Yes.... I've look through those links, rather quickly. AND before posting too!! Some pictures are not loading and or dead links. Most of the pictures I have seem posters have kept the OE hose between the pump and the filter for the intex sand filter. The reason for asking was not how to do...

My short hose between the pump and the filter sprung a small pin hole leak. I had an extra hose (long one) to use temporarily. Question Can that small hose be plumbed with rigid hose? If not what can be used from hardware store? I do- have the "special" fittings to get from Intex thread to...

Was having problems with my skimmer not staying in the water after temp changes. This is due to the inflated ring losing and gaining pressure from temp change and the bracket slipping or not slipping. I sure don't want to ruin my new Intex sand filter pump. It has actually sucked air once...

Thank you!

After adding does of stabilizer, generally speaking, how long does it take increase the CYA number to its potential? I added CYA stabilizer last Saturday. Put it in a sock hanging from the ladder. The stabilizer was completely gone from the sock by Wednesday. So would my CYA number be at its...

Looking for some ideas regarding my 18x48 easy set. Is there anyone who has made a rigid mounting for the skimmer? Mine does not stay put during temp changes. It works very well otherwise. My thinking was to make a bracket possibly out of PVC that is adjustable from the ground since I have no...

Thanks all!! I got the Intex sand filter pump 2500 gpm. Got it from the pool store rather than on line. I was able to get it up and running this weekend. Yes I could have saved some money but I would had to have waited. Works great! Well worth it. Beats cleaning that 'lil filter everyday...

Many thanks.... :cheers: My pump is currently working. So I have decided to use it with out a skimmer and manually skim the pool. Cleaned the "paper" filter tonight after 2.5 days was dirty but not plugged. I can see where cleaning would become a real pain. Gotta get a sand filter! I'm...

Thanks for the "census of intex users" reference. Lots of info I still need to read. The pool has been up for only a few days. Pump just does have enough suction to use the skimmer that came with the pool kit. Eventually the suction stops (due to air??) and the hole strainer assembly starts to...

What a wonderful site! Great info! Pool school is awesome! I current have a 1500 pump with an "A" style filter. My pump is very noisy, which from searching post is not common. Doesn't really seem to circulate the water well. I mean its working. Seems like it struggles with the skimmer hooked...
