Good to know it isn't just me. My pump died last year so I need something to replace it.

Is anyone else finding that pumps are either backordered or not available? I need a replacement system and can't find any that are available. (above ground)

I hope it is just needing to dry out. I unplugged it and place it off the ground so hopefully it will dry out and be good to go. Obviously I need to get the plugs off the ground.

This is my second season with the pool. I have the SWG and the pump plugged into an outside power outlet. The safety outlet with the special switch (can't remember the name) is in the bathroom. I went to turn on the SWG and pump and had no power. I went inside the house and reset the outlet...

The salt reading is 3130. I was thinking I needed to increase the CYA a little. I'm always a little iffy when doing the CYA test (do I see the dot or do I not see the dot is always the question). The CYA has been in for a week now. I'm chlorinating with the SWG now. I started with bleach...

Here are the results of my latest test: FC: 11 CC: 0.5 TC: 11.5 TA: 100 CH: 50 CYA: 60 PH: 7.5 Any suggestions or are my levels good at this point? I realize the chlorine is high but that will drop. Do I need to add some more cynauric acid??

Okay here are the newest numbers: FC: 4 CC: 0 TC: 4 TA: 90 CH: 60 CYA: 60 PH: closer to 6.8 than prior day. Going to add more soda ash to get the pH up. Any other suggestions?

I added some bleach and soda ash. I will recheck the levels tomorrow.

I'm not very ingenious when it comes to making stuff.

Those are apparently no longer made. I've checked around online trying to find this item and it is "out of stock" everywhere.

I'd would love a shelf attached to my AGP. Any ideas of how to create one or where to get one?

What FC level do you think I should be trying to reach?

Thank you everyone. This site is always such a help with any questions I have.

I have my pool setup now. I've added chlorine and cynauric acid. This is my second year with the pool. Last year I set it up late in the summer and didn't get too much time with it. Below are the results of my TF-100 testing kit for my 4600 gallon Ultra Frame Intex Pool with SWG and 2500...

Would the Dyna Skimmer fit the 1 1/2" hole that the current intex occupies? - - - Updated - - - I pulled the plastic out too and realized I would never get it back in. Just doesn't make sense to have the holes there if they will be covered up with the plastic.

I have the 14 foot round (4 feet deep) Intex Ultra Frame pool. This is my second year with it. As many have done, I upgraded to the 2500 g/hour pump. Of course this meant I had to cut bigger holes for the intake and outlet nozzles. My question deals with the adjustable pool inlet nozzle...

I've had leak issues also. I bought a mask and got in the water with drops of food coloring. That helped me locate a couple of leaks. Close examination helped locate others. I found a couple just walking outside if the pool looking down. My holes have looked like small dark spots.

There are many pools pads to chose from and it gets confusing quickly. I plan on taking my ultra frame intext down in a few weeks and this fall, winter and spring I'm going to put down around 900 lbs (or sand). Already have 870 lbs there. What is the best choice for a pool pad? Gorilla 2"...

I'm losing around an inch of water a day. I will check about jacking the legs up. I did find some small holes and patched them. Still losing water though so evidently I missed some. Got in the pool today and found a few more in the same area and patched those. Thanks for the help. It...

I've installed my pool and things have been great. Last week I noticed I was losing water. After inspection, I realized the pavers I put down under each foot are "poking" through (basically I can see the square shape of the paver from inside the pool). Not all have done this. However I'm...

Absolutely beautiful. Wish I had the money to create that. Wonderful job.

I have to say I LOVE the smaller pond to the side. That is great. I've always liked the small yard ponds and what a great idea to use it as part of the landscaping.

I've never been in a pool store. I'm curious to go in to see what accessories they have but after reading these forums I just know I would get screwed so I'm staying away. pwrstrk: Thanks for checking on the pH. All this chemistry stuff is rather enjoyable

Okay here are my current numbers: pH 7.5 FC 6 CC 0 TC 6 TA 110 CH 50 CYA 70 My levels are holding pretty steady. The pH went up a little. Should i bring it back down to 7.0-7.2?

I know I'm a few months early with this question but I'm wanting to do some landscaping around my pool and the type of landscaping is going to be determine by whether I take the pool down for the fall/winter or leave it up. Everyone can see below what type of pool I have. I live right outside...

I have to take my pool down during the fall and winter months and have to keep that in mind when landscaping. Have to have something easy to work around. This looks perfect. The plants can easily be moved during installation. Where did you get the big rocks from?

I would be quite happy with your landscaping. My intex pool will have to be taken down during the fall and winter months and I need to keep that in consideration before landscaping around mine. This looks like it would be easy to work around when taking down and putting up the pool.

Thanks for all the help (and thank you for all the future help also).

I ordered an Intex Small Blue Strainer Hose B Adaptor. From what I can tell, I can add a 45 degree angle pvc fitting along with some pipe and a cap (drill holes in the cap or leave the cap off) and that will create an aerator for me. I'm putting all my trust in you guys. There are so many...

Well the pH has stayed at 7.2 for the past two days. I added acid to lower it due to the high TA. If I leave the TA alone should I try to increase the pH to 7.4-7.6?
