    Any suggestions how to fix this?

    Crossthreaded? That will make it leak.

    Small leak w/ Hayward Skimmer on Intex pool

    Do you have it going across a seam? If it's the horizontal seam is the water over it?

    New AGP - advice/feedback on equipment, plumbing, electrical plan

    I used these. I just set it up this year so I can't speak to their longevity but they seem very nice. I'm not affiliated with that supplier but I did buy all of my fittings there.

    Nip It In The Bud

    The water was clear and I passed the test. CC was 0. I've already SLAM'd again earlier. I'll pull the ladder and get in at some point and hand scrub the seams. I think it's hiding in there.

    Nip It In The Bud

    New Filter/Hard Plumb

    I used 2" valves with 1 1/2" pipe to keep restrictions to a minimum. I used flexible PVC for the horizontal lines coming out of the pool. Got a small floor drain for the regular suction cover. I forgot to take a picture of it but here it is. not found | AquaStar Pool...

    New Filter/Hard Plumb

    Got it all hooked up yesterday. This thing moves way more water. The skimmer is a force to be reckoned with.
