It will be too small for the bigger pool. We could supplement with it, next year, however, it the pool and pump/filter are already...

    SWCG vs Ozone

    Thanks all! We'll stick with a swg, get new everything, with the new pool, next spring. Our current swg, filter and pump, will not be big enough. A new, "matched set" will be nice. Even better, we already have a buyer for our current pump, sand filter, swg, and pool, when we take the pool down...

    SWCG vs Ozone

    Looked at the pamphlet for oxygen again, now, I'm confused. It also mentions ozone. And adding a scoop or two of Formula "O". The pamphlet lists a Dynamic Oxygen Generator.

    SWCG vs Ozone

    I apologize, I said ozone instead of oxygen. Donldson - I was wondering if a "salt friendly" pool was more of a gimmick. The manufacturer does however, void the warranty if you use salt on a pool that's not rated for it. Mdragger88 - Yes, the SWG is included in the price. With that said, what...

    SWCG vs Ozone

    We currently have an Intex style 16' x 48". After a couple of years of chlorine and the original cartridge filter, I cut in a skimmer, added a sand filter, and SWCG. Quite happy with the salt. Now, we want a hard side 18' x 52". Stopped by local pool company the other day for pricing...

    Adding a sand filter, cutting in a skimmer, and swg to coleman ultra frame

    No pictures of current system. If I remember, I'll get some tonight. Currently it's still winterized. Cover on, hoses and filter/pump disconnected. PVC connected to one of the openings, to act as an overflow. I did buy some 18" x 18" bricks this morning, to make a base for both units. I've not...

    Adding a sand filter, cutting in a skimmer, and swg to coleman ultra frame

    Looking for ideas, links, pictures. I've found some on here. Looking for any and all input. Layout, platforms for the units, plumbing ( mainly the skimmer) placement, etc. Had the a\c cartridge filter. The swg is the intex eco7110, the sand filter (received today) is the intex sf80110-1...

    Anyone with experience in leaving Intex Pool up in harsh winter?

    This will be our first winter with it left up as well. Decided to leave it up for reasons you mentioned. Some friends have similar pool, left theirs up last year, no problems. We don't get quite as much snow as you, gets plenty cold though.
