    Intex 22' pool, any tips on how to fold/roll the liner for overwinter storage?

    I would if I could but neither of us would survive. The last few years here we have had extended periods below freezing that would cause issues. The pool is also in one of the least ideal locations possible. We have no back yard to speak of so its off to the side of our house about 6 feet from...

    The time has come, any last minute tips?

    Well thanks to a lot of hard work and good tips from here and elsewhere our Intex 22' x 52" pool went up last year and stayed up as long as I wanted it to. I took it down in early fall, rolled it up, and put it in the garage up off the floor. Its time to put it back up. I plan on re-following...

    Blasted Intex and their two size handles, anyone worked this out?

    So this weekend I noticed a couple spots that need a bit of a scrub in the pool where algae once had started to take hold so I figured I need to brush it down, time to buy a brush. While I was at sporting goods store I saw an Intex 10" brush, and a 'pool maintenance kit' with a large curved...

    Water turning green

    Will remove them for now then. on the CYA, my pool is in direct sun from sunup till about 4:30pm.

    Water turning green

    Definitely need to do more reading. CYA is new to me (last time I dealt with pool chemistry I was a teenager and that was 24+ years ago. At that time all we used was liquid chlorine and tablets. The guy at homedepot told me to add one bag of shock...

    Water turning green

    Ok, so my water is steadily turning green over the last 3 days. Chlorine is at 5.0 (or higher) and ph is low at 6.8 or lower. What should be my next steps? Should I just assume the green is Algae and SLAM or? 10,000 gallon 22' pool Intex with original 2,500gph pump/filter. Should I replace the...

    Leveling better for next year....

    Ok, so wife got us a 22' x 52" Intex this year. I being overweight, out of shape and unable to afford renting a bobcat undertook the monumental task of leveling by hand. In our case the only viable place to put so large a pool is on one side of our house. I am blessed that we are on a mild...

    HELP! Pool Legs Sinking!!

    Be extremely careful when jacking like this. I followed the picture I found on another site that showed how to use a bottle jack and some lumber to do this and the very first post I tried to jack the lumber dolly I had made kicked out and hit me pretty hard. In the end I decided to drain the...
