    First time inground pool

    I can't convince her to fire him. The green was there before he was. Btw he put 8 tablets in chlorinator. I am personally not comfortable messing with the pump doing back washes or backflushing, whatever it is called. I would hate to hurt her equipment and have to pay for it.

    First time inground pool

    this is the first time I've ever had an inground pool. my landlord just hired a pool company for $175 a week But they want $400 to make it sparkly blue again. I know that I can do it, but she won't let me. I don't know why she thinks that she can continue to literally throw money down the drain...

    New to inground pools

    We just moved into a house with an inground pool. The landlord has a friend that supposedly has been maintaining it for 10 years.

    Clorox Pool & Spa Smart Test Strips - Save your $$

    Don't buy any of their pool products. They have "other ingredients" that you can't find. Their algaecide was 3% copper and 97% other ingredients. I took it back

    New K2006 test kit. Where do I begin?

    Wow. I had no idea. I changed the filter. I swam and swept and vacuumed it yesterday. That's just since then. I didn't test my cya in the sun but the water is 80° plus. Does this matter or should I do it again?

    Re: New K2006 test kit. Where do I begin? I've been dealing with algae, mustard algae to be specific. Before I got my test kit, I was utilizing the wonderful skills (cough cough) of the pool people. And Clorox Pool and Spa... Apparently whatever I put in my pool turned to Clay in my filter...

    Running 2 pumps

    I was given a sand and swg pump but no filter. I'm trying to find one but in the meantime is there any way to plum them together so I at least have more power and a filter? It is a CS20110 by Intex. I really need the power. TIA

    Intex CS20110 pump and sand filter

    After further research, it is just the tank. Dadgummit. Might be just as cheap to get the whole shabang And sell the PUMP as is. Nothing is easy I guess. And pool companies treat u differently when u say intex Thanks Jeff

    Intex CS20110 pump and sand filter

    I found the part number from intex. Horrible customer service. Its $40 new. How would I disable the saltwater generator? I can't find anybody around me to offer help

    Intex CS20110 pump and sand filter

    Intex CS20110 pump and sand filter

    I got this pump free and it seems to work. I only have the PUMP and not the big container standing beside it in the picture. I don't necessarily care about converting it to salt but can I just use the sand pump and filter basket with it? It does seem to pump the pool just fine but I dont want...
