Hey Gtty, What is on the end of the plumbing that the filter bag attaches to? I ordered and received a couple of bags from Duda diesel (Thank you) Brian

I put the hose on the vacuum head and put it in the pool, then I take the other end and put it on the outlet port while pump is running to fill it with water. Then I just slip it over the vacuum port and yes I just went to lowes and purchased a rubber slip on adapter that fits on the end. Works...

Yes it is just a slip on cap to keep **** out, Or kids putting things in there :)

I did it two years ago, sure makes vacuuming pool easier. Works great - - - Updated - - -

Water looks great except for stuff on the bottom, Very clear, and easily see through it.

Hello everyone. I have a 16X48 Intex pool with a intex sand filter and pump assemble. The intex pump recently died so I replaced it with a 3/4HP Game pump and upgraded the return outlet to a Hayward. This pump REALLY moves the water and it seems like every time I vacuum I get a lot of stuff out...

Me and the wife did it yesterday. I Had her hold a bowl on the inside while I unscrewed it then quickly replaced outlet yes you loose some water but not much just move quickly :)

Thank you for those who answered the question I asked. I have used them for several years along with other people I know, that's just the way I do it.

Yes I am talking about the puck floaters. I have always used them seems to keep the chlorine level close to correct. I guess I could tie it off.

Hello all, thanks to several post/pictures and questions I installed my skimmer last night. Worked great, I cut the gasket and It makes since when you see the gasket. Anyway how do you guy's keep the floating chlorine basket out of the skimmer? I have the large one but it wants to park it's...

I have not received my skimmer yet, but I do not understand why the gasket has to be cut in half? Shouldn't it seal from the inside without having to be cut in half? Just trying to get all of the fact's before I install mine.

I run it about 6 hours a day, Do you think I should consider running it more often?

Looks great! I just ordered a skimmer this morning to do my Intex pool also. I am sick of always having to skim the surface. Do the skimmer's cut that down a lot?

Thanks guys! I did open it today and good thing I did, it was starting to get some algae on the side where the water line was. Pool temp was right at 60, I shocked the **** out of it and cleaned pump is running full power ahead!:D - - - Updated - - - Now if I can keep the **** birds off of it...

Thank you, We have had a very cold nasty winter and several cold mornings. This is the first time of the year it has gotten this warm. I think I will plan to open very soon then. Brian

Morning everyone, I have a intex above ground pool that I left up all winter. We are in southwest Missouri and the forecasted temp today is 85 and looking very warm for the rest of the week. Just kind of curious when I should open this sucker up:D . This is my first year of having it up all...

Hey guy's I know you are all sick of answering winter cover questions so here's another one :oops: How much water do you try to leave on the cover throughout the winter? Thanks Brian

Do they offer any kind of screw on plugs for the inlet and outlet of the pump fittings so that pool does not have to be drained down do much?

I also plan on leaving my 16' round up all winter, Oh yeah and also don't have any plans yet on how to do it. I still have the original cover that came with pool have not even looked at it yet but I am sure it will not be good enough to last through the winter. I will also remove pump and PVC...

How far down are you guy's draining the water before covering? Below the inlet port looks to be almost half way down on the pool to me. Brian

I actually had the same question, I just don't want to loose any depth Brian

Great thanks guy's, I understand better now. And wow seanm I had to re read your comment a couple of times :) Brian

Just wondering if anyone can tell me how exactly a fountain cools the pool water? I installed one and it works great but I don't really understand how exactly it is working? Thank you Brian

Yes I guess it would, Sorry. It is a 16X48 intex ultra frame. I have seen that several have done this but It just seems as if it would need to flex.

I have been thinking about hard plumbing my pool but I also have the fear of the hard PVC not allowing any flex. Has anyone had any problems with this. Thanks Brian Laib
