Hi Y'all!! Well, we're super excited to be setting up the pool. I need to practice getting back in my kayak without 'gators around.. This will be our seventh season with an Intex above ground, last year being the easiest for me, as the caretaker, with all I learned here. Thanks! Pool is up...

Re:  Official 2018 BBQ, Smoking, Grilling, Baking and Beer thread Recipe for Cauliflower Steaks, por favor.

Thank you for the info and good to know about both the BBB acronym and testing for Chl production. I don't have a thermometer, but this May has been cooler than normal in Texas, and I havent bothered with the solar blanket, which may explain why I havent had this problem in years past. I do...

My Intex Krystal Clear SWG 8100 is working intermittently and not at all the last two days. I've already posted about that issue and gotten a multitude of great suggestions and advice and have tried all of them. Thank you!! The weather and water remain pretty cool, and I've read several threads...

Good for you :-) Have a great time!!

Welcome.Have fun!

Honestly, I would keep it simple, learn about leveling the ground and pool chemistry, and have fun . Level the ground WELL the first time....it really matters...I used a level. sand, a tamper, and a 2'x4'x12' as a radius with the level placed on the 2x4. I'm sure there are easier ways. It's...

Hi there Here's my two cents... I moved in 2011 and went from an in ground pool to an above ground Intex Ultra Frame 18x48. I'm in Texas, but still have taken it down every year...rethinking that the more I read here. There has definitely been a learning curve going from one pool type to the...

Very nice :-) I'm sure you've tried them, but just in case, Bonnie & Clydes in NRH.

Pretty sure this is what you're referring to, and as you can see, I have mine off. The Auto Cleaner didn't work properly when I left it on and I just left it off. Pretty sure it's the air source for the water aeration. Interested in responses as this was a replacement valve that came with my...

Thanks so much!!

This statement just MAY save me an unnecessary Intex SWG purchase. It was in the 80-90's for the last two days and the SWG decided to kick back in and run two full cycles, including a boost. Today it was 70 degrees in the AM...it ran 15 minutes, then urrrrgh...another "LOW SALT" reading. I...

Thank you. I have wondered about that as an unfortunate design issue. It started up again yesterday and ran for a boost cycle to catch up on chlorination. This morning...it ran for fifteen minutes, then fussy pants...LOW SALT reading. One gentleman mentioned water temp as a possible issue...

Thank you for all the information and further direction. Very helpful and much appreciated!!

Thank you I just saw these links. Reading.

Well, Hallelujah!! Miss Fussy Pants SWG just decided to kick in and work again, today. Here's hopin' for no more "low salt" readings and a full swimming season from here on out. I am interested in hearing more about using bleach as a sanitizer regularly. I'll search for threads, but if someone...

Awesome!! Good to know, thank you. - - - Updated - - - Wowza!! Good to know. Do you have a protocal you are willing to share?

Thank you I have used liquid bleach, in the past, to shock my in ground. When I bought the Intex, somewhere I read to not use liquid bleach. Is that kind of like the "Do Not run the SWG with swimmers in the pool!" rule. That would be great to know as a stop gap until I figure this problem out. I...

Thank you I added an additional bag yesterday. That makes a total of six **correction**seven and a half (300lbs). Testing it again this morning. Would the need for sodium change from year to year, in that the sensor or something in the mechanism necessary for salt levels becomes less sensitive...

Thank you, the trichloryl-ethelene build up from just using just stabilized chlorine has always been a reaction problem for use. in ground we used an nassent oxygen generating system and shocked weekly with bleach, above ground we switched to SWG as soon as I realized it was available. Is there...

So I got a new Intex18x52 online last year to replace an 18x48. It's kind of turning into a money pit, but I'm learning alot, so I'll count it as good. After one year of use, the Intex SWG started out this season with intermittent flashing "low salt" after about one week of use producing...

Woot!!

Oops, my mistake. I misread. Good luck!!

Gorgeous!!

Good news!! If you're talking about this one or one like it, it hooks up to your inlet/return valve and functions with a vacuum created by water pressure not pump suctions. Easy button...yay!! Hope that helps. Blessings from Texas P.S. The "leaks" at the hose section joints are intentional in...

Enjoy!! With the solar cover on right now, there's not much skimming to do either. :-)

Y'all, My Intex Auto Pool Cleaner ($60ish on Amazon) and the Intex 2500 GPH Pump showed up. It was a 15 minute set up and Oh My Gosh am I a happy camper!!! Meet Skippy the Poolbot. He works like a charm while I get to sit by the fire at night, wake up to an already clean pool in the morning...

Hi there, PachaMama Sorry for the delay in reply. I havent figured out notification settings yet. Actually, I did both with the pool full to just below the valves. the second one was done a few days after the first and I had raised it to that level. It seemed easier, but honestly it could have...
