I having a hard time finding 1hp duel speed. 1.5 duel speed sure but not a 1hp. If I go for the 1.5 duel would that be too much?

would th 16" sand filter be ok or do I need a bigger one?

I have a 22x52 about round pool. My pump exploded during the Texas freeze and I need to quickly buy a new pump fast. I have a 16" sand filter. I want to purchase an Hayward 1.5 Hp pump. Do I need a larger sand filter too or would 1 HP be a better choice? I have searched but can not find a...

Thank you for the advice. I will read those threads today. We are going to vacuum to waste again today. Then I believe it is time to clean the sand in the filter. Then see if Lowes has DE. Thank you. I swear we've used at least 30+gallons of 10% pool chlorine. Oh and yes my husband just told...

I have a Intex Krystal Clear 16-inch Sand Filter Pump 3000 gph. Hmmm. I updated my sig before I posted. It stays at 10 psi at all times unless it needs a backwah. I backwash when I see that its not pushing anything back into the pool bc I read that a dirty sand filter catches more on another...

I've been shocking my pool for over a month. It was a black mess. Now it is clearish - slightly cloudy and I can not get past this stage. It has been about 2 weeks at slighty cloudy blue. The FC is staying fine over night with no loss or less than 1. Per pool math app 26 is my shock. Per CYA...

I hate not having crystal clear sparkling water and not knowing why

I'm working on the upgrade later thissummer. Not sure what size to get so I am in research mode. I'll search for that thread. I used to use unicell but noticed I had very little pressure out of the return. Right now I'm using a generic from walmart.

No on the sand filter I have a 2650 gal/hr Intex Krystal Clear Pump- Type B Filter.

I slammed my pool for 2 weeks. I passed the over night test the last 4 of those days. Slam says to keep going until water is clear but we had company coming that weekend and since I passed the over night test so many times I stopped. Two weeks after slam water is still slightly cloudy, still...

Got it. So i'm staying with the 31 shock level per chem 201 and Intex''s 10421 for pool volume . I thought that the pool calculator was a tfp website. I've updated my bookmarks to pool math. Thanks! Deb

Good Morning Everyone, My SWG pool turned green and I am in the process of slamming the pool. Someone jumped my fence and turned off both my pump and swg (this has happened 2x this summer). I didn't notice this because I had just had some biopsies done and didn't check my pool for 3 days...

Would this be a good time to add borates with 20 mule. It will raise pH by 0.77, raise Borate by 6, and raise TA by 14. I was planning on doing it one box at a time anyways. Then I can bring my ph back down to lower ta back to 80.

Looks like I need to balance my pool today. Is there a link with instructions on how to clean the swg cell on TFP? Intex manual says to use vinager. Will that take the scale off the cell?

We had A LOT of rain so my cya and salt dropped. Will correct that today.

We set it all up the week before memorial day. We tried to move our old pool to the new house but the liner ripped and had several holes it.. so we got the 22 ft pool. Everything is new. I run a full set of numbers at the beginning of each month. I'm running a new set now.

Fc. 3.5 cc 0 ph 7.5 cya 65 ch 125 ta 80

I have this white stuff on my swg cell. I can't get my pool above 3.5. Could this be why?

Thank you so much. I picked up a new for $87.00 on amazon. Quite shocked that I got such a great price. We start clearing the area to install in about 2 weeks. The kids can't wait. :) Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

We moved and when trying to take down our old pool the liner fell apart in our hands. How it was holding water I do not know. There were many tears in the bottom of the liner and it was brittle. Anyways... we are now purchasing a larger pool 22x52 (10k+ gallons) and want to add an Intex SWG. I...

We are moving next week and I am thinking that this would be a good time to change to salt. What should I look for in a pump? Is there a particular pump that works better for an Intex AGP? Thanks in advance for any advice or recommendations. Deb... in Tx Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

Thank you everyone for your advice. We are just moving next door. I would love to be able to pick up the pool and not have to take it apart. LOL Now if the deck would be that easy to move.... ;) Now would be a good time to switch to salt. Any good recommendations for salt water pump? Sent...

I am moving in 2 weeks. I have drained the pool already. What I need to know is if there is any thing I need to worry about now that the pool is empty. Do I need to do Anything special to care for the liner before we set the pool up again? Thanks for any advice ...... Deb Sent from my SM-N900T...

Yeah I know. I didn't think about the rain we just had that overflowed my pool before I started. I just went with what I had as the value before the rain and having to drain some of the water off. It was at 35. I used the tfp Calc to get my shock level. Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

I forgot to test my cya before I started the shock treatment. Is it ok to test while the chlorine level is so high?

Every time it rains it seems I get this ugly yellowish powder on the bottom of my pool and the water goes cloudy. The water was beautiful and sparkly before it rained. We've had an unusual amount of rain so this is getting to be a pain. Is there any way to tell if this is algae or just...
