    Questions about 2100 GHP intex sand filter

    I'm definitely not a fan of the cheap connection. That's been a high suspension of mine as well. I think at this point im going go recheck the o ring again and get some metal clamps instead of the cheap plastic ones it came with. If it continues ill just have to deal with it. The only thing that...

    Questions about 2100 GHP intex sand filter

    There doesn't seem to be any issue with the flow. Air does blow out the return for about 20-30 seconds after I do a backwash but that's it.

    Questions about 2100 GHP intex sand filter

    Just had a thought....does your pump basket lid sit flush before you screw on the plastic ring or is it almost like its crooked but once you screw on the ring it seams ok? I'm wondering if I got a bad/warped lid that's causing air to get in.

    Questions about 2100 GHP intex sand filter

    I've only had this pool a year as well so this is still all new to me. I had not the slightest idea how to care for a pool at the beginning of last season lol anyways I have tried backwash and rinse and that didn't do anything. I had the same thought. Thank you for your input though!

    I upgraded to this pump this year. Ever since the initial install I have had air bubbles in my pump basket. I have checked all my connections and everything is tight and all valves are open. Is this ok that its like this or will it cause problems down the road. I even took it apart today and...

    Chlorine tablets

    Thank you all for a response. Sorry for this being delayed I forgot I posted lol. The tabs I had ended up being way too much for my pool and brought my chlorine and ph up way off the charts in a small time frame and there were impossible to break up . I ditched those and got what I used last...

    Chlorine tablets

    I have a 10x30 intex east set pool. Last year I used 1 inch tablets and always kept a couple in at a time. This year I ordered 3 inch tablets by mistake and they won't fit into my dispenser. Can I break them up into smaller pieces to fit?
