I’m beyond frustrated that I’ve been in SLAM for over 2 weeks with continuous monitoring and now I have to leave for vacation for a week. I do not have someone to daily maintain the pool as I would so here is the compromise I’m willing to make and looking for advice. My CYA is currently 45...

I’ve passed the OCLT but my pool is still cloudy so I’ve continued SLAM. However I noticed my alkalinity dropped from 80 to 50 and I’m curious if now I should focus on that as a symptom of the cloudy water? Also, I don’t have it hooked up yet by I have a SWG and curious what is the recommended...

I just bought the Intex SWG with Ozone but while searching for info here I saw the pinned post for AGP says something about cutting copper wires in these units…? Is that something I should be concerned about? Does anyone have an updated resource for utilizing these via TFP recommendations? Also...

Help me keep this vacuum out of the landfill 🙏 The wheel + casing broke on my Intex vacuum last year and if someone could pop a good one off their broken vacuum I’d be so grateful and happy to pay for it! **adding: also realized I need the white disc. This wheel is one of the static ones so...

I’m looking for someone who may have a broken version of the vacuum above. I just broke a wheel today so I’m looking for the replacement which Intex doesn’t sell. Of course will gladly pay.

I have an Intex above ground pool that we chlorinate with liquid bleach. I have the TF-100 kit that say for manually chlorinated pools the target for TA is 100-120, however the pool math app says ideal is between 60-80, although it doesn’t detail this target for a specific type of chlorination...

Would you average 6.8 & 7.2 for this result?

I have increased the contrast on this photo to show a little more clearly, however I’m seeing this translucent debris on top of my pool that I can’t seem to get rid of. I’ve been in SLAM for 8 days and all my levels are great with the exception of having this stuff and a bit of cloudiness I’m...

I was curious from Intex Ultra XTR owners do you use the cover that came with our pool for winterizing? Another thread mentioned just buying a regular tarp. This will be my first time winterizing our 16x32x52 as a new pool owner. I know there is a standard guide for AGP on the site but wanted...

According to the guides here at TFP: “Gardening DE, while safer to handle, has not been heat treated and therefore is not suitable for use in pool filters.” Why does it matter if it’s heat treated or not? It’s not coming in contact with anyone. I just want to use what I have on hand and want to...

I thought it would be fun now that our first pool is up (Intex Ultra XTR 32x16) to see the creative ways other owners have utilized their pool with games, equipment and/or toy storage, landscaping appeal, or just all around making your pool easier and more fun to use. Extra points for DIY...

Hello all! We’re still in the process of this never ending set up of our Intex Ultra XTR 32 x 16. Our liner/foam padding ground work was all level until this past week of torrential rain and one of the short sides went down about an inch. Fortunately our pavers are unaffected and level all...

While setting up we noticed one of the plastic inserts for the horizontal bars was missing and one was cracked. OEM part is not an option due to stock and time, so I was hoping one of you ingenuous people knew of something around the house or hardware store that could be used in place? Is there...

We purchased a used 1-year old Intex Ultra XTR rectangular pool from someone who couldn't keep up with the maintenance under his trees. We are first time pool owners and we have used TFP as our primary source for all our site prep and future chemical undertakings. The problem is there is some...
