Hello! You guys have helped me so much over the years and I have a new project. We use to live in Albuquerque, NM. Through your help we got a 15' cartridge filter intex pool when the kids were very young and learned how to maintain the water through pool school but I hated that filter. When...

So I need a little help. We have a cloudy blue pool and I want it back to crystal clear that I love so much. I think I know what to do and what the issues are but I wanted to run it by you all first. We have an above ground rectangular intex 12x24 (see my signature). We kept it up all winter...

I want to thank TFP so much! You guys always help! I took your advice and drained and bailed as much as I could then refilled and followed the pool school steps. Ive added my CYA and FC. So far PH is good but will continue to watch that daily as CYA can affect that. I am so grateful to you all...

Thanks to everyone on TFP our last summer as newbies was a success. As it doesn't get too cold here we did not take down our intex 12x24 pool this year but just drained it down to about a foot over the winter. After evaporation over the winter we are down to about 8 inches in the bottom. There...

Hi everyone. We upgraded from a cartridge pool to a intex pool with a sand filter. The sand filter is model number is SF80110 and it came with the intex pool. We also bought a Hayward Diver Dave pol vac but cannot figure out how to hook the two together. Any help would really be appreciated...

Hi everyone. We've upgraded from last years 12 ft round intex to a 12x24 ft rectangular pool in my siggy. We've never had a sand filter, skimmer, etc so some new stuff. We opened our pool last weekend (new water, new pool out of the box). Crazy pool store guys told me to shock with 1 1/2 cups of...

It took over 2 weeks, alot research here, and a lot of hard work with leveling and set up but we got our intex 12'x24'x48" pool up this last Thursday and kids and dad had their first swim on Fathers Day. Your help has be the best. We have the TFP recommended water testing kit and so far so good...

Hi everyone, I'm going to keep asking questions in hopes that someone has done this before. We are putting up our new intex 12'x24'x52" pool next Friday. The area for it has been leveled. My question is about the pavers for under the side supports. Last time we did this we had the little 12'...

Ok weve decided "bigger is better" so we are going with the intex 12x24x52 pool. Ordering it today. It comes with a sand pump that I think you all agree is not helpful with the amount of gallons we will need to clean. Can anyone recommend a better filter/pump and if I will need different...

Hi all, it's been many years since I was here but you all helped me learn a lot with our little 12' intex pool. It was clean the entire season thanks to you all. We are revamping our backyard and will have enough space to get either an intex 9x18 rectangular pool or a 12x24 rectangular pool...

Our 15ft 48 inch intex sprung a huge leak. We had to drain. Our options to replace are to get either: An intex 16 ft ultra frame 48 inch deep for $350 Or Craig's list has a 16 ft doughboy also 48 inches supposedly used but in good condition, broken down with all the parts for $800. We would...

Hi everyone. I have to update my siggy as we have graduated from at 12 ft intex metal frame to a 15 foot this year. As its a bit deeper (48 inch vs last years 36) we need a good way for our special needs daughter and son and aging grandma to get in and out safely. We are considering getting some...

Hi all. I want to first thank everyone here for last year. We had a 12 ft intex and your method and experience helped us keep a perfect pool all summer! We've upgraded this year to a 15 ft, 48 inch round intex. I don't like the filter it comes with. My daughter has leukemia so I want a really...

Hello! I am very glad I found this forum. I wish I would have found this place and started reading about BBB before I went out and bought a ton of chemicals. This is our first pool. I put in my siggy what we have (Intex 12' metal frame). My husband and I are completely new to pools and pool...
