    Intex 12x24 Doesn't circulate surface water well

    Are you still using the stock pump that came with your pool? I found that the stock Intex pump just did not seem to move enough water. When I upgraded the pump to the next size up last year I saw a definite up tick in the output fron the returm. It wasn't until this season, when I got rid of...

    adding another return intex ultra frame

    Yep, that is the one you want. I installed that on my Intex pool a few weeks ago. It's amazing the difference in my return volume after getting the Intex plungers out of the system and having that skimmer installed. You're gonna love it!

    This is our seventh year with an Intex pool. We find the cost spread over two yearts is really affordable. Our first was a 10'x 30" Intex Easy Set. It lasted two seasons, side wall punctures and leaks on the top blow up ring forced an upgrade to a 12'x 36" Easy Set, it lasted another two...

    Charlie, I would love to see the info and pics for your wood fired heater. I have been running the idea about building one. But the small On-Demand electric heaters also look intriguing. So anything that you can post would be great. Thanks Jeff
