkered pattern on the bottom, but the robot is still foggy a bit, so the water is still not clear. Would there be any advantage to actually...

    After opening pool, 3 days later still not clear water, though blue?

    Yeah i completely misread that slam chart at first, oops. So now 1.5 plus days continuous running, keeping FC at 25+, im noticing maybe a slight improvement, though not a ton, im starting to be able to see the robot on the bottom of the pool a bit. Im hoping 1 more day at 25+ and maybe this...

    After opening pool, 3 days later still not clear water, though blue?

    Ok, well, i do notice the gauge is pegged when its on, when its off it goes to around 18 psi. I've had gauges go bad before though, i did take it into the garage over winter (the gauge)
