    Heavy Duty Pool Ladder needed...I'm WAY over limit on the included one!!!

    There are posts on pinterest where people have made steps for inside of their pool out of plumping pvc and trex decking. Try looking there for some ideas. I wouldn't use wood or a fiberglass ladder in the pool.

    Pool Deck in progress.... - - - Updated - - - Its about 5" x 10' and it only cost around $30.00!! When I bought my house there was a new wheelchair ramp that had recently been installed. I took it apart and was able to use all of the pressure treated lumber for the deck. I've still got to...

    16X48 Ultra Frame Intex Pool Filter Upgrade

    Does anyone have any idea how to clear up my pool cloudiness? It's still very cloudy from the initial back washing of the zeo sand. I tried vacuuming what settles to the bottom and have run the pump longer than normal but its not improving.

    mulia, Thanks again for replying. I took the skimmer out of the pool. I tried adjusting it different ways and it would work for a little while but then stop. I think I will eventually put in a thru-the-wall skimmer. I would like to hard plump the lines to see if I can get a better result. I just...

    mulia, Thank you for replying. The cloudiness in the water is from the dust left from manufacturing the zeosand. I just don't know how to get rid of it or what I did wrong in the back washing process. I tried back washing again last night and every time I turn my pump back on I get a new cloud...

    Can anyone give any advice? I installed the new sand filter and pump this weekend. The pool store convinced me to use ZeoSand. I back washed the sand until the water was clear, rinsed and turned the filter back on. (I back washed the sand for a long time, enough that the water level was just...

    Do you think the Intex 14" sand filter would be worth getting? I wanted the 16" but most sites look like they are suddenly out of stock &/or no longer available.

    Thanks for the above replies. I just got a Salt Water Generator on sale, it was normally $175 and I got it for $87 because the box was open but it was never used. I don't have any experience with salt water but from reading on the forums here I understand that's the way to go. I will also be...

    Would I be better off getting a new pump/filter combo? I would like to do whatever is the easiest. What size would you recommend? Would the 12" at this link work? http://www.intheswim.com/p/intex-sand-filter-systems - - - Updated - - -

    16X48 Ultra Frame Intex Pool Filter Upgrade

    I just set up my new 16X48 Ultra Frame Intex Pool. It came with a 1500 gph pump and filter. http://www.kmart.com/intex-16%27-x-48inch-ultra-frame-swimming-pool/p-004W001611963005P The pump does not seem to have enough pressure so I am worried it will not stay clean. You cannot even feel the...
