Finally got to order my TF100 test kit. YAY! So, it'll be here tomorrow, right? Have I mentioned I'm impatient? :lol: So far, even without the test kit, my pool is still clear and beautiful. It's surprising enough, after last year when I had to "shock" it (using those "shock" packets one buys...

Awesome. Thank you!

I've heard you can get a different filter cartridge that works better than the cheap ones you get at Walmart. Do they actually work better? And is it worth it to get them for one season?

So, currently I'm still using the dinky little 1000gph cartridge filter/pump that fame with my pool. I was thinking about upgrading to Intex's 2650gph sand filter/pump, but I have a question about that. We're planning on upgrading to a "real" AGP next year, probably around 15' x 52" round...

I don't do cameras, but this is pretty much perfect.

Heh. The rules will certainly be laid down ... and while I'm the favorite aunt, I'm also the one that every one of those kids knows for absolute sure that what I say goes--that I will not tolerate disobedience or disrespect of any sort, and I have no compunctions against grounding them, even in...

I have that particular page bookmarked on my phone, and I've read it more times than anything else. I have to keep reading it, because Mom keeps asking me to explain things to her!

Never did introduce myself, did I? Hi! I'm munky--well, Kendra, but everyone calls me munky! I live in Naylor, Arkansas--which most people, even locals, have never heard of. It isn't even really a town. It's what Arakansans call a "populated area". So, to give you a slightly better idea, it's...

Re: Setup - Intex Ultraframe 14' x 48", 4600 gallons Okay, on first fill, with the test kit I to at Walmart last year, my results were: FC 0 CC 0 pH 6.8 (possibly actually lower) TA 30 Pool calculator tells me to add: 36 oz. 6% bleach 23 oz. CYA 20 oz. Borax 72 oz. baking soda So, question...

Re: Setup - Intex Ultraframe 14' x 48", 4600 gallons Doesn't look like I can get it that cheaply anymore, but much better than the Intex price, still. In the meantime, no readings yet. Pool is still filling. When I tried to I stall the pump, I discovered one of the hoses is missing the inner...

Thanks for the replies! I'm leaving work and headed for the store shortly, and very much appreciate the advice! Alas, the 2650 sand pump would most definitely have to wait for another paycheck--or two. But I'll make do until we decide which one we want. Pics will have to wait until I can steal...

Okay, so I'm a bit late getting the pool set up for this season, but I started filling it yesterday, after fixing a leak I found when I tried to start filling it the day before. When I get home from work in the morning, I'll install the pump and finish filling, provided I don't find any other...
