Another AGP with what appears to be algae(dust) at bottom of pool: Intex 12x24x52 Saltwater and sand filter system. System runs about 8hrs per day to maintain levels. CYA:70 PH:7.6 FC: 7 Clouds away when disturbed. I can vacuum it up, but it will eventually return. SLAMmed a couple of times...

Hey everyone, I am bringing my 2018 Intex 12x24x52 back in service this year and the pump does not sound happy at all. I have tried in vain to find the replacement pump (SKU 12527EG 1600gph sand/saltwater) with no luck. I guess my current options are (from cheapest to most expensive): Take...

Due to the recent warm weather in the Bay Area, California, my AGP has been maintaining a nice temperature of about 86-90 degrees. I do have a little battle with nearby tree debris but nothing I don't keep at bay with regular skimming and vacuuming. Every few weeks though I do notice a very...

I'm currently in the middle of a SLAM on my Intex 8500 Gallon saltwater AGP. Since my CYA is at 70-75, I have been testing the FC at 30 right after sunset. This requires 60 drops of R-0871 reagent in 10ml of water. I ran two tests this morning before sunrise. The first measured 27 FC and the...

<rant> Anyone else have problems with city trees interrupting what would be an otherwise straightforward pool maintenance schedule? We have a row of trees behind our pool that is a constant supply of leaves, debris, dust, and other nuisances in regards to our pool. It seems these particular...

Hey all, I have an Intex 12' x 24' AGP here in the Bay area, California. Temperatures are now tickling the 80's, and I've been itching to get into it, but with a ~70-72deg water temperature, not sure if that's tolerable enough to wade/swim in. I do have a blue-bubble solar cover on it 24x7. I...

Sorry in advance for the long read: Thanks to this forum, and the recommended TF-100, my first year of pool ownership last year was a great success. Got to enjoy my pool without any issues. Now we purchased our AGP to see if it would be used enough to justify having an IGP put in a couple of...

Took a Ph test of my pool with both the strip and drop test and they seem to be very different. I imagine the drop test is more accurate, but why the discrepancy? If I'm matching the color right on the drop test, it looks closest to 7.5. How would you interpret the color? Also took the FC test...

Filling my pool and getting near the top when water starts dribbling out of this port on my supply plunger. There wasn't anything there and I don't have any spare parts that fit. Any idea what was there, and even better, what size it is? I put a rubber plug in to stop the flow in the meantime.

So I have an intex 12x24x52 going up this weekend and I would like to make the following modifications to the plumbing (see pics for stock plumbing): I'd like to replace the existing 'T' that goes to the pump with a 'T' that goes to my hayward skimmer and to one of the existing inlets (Both...

Wow, what a wealth of information here. Think I'm going blind on overload but what a resource. Purchased an intex 24x12x52 AGP and getting ready for the install. I'll update with pics as we go. We got the saltwater and sand filtration system with it. I was apprehensive about the ground leveling...
