    Well Water Pool AG 24x53.. Help

    Chemicals through skimmer problem

    If you want to add it to the skimmer you need to dilute it in bucket of water first then pour slowly into skimmer.

    I used Crystal Sand from Home Depot. No sand at all in the pool. http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xg3/R-202025014/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053

    Intex 2650 Sand Filter Base Dimensions.....building base

    I'm not 100% sure. Everything I've seen tells me they are the same pump. To me it seems Intex decided to advertise the Max output spec, change their packaging and charge more for it.

    Intex 2650 Sand Filter Base Dimensions.....building base

    George_ did you get your Sand Filter System yet?... Got mine earlier today and had it hooked up in about 30 minutes. This thing is great, really moves the water. Going to buy an outdoor timer and run it a couple of hours in the night and then a couple of hours during the day.

    My wife installed an 18-foot Intex pool on a slope !!!

    Yes I would say it is in danger of collapse. I've seen recommendations by other posters that up to 2" out of level is acceptable. My personal pool 16' x 48" Intex Ultra Frame is just under an 3/4" out of level, it was quite a bit of work to get it that close but it is worth it.

    Intex Easy Set Plumbing & Filter Upgrade...is it possible?

    Re: Intex Easy Set Plumbing & Filter Upgrade...is it possibl Just ordered the 2100 from Amazon as well. From my understanding they are the same. The 2100 is the normal operating gph rating and the 2650 is the max operating gph rating.
