    Why is there sand in my pool?

    Not sure what I do wrong, but I have an intex sand filter/pump, and I always seem to find a small amount of sand when im vaccuming. The filter is quite new, and the same thing happened with my previous filter as well.

    Intex sand filter enclosures?

    Has anyone come up with a simple/cheap way to protect their sand filter from the rain? I've just had to order a new one and would like to protect it. I'm up for building something simple myself but cant seem to come up with an actual plan other than sticking 4 wooden posts into the ground...

    Pump making unusual noise

    I have an intex sand filter/pump, the pump is making a weird clicking sound, any ideas what it could be? Video here: Pump noise - YouTube Its still pumping the water fine, I did a backwash and rinse earlier to see if it made any difference but no luck.

    Intex Insulation (UK)

    Insulating an Intex pool?

    I currently have a 15ft intex frame pool with a 5kw air source heat pump connected. I'm running it 12 hours a day which is getting me a steady 26 degree temperature. I'm in the UK and the night time low at the moment is 11 degrees. So I imagine I'm losing quite a lot at night. I have a blue/gold...

    Intex frame pool on unlevel ground?

    I've had a standard quick set pool for a few years, my lawn slopes so I kind of built up a wall of compost around the edge of the pool giving me a deeper middle if you know what I mean. Anyway that pool is now beyond repair, so I'm either thinking of getting another the same or getting a bigger...
