    Replace pump or ?

    I have an Intex AGP with sand filter and SF70110 (Intex) pump. The filter and pump are either 2 or 3 years old (can't find receipt at the moment). The pump is normally plugged into a heavy duty extension cord (probably a no-no but the only way I can do it) to an outlet on my porch. The pump...

    Vacuuming woes

    loss of vacuum, leaking pump

It's about 5 years old I think and I'd like to replace the setup with a better filter/pump combo. I have no idea where to start...

    Just got a new liner for our pool and set it up yesterday. Currently have about a foot of water in and adding. At what point should I start adding bleach? We are on city water so there is a small amount of chlorine in it. I have ordered one of the test kits recommended here but it won't be...

    replace or patch Intex ultraframe liner?

    Hi, new here to the forums. I have skimmed through a lot of posts and looked through the pool school and will definitely be using the instructions here to maintain our pool better than it has been in the past. We have a 16x48 Intex ultraframe that we've used for the past 3 summers. My husband...
