yes the little clear rubber inside the eyeball is flat against on the inside of eyeball fitting

according to the instructions the washer goes on the outside of the pool but what I did is made a gasket for the inside that goes around the fitting and when you tighten down the eyeball onto the fitting it smashes against the wall and it has solved my problem

yea nothing on the outside is leaking I pvc'd the outside conections its where the eyeball screws to the wall but I found a solution. I'll post some pics a lil later of what I did

I just came from lowes tryin to figure something out. I wamted to find something that screwed into the through wall fitting but no luck

ok thanks

I was wondering how often do you bring your pool up to shock levels? Do you wait till you see algae or do you have a schedule you follow? I was thinking of maybe once a week. Is that too much?

there is a 4000 gph which is what I have I forgot the last zero. Thanks for the info guys I'm going to give those suggestions a try and see how it works

my pump runs 24/7 its a 400 gph pump... my cya is at 80 and I try to keep 5 ppm fc but it is fine in the morning but by the afternoon it is gone. It stays steady overnight also.

Ok well my intex 24' pool is in constant sunlight all day and was wondering if anyone had any relativly inexpensive ways to shade it. I was thinking some 4x4's and those kinda mesh tarps they use on dog kennels to give some shade but also let water through. Any ideas would be appreciated becasue...

Ok so just finished filling and testing the new intex after the old one busted. So i tested the water and have queations. Should I shock it to get started or just start up the swg? Here are my numbers. FC - 1 ppm PH - 7.4 TA - 40 CYA - 30 Calcium - 17 Which order should I attack these to...

I leveled my area and sprayed with a strong mix of 2-4d and roundup pro ten put the pool .... A long as you make sure the grass won't grow you really don't need the tarp. I wanted to put foam board also but it was not in the budget as the new pool wasn't either but kinda had no choice since the...

It was the metal frame pool but not the ultra frame. We really aren't wanting to spend a whole lot and we are gonna be here for a long time so not worrying about moving it around or anything. I have a 4000 gph intex cartridge pump and the intex salt water generator. I am leaning toward the...

Well got home this weekend and was informed that my intex above ground pool has busted at the seam. So I am in the market for a new one, I was looking at the new ultra frame pool for around 700 but was wondering what you guys recommend. Should I look into a metal wall pool or stick with intex...

well I ordered one that was advertized as an 09 model and the picture was of an 09 model so hopefully that's what I get

So I am trying to buy a new intex swg and can only find the new model except on ebay. Well paypal wants all my check account info and they are not getting that so I guess I'm buying the new model. Are there any down sides to the copper ionization in the pool? I have a 18x48 intex above ground...

its about a year and a half

Ok so I tried getting my intex swg to turn on tonight and well it came on for a second had 88 where the time is and the service like came on. Well shortly after it turned off and I can't get it to come back on. Anyone ever have this problem or know a way to fix it?

well I got some from a pool store since I was headed into town where they have one ...... 34 bucks for 6lbs of it and according to the pool calculator I will need most of it to get my cya to the right level

Ok great I'm gonna have to check agian. Lastnight we saw everything but stabilizer. we saw 15 types of chlorine, clarifier, ph stuff but no stabilizer

ok thanks I'm gonna keep an eye out I haven't seen any here so far.

I get mine at Sam's Club 3 132oz bottles for like 5bucks and some change. Oo and it is Clorox

What are you guys and gals using to get your CYA levels up and where are you getting it? Unfortunantly the only place close to me with pool supplies is Wal Mart and I'm sure they aren't the best place to buy and I haven't seen any stabilizer there anyway.

yes I have a swg the salt numbers surprised me since I haven't added any through the winter and a good bit of water evaporated and new water was added

ok thanks will do. Its a vinyl intex pool so I wasn't worried too much about CH

Ok so I got my base tests today to start getting my pool ready and I was wondering where I should start. I definantly will need to shock as the water is a greeen but not very bad so here are my numbers any help on which orer I should attack first will help. salt level 4400 ppm FC- none detected...

So I'm getting ready to get everything started and had a few questions. Should I start the pump and let it run before getting my first tests done? What order should I go for water testing? I read that salt is the first test done but then I'm kinda lost after that. Thanks in advance
