    Vacuuming Intex Pool

    What do you mean by release pressure on the hose tightener? The outside screw part?

    Vacuuming Intex Pool

    Not sure, it came with a house we bought. The inlets do not screw off at all. I have the screw on adaptor for the hose and a piece that looks like the black part.

    Vacuuming Intex Pool

    Yes, we have the graphite panel Intex pool. My inlets don't screw off and I can't figure out how to plug the other intake.

    Vacuuming Intex Pool

    Hi there, I am desperately trying to get my pool open and ready. I have skimmed and leaf raked all feasible debris but have a fine coating of algae on the bottom that needs vacuumed. I've bought the Intex deluxe maintenance kit but cannot figure out how to hook it up properly or get any suction...

    Intex sand filter issue

    Still waiting! Gonna head to stock up on some supplies tomorrow. I'm anxious to see what the liner looks like, I was terrified it would be caked in algae.

    Intex sand filter issue

    Replaced the sand and did SLAM tonight. Still waiting for my test kit to arrive so kind of flying a bit blind. Return jet into pool is still not as strong as when pool is in recirculation but seems to be consistent now.

    Intex sand filter issue

    Planning on replacing the sand this week. Any tips on how to do it? I've seen most people use a shop vac.

    Intex sand filter issue

    Thank you for this detailed advice. I'm really not looking to invest a whole lot (more) money into this thing.. tbh I wanted it gone when we bought the house but my husband convinced me to keep it because he "loves a pool". Meanwhile I'm the one out here doing the actual work 😅. I will replace...

    This is a photo of my pool if size can be judged based off it.

    Intex sand filter issue

    Attached are some photos of my pool and pump. I'm honestly unsure about the size of the pool. It's not very large I would guess it's one of their smaller sizes.

    Intex sand filter issue

    Thank you for this insight! Where the gauge was formally looks pretty obliterated. Is it worth it to replace the whole pump in the instance that I can't replace the gauge? Also, is it normal to have a drastic difference in return water pressure between the recirculate and filter modes? I know...

    Intex sand filter issue

    Hi all, I've never had a pool before so this is a huge learning curve. We moved into a home with an existing Intex pool and sand filter without skimmer basket. The pool return spout has very little to non existent pressure, despite backwashing. Recirculation mode has strong pressure. The...
