    1.5 to 1.25 adapters VS cutting liner...which is better???

    That's a fantastically thorough reply!! Thank you so much. Yes, it just seems so daunting to cut into the lining of our brand new pool!! The adapters do seem so much easier, but I have read that it can cause the pump to work harder- & I'd like to avoid the pump crapping out prematurely. But if...

    1.5 to 1.25 adapters VS cutting liner...which is better???

    We have a brand new Intex 12'x30" Prism Frame AG Pool & finally decided on & purchased a Intex Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump for AGP (12", 110-120V w/ GFCI). I have been all over forums & product reviews but there seems to be mixed opinions on how to make these 1.5" pump hoses work with a pool...

The 12" is the cheapest @ about $130, so that's what I'm leaning towards. Is that enough, or do I need to go bigger? I...

    Sand Pump for 12'x30" Intex frame pool w/ HARD well water???

    OK so the pump that you had was a 2400 GPH. Intex sells these with a 530gph pump, so I was wondering how many gph is too much! ha I found this Intex Krystal Klear it says it's a 10", 1050gph & for a 2800-8400 gal pool. Does that sound reasonable, or should I go bigger?? How can I tell from a...

    Sand Pump for 12'x30" Intex frame pool w/ HARD well water???

    Hi! first time poster, here! ?? We just purchased an Intex 12'x30" Prism Frame Pool on Amazon. We opted for one without a pump because our very hard water (high calcium & iron) made a mess of our cartridges in our filter last year (10' EasySet) So we want to try a sand filter this time. But I'm...

    Hello from Illinois (near St. Louis)

    Hi I'm Sarah- I live in a tiny Illinois farming community, about 30mi east of St. Louis, MO with my husband & 7-year-old daughter. My husband & I both grew up with larger above-ground pools in our backyards, & since we've been parents we've had seasonal Easy-Set pools to enjoy as a family. This...
