    Intex 22’ x 52” Questions

    Just bought a new Intex 22’ x 52” Ultra Frame AGP. It came with a 2500 GPH cartridge filter. The pool holds about 10,500 at 90%. I have never had a pool, so I am new to everything. I have searched the forums and haven’t found direct answers to a few questions I have so I figured I’d ask them...
