    Yearly Intex Setup

    I would put down some sand and then a tarp, but that is my $.02 worth, mine sits on 16"x16" patio pavers (Deck doubled as a basketball area in the 'off-season' but have left pool up for 3 seasons yeah yeah I know) but this fall taking down pool, will rip up the pavers and relocate them to...

    Ultra Frame 24x52 foot not quite level

    Rich, here is another thought on filling it back up. if the town you are in has a Volunteer Fire Department, you could possibly ask them if they can help fill it for you. Some towns will allow them to do this, they call it 'pump training' and something about filling up a pool with a 5" supply...

    "Real" AGP and Salt Water Systems

    and what's funny, is on their door, they had a sale on 25# of chlorine. I do have to admit, most pool places make their $$$$ on chems. not me, with help from TFP and my SWG, I am nice and crystal clear! :scratch: now to get the TF-100 kit :)

    "Real" AGP and Salt Water Systems

    ah, that makes total sense. Their big product they were pushing for SW pools I want to say was Simple-Salt. Below is a snippit from the website. and I don't believe it one bit! <snip> The Simple Salt System offers such advanced technology that it is truly a low-maintenance system; set it...

    "Real" AGP and Salt Water Systems

    That is what I thought, and with the newer pools, they are more of a resin construction instead of the old metal. It was probably just the pool place trying to make more money on a fiberglass IGP. I won't be going back to this place at all, only thing I needed them for was my new access ladder...

    Leslie's Pools says they cannot help me so I came here.

    another thought if you have a Intex Knock-Off like the ultra-Frame pools, go get yourself some of the 1'x1' bricks from either Home Depot/Lowes/Menards etc, and place that under each leg, will give a solid surface for your legs and possibly prevent the sinking issue you are having. Don't give...

    "Real" AGP and Salt Water Systems

    Just wanted to throw this out to the masses and see what sticks. I was in a pool place yesterday and asked some questions about 'real' salt-water systems. ie. Hayward Aqua-Trol etc.. they (Pool Place) said that it isn't recommended for vinyl lined pools, salt-water systems are usually for...

    well I have the large sand filter from Hayward, my pressure hasn't really gone up since I have collected all the 'junk' it is a 300# filter so it will take some time. But when I do backwash, it would be for like 2-3 minutes tops. you might try the rinse gig with your filter,

    I just used the teflon tape, yes the white tape on the blue spool. I did at least 3 or 4 turns around the threads to ensure a good seal - - - Updated - - - it could be with all the **** we had with the rain and your bradford's, it could have just gotten dirty. I know my Hayward is still...

    Hey Beens, did you try any Teflon tape on your fittings? when I did my 'hard' plumbing at the pool point, all my fittings have teflon tape on them.

    Beens. You could do what I did and do the 90° elbow at the return get a ball valve and then put your hose fitting on the ball valve going down. You could use flex pvc pipe from there to ur pump do u have the Hayward skimmer too? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
