    I am clueless, please help

    So after a Long two months out pool is finally up and filled. I want to add checmicals and from what I read, right now I should be concerned with chlorine, PH, CYA? I tested my water (I think) and for zero for chlorine, 6.8 for pH, and CYA- the black dot never disappeared and I tried twice. I...

I need approx 70 lbs to fill the filter. Can we backwash what we have and use it until the replacement bag...

    SWG for my Intex Pool

    Hi all, What SWG do you recommend to use with the 110-120V Krystal Clear™ Sand Filter Pump (pump flow rate: 2,800 Gph) ? I originally bought the chlorine gallons but am thinking after reading all these posts, I should just bite the bullet and get the SWG. Also, will I need to buy attachments...

    I needed that suggestion. I feel like I stalk this page everyday and being OCD, I find I am always missing something. AT this rate, my pool will NEVER be up and running. So, that's what I am going to do. As long as you tell me I can swim in it...I will be happy :) THANK YOU ALL

    and I am so silly...I was thinking the sand filter was one unit for approx $300 then the pump was another for $300 +....I just looked up your set and realized they come together. I think I may just go for what you have....Hayward Pro Series 21 inch sand filter, 1.5 HP PowerFlo Matrix pump but...

    NOW I'm wondering if I should just go ahead an get that. Can you tell me if I would have to cut anything or get anything extra (other than what would come with the new pump) to get it to work with my intex 32' x 16' x 52" Ultra XR pool????

    Thank you so much for all of the answers you gave. I am thinking I will stay with what I have this year and see how it goes. I have found a few ladder systems that i think may work but have no idea. Maybe I will make something for the time being this year or just use the flimsy ones until better...

    Have everything ready....well, almost

    Thank you so much. So you think the sand filter that comes with the pool isn't great? I thought people said the newer Ultra XR were better. And if I wanted to turn it into a salt water pool- what other unit would I need in addition to the one I currently have. I hope I am asking this correctly...

    Ground prep

    Hi all, My landscaper is going to do the ground prep for our pool- intex-32ft-x-16ft-x-52in-ultra-xtr-rectangular-pool. He is prepping the groud, leveling with roller, putting a 2' sand base down, rolling that out and then we are putting down a gorilla ground pad. My question is, when I look up...

    Hello from PA

    I figured as spending a little but more...just in case....is always better than not having it in a pinch. Appreciate the feedback
