    Intex Ultra Frame 18'x48" Winter Thoughts ***in IOWA**

    What to do... I have an 18' Intex Ultra Frame that I would like to leave up all winter long. I wouldn't mind taking it down, but I have built a pool deck relative to the pool. Trying to line the pool back up next year would be near impossible. My question is, how the heck can I leave this thing...

    New Pool Owner, unlevel pool. ugh...

    Yeah it should be level... however.. my pool is off by 2 inches in an area and I did not take it down and fix it. It's been up since May, I've had many, many people in it splashing, jumping off the ladder, ect and I even jumped off of my "pool room" roof which is about 8 feet into the pool and...

    Intex 18' x48" Ultra Frame Support Question

    I decided to go with the Hayward 21" Sand Filter and 1 1/2hp pump... It works great except I'm pretty sure I purchased the wrong silica sand... will deal with that later. At any rate, here is a pic of my work in progress pool (Pool looks very slanted but this is only because I am standing on a...

    Above ground pool issue

    Some cyanuric acid (stabalizer) should do the trick. Check out the pool calculator to sed how much you need. Also, post your test results.

    Intex 18' x48" Ultra Frame Support Question

    That would definitely be the way to go, but I need to find a way to fix this without draining.. It took FOREVER for the pool to heat up plus all the chemicals I've placed in it.. it'd be a huge loss.

    Intex 18' x48" Ultra Frame Support Question

    Hello, With such success on my first posts' questions being answered, here is another question: My Intex pool is slightly unlevel, 3 inches in the worst location, 1 1/2 in the others but I do not think this is much of a problem because it is gradual. I have a lot of action in my pool, sometimes...

    Pump and Filter upgrade questions and recomendations

    Yeah, I would go with the 2650 but I plan on purchasing a much bigger AGP next year. I just didn't want to try and sell the 2650 next year and purchase another pump/filter again. Thanks for everyone's input!

    Pump and Filter upgrade questions and recomendations

    Why is that? The Pentair is is quite a bit cheaper.. however Hayward seems to be a better name with a "more powerful" pump so they say. Any other pros and cons?

    Anybody have an input on this? Also.. Hayward vs pentair? I feel as though the 1hp pump and 18" would be a better option?

    Pump and Filter upgrade questions and recomendations

    Thank you for the quick reply and great forum! I'd love a 2 speed pump, however I've found that these are quite a bit more expensive so I may not go that route quite yet. Is a 1 1/2 HP pump dangerous for this size of pool?
