Hello all. I owned a 24 foot round intex above the ground pool. I used a sandfilter/salt water chlorination combo. It was easy and I loved it. We lived in that house for 11 years and built our "forever home". Well we have decided to invest in a semi in the ground pool. I went and spoke to the...

The pool was pretty freaking clear but cloudy about half way, to where you couldn't see the bottom. We had left the tarp off after ripping it (biggest mistake ever) and I couldn't get the pool clean. I would put wanda the whale in there and within 30 seconds she would suck up too much debris and...

My pool is roughly 12,800 gallons. My hardness is at 440ish. I need it down to around 300 according to the site so I would like to lower it to 250ish so I have some room to grow. I live in Texas and I don't really want to pump out 32% of my water or like 4,000 gallons of water...thats a lot of...

Thanks you just saved me some decent monies!

No I got a solar cover and live in Texas, water was 86 today. Anyone have ideas on where I could get just the cell? I have this system http://www.amazon.com/Intex-2650-Filter-Water-System/dp/B00551XID0/ref=sr_1_7?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1399495325&sr=1-7&keywords=intex+saltwater - - - Updated...

awesome its been used just one year...ill start looking for a new one

my salt was never low last year, i checked it this year and is still where it was. However the indicator on the pump is saying its low. because of that there is no chlorine being produced and my sparkly pool is fading again. I added 3 bags of salt and it is still going off. Everything has...

Still looking havent found anything to cover the pool...

No ideas? ;(

Last year we put in a 22x52 intex above ground pool. We loved it and so did our 3 year now 4 year old daughter. We are looking to improve the back yard a bit this year. I live In West Texas but my pool is shaded 60% of the day by a tree so the water doesn't really stay all that warm (even...

So I have the Sand Salt Water Combo you can see it here, doesnt look the same as mine but its the same thing. http://www.amazon.com/120V-Sand-Filter- ... +sand+salt I bought the Game Solar Heater SD1- to test it out and see if it works. Thats here http://www.amazon.com/GAME-4512-SolarPr ...

I myself just installed my pool with that filter, hopefully you followed the directions when installing perfectly because it sounds like you skipped some steps. If I remember correctly, I am at work so maybe not, but the instructions were to fill half way put in water then fill to somewhere...

Re: Good grief! Intex SWG "High salt" reading -no salt added Mine will do this sometimes, I just installed mine last week and manually turn it on most days. When I allowed the timer to turn it on (only twice ive done this) it told me both times high salt. Turn off the pump...turn it back on and...

Thanks for the reply, I have another who installed the same hayward skimmer I ordered and hoping they share their secrets ;)

I just ordered the skimmer and should be here saturday. I am off Sunday and want to install it that morning. I would also like to know what parts you used and where you got them ;) Any tips on cutting and installing? I believe you got the hayward skimmer which is what I got! Any more info would...

Still interested, looking at others posts I believe someone is using this http://www.amazon.com/Hydro-Tools-8939G ... ol+skimmer I would love some feedback here as I want to order it before too late tomorrow so ill have this weekend when im off. Thanks

Hi I just installed my 22x52 intex and immediately wished I had a skimmer. The bugs on top are a pain to skim after just two days im annoyed. Anyway I was curious to see how yours turned out as well as those of you who just did it did you have any problems? If someone has a setup that works easy...

Hi there, I have been reading about the strips, the drop tests and the electric systems. What salt level tests do you guys use and what has worked out best for you. I dont mind the cost as long as its acurate and easy to use. Thanks a ton

haha thank you so much for your post Mike very helpful. thanks for your time

One last question. on the salinity tester I found some online that are like a thermometer and you can use them until it breaks. They are about $22 and seems more economical. Any negatives? http://www.amazon.com/HM-Digital-TDS-EZ ... ity+tester or if you know of one that is trusted that would be...

Okay, I have read those articles you mentioned but wasnt sure if those are blanket statementss or if having a SWG changes what you need. THanks for the info

This weeked I have helpers coming over to help me level the ground, lay down some foam underneath and a tarp on top of that. Then set up the pool and start filling her up. I ordered the Intex 2650 GPH Sand filter and salt water system online and will be here Monday. I then plan to install that...

Hi there, I was looking at pool cleaners for it, any suggestions?

Also just a small update I was worried about the ability of the above listed pump and found they have one more step up and is here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... Track=true

Thank you! This looks like a good place so I can't wait for people's ideas.

Hello, I live in Abilene Texas to give you a sense of the climate...HOT. I have not purchased anything yet but have got the prices and am willing to put in the work to make this thing amazing. I want to install the pool first and then probably a month or two later if its used enough and we like...
