I installed that same pool over the weekend and just went with the filter and hoses that came in the box. The screens and the hoses in my kit fit very snug and the plastic hose clamps were strong enough clamp the hoses on real tight. I'm all filled up with the filter running and have zero leaks!

I'm no expert and I definitely can't advise you on this at all but I just installed the exact same pool over the weekend and I'll say that I had the same concerns as you. I went for it and filled it up. Now that it's full, my legs aren't perfectly 90 degrees level, but they straightened out...

Seems like everyone who has rust issues is using SWG. It was asked previously, but does any one have rusty frame that isn't using SWG? Another question, I'm on 3rd (and final) season with Intex metal frame/SWG, I can see some major rust holes on exposed frame sections. Should I just wrap...

Will having a higher than recommended salt level increase corrosion or have other bad effects? I'll definitely be ordering the Taylor salt drop kit asap!

The swg is happy but the high salt may be contributing to drying out our skin when we swim, my wife seems to think so anyway. Is dry skin just a side effect from salt pools in general? I suppose we probably do have a water softener, I've never had to add salt to one in the 8 years I've lived...

Well I'd love to know what method I should use to test salt because yesterday my AquaCheck salt test strips were reading 6.8 (3740ppm) and I did about a 20% drain and refill with fresh water last night. Today the salt test strip gave me a 6.8 reading again. I find it hard to believe that I...

Thanks for the insight guys! After a partial drain and refill I got the salt down to 3740 ppm, enough to get the swg operating but still on the high side so I will do another partial refill. Thanks again for helping me to understand why my swg would have suddenly detected 'high salt'. I know...

I'm new to caring for a pool, and a couple weeks ago after filling my 14x48 intex metal frame pool, and I added the recommended amount of salt to start a pool. Using salt test strips (improperly as I have learned) the salt was reading low, so I added more. After that dissolved for 24 hours I...

Yesterday we had a short power outage. When it came back online the SWG began giving a '92' high salt warning, so I checked the salt and it does appear to be 4080 ppm. There was a little rain and some wind, but other than that, we have been swimming in the pool and using the SWG for 1 week...
