We installed an 18' Intex pool last year, so this is the first time opening it up after winter. We have a sand filter. Do I just keep the same sand that was in it from last year, or do I need to change the sand every year?

I did a search and found some results, but not my exact situation. We have an 18' x 52" Intex pool with a sand filter. It's been up since early June-ish. We vacuum it regularly and had not had any problems. The other day the pressure gauge indicated we needed to do a backwash and rinse...

Hey all, just got our Intex 18'x52" pool set up yesterday. After we got out of the pool today we noticed that the connection of the pipe coming from the pool into the pre-filter assembly (see circled in attached picture) was leaking. I started tightening the nut and after it turned a little it...

We are installing an Intex 18' x 52" pool. Is it possible to put cove material (the foam type or similar) on the outside of the pool to "protect" the bottom edge of the liner from stuff (like landscaping material and such) that might come in contact with it?

Hi all, first post here. I've been searching and reading all of the fantastic advice on this site. Thank you for that. We are about to install an Intex 18' x 52" pool. I have the ground dug out and leveled. My plan was to put a layer of sand down and set the legs on pavers. Intex...
