Thanks for all the help, I will lower the PH down to 7.0 7.2 in stages and monitor it with my Taylor test kit :) I will go ahead and leave the SWG running if you think it will be ok, I will be using Muriatic Acid, and will make sure to use breathing protection, that can be nasty stuff if...

I have turned off my SWG until I get this under control and will switch to liquid chlorine to avoid destroying my new SWG cell. I guess I will start with PH down to 7-7.2 , then aerate the water to get the PH back, and see if I can get it balanced without a water change for now? Let me know...

P.S. CSI is 0.66

Here are my readings. Temp 30.6c Salt 3200 PPM Chlorine 3 PPM PH 8+ TA 140 ppm CH 390ppm CYA=35 First year running a salt cell that is reporting the salt incorrectley, be that as it may I am experiencing scaling on the pool walls "vinyl" and as you can imagine it is playing heck on my plates...

Save your money and buy a better unit, got mine 3 months ago and suffers from the Low Salt error, Intex was no help at all. Now saving for a reputiable unit.

I loose about 3-4ppm per day in south Texas as well, now my cya is over 80 from using tabs during the liquid chlorine shortage even after a water change last week. This means I am having to keep my daily FC around 8 to keep the algae at bay, but my water is Crystal otherwise, that and I...

Yeah Lowes has a deal on the concentrated stuff as well. Thanks

1 Gallon here is $12.21 and they are out of stock, my spouse works at a grocery store, that has been our best source so far.

Don't use 3 stabilized tabs on your pool, even though it has been tough to purchase bleach..just don't do it. I switched over to the 3 inch tabs when this "flu" began because chlorine bleach was in short supply, now here I am draining half my water because my CYA is over 80. Good news, is that...

water is going to go where it wants to, the cove will is to replace the "sand" cove they build up on the inside of the wall when they install it, the cove is permanent and will not wash out like the sand, you need to have your yard graded properly to route the water around the pool instead of...

Get a pre-formed pool cove to help deal with washout, my pool is in a low area where water travels when it rains, my previous abg pool washed out and the liner burst years ago, this install they recommended the pool cove to prevent this from happening should we have a wash out. Like this...

So a SWG on an AGP with a vinyl liner and steel walls will not rust out due to using a SWG? Mine will have resin top caps, top and bottom rails, a steel wall and alum-steel service panel. Opinions?

Ok, so screw the warranty, what I want to know is those of you using a SWG system on an above ground pool with these specs, how has your experience been with corrosion?

I am having trouble finding information on this pool, we moved our install to August 14th as a result of family issues. I want to install a SWG system on this pool, but the sellers tell us this will void our warranty and that you cant use a SWG system on this type of AGP. Is this true? The top...

Yes the quality control on their uprights is horrible, I have had 3 rust all the way through "only using bleach-no saltwater" and cant believe how fast the rusted through. We went ahead this year and purchased a quality AGP with pro install as we are tired of replacing the intex pools, they are...

We took the plunge last week and pulled the trigger on a late season purchase of a new Calypso 52" AGP Specs: 7" Top Ledge Krystal Kote Sealant Resin Bottom Trakcs Aluminum Alloy Service Panel 19" Sand filter and 1.75hp pump. LED Light on skimmer Prefabbed Cove and Pad for the bottom. We...

My tarp is on top of the foam boards, under that is Gorilla pad, under that is compacted road base, or fines as they call them, leveled that and then put pavers under each leg.

Yes, don't use sand, it clearly says this in the install instructions..no sand base, it must be on level un-distrubed ground, or get the ground as level as possible and then use road base "fines" you can compact and level that and it will stay in place, then use poly styrene on top of that, then...

Yes one of the suction lines is now plugged with the little black hat they sent with mine. I use the skimmer on the second suction line.

I plugged one of my returns with the black cap that came with the pool, I removed the screen and the small black hat covers the small nozzle underneath perfectly, then I screwed back on the screen and use the single return to hookup the Intex Skimmer, it made a huge difference in how much...

With the more powerful pump "Intex Pump and Sand Filter" this year I have been using the Intex over the side skimmer and found that it does a better job than the Hayward skimmer I had in my older pool. That in combination with the Intex Pool cleaner "which I leave in all the time now" I have had...

Re: Useful links for fellow Intex Pool Owners Here is a link to my video on setting up my 16x48 Intex Pool. Intex pool rises from the ashes - installing and leveling - EP-72 - YouTube

Good Idea!

Here is a video detailing how I setup our new 16x48 Intex Pool. Intex pool rises from the ashes - installing and leveling - EP-72 - YouTube This pool replaces a summer escapes pool we had for two years that the strap broke on.

Please note the Intex pool cleaner does NOT hookup to the suction side, it is a pressure "return" side cleaner. I for one own both the Intex pool cleaner and the Aquabug cleaner, I do NOT like the Intex, the Aqubug does a much better job and it is a skimmer side cleaner.
