Ok thanks. You answered my question to the left of the inlet which is what I was thinking but wanted to be sure because I cut a hole in the liner:) Thanks again,

Ok I have posted here before but this weekend is when I will be installing the new skimmer and we can't wait to dispose of the Intex over the wall. So in the below picture where is the best place to put the skimmer. The Intex inlet is to the left and the return is the one on the right which I...

No pictures;)

I knew I couldn't be the only one looking at doing this. Yes pictures are great. Nice work MIckelin just gave me more ideas. What are the pros and cons in eliminating the Intex plunger valves? Thanks again!

Picutres would be great if you dont mind. Thanks!

If you hard plumb do you have to be concerned of the movement the pool will make when you have 5 - 10yrs in the pool:D I ordered my wide mouth last night.

I understand that I have done that but some people do certain ways and I want to know why.

This is our second year with this Intex pool and somewhat no problems from last year. We said this year we wanted to get away from the over the wall Intex basket and go with a Hayward inside mount or whatever you guys/gals call it:) I have searched the forum and I'm now just confused...

For us unlucky Intex owners that have to drain and put our pools away until next spring need some help on the draining of the pool. So as most of you know this is our first run with a pool so I just assumed when I saw the drain on the outside of the pool that I will would be able to simply put...

Not sure how many folks are from the northwest but for those not we have been having a summer that none of us Washingtonians can remember. Let's just put it this way it was a good year to invest in the pool that we did. I would say for the past three weeks we have averaged in the mid 80's:)...

KirkMc you just took the words out of my mouth!! The toys and the pictures are awesome keep up the good work.

So I have the basic Intex Pump with Sand Filter(SF15110) with the basic over the wall skimmer. There are no problems with the pump and sand filter works awesome has lot's of suction and the return flow is good as well until I put on my Intex vacumn kit. What am I doing wrong? I submerged the...

Following the procedures on the tf-100 test kit.

Thank you Casey for your help!

Thank you Casey. What do you mean higher fc level and your filter should clear it up? My chorline was low last night when I tested before going to bed so I added bleach and it appears that is helping as well.

So when I did the chorline and PH test the yellow side was reading 5. Does that make sense?

Rookie results..... Chorline = 5 PH = 7.8 CYA = 50 TA = 70 CH= 25 --- way low when I tested on Friday I was in the high 200's Not sure how to post these scores so I listed out each one FC = 8 CC = 0 TC =8

Here are my results: Chorline = 5 PH = 7.8 CYA = 50 TA = 70 CH= 25 --- way low when I tested on Friday I was in the high 200's Not sure how to post these scores so I listed out each one FC = 8 CC = 0 TC =8

Will post numbers shortly.

Today was the true test for the pool. Had lots of folks adults and kids it was a good time. But as everyone was done the water in the pool seem a bit cloudy and it hasn't been like this before. What causes this and what test should I run to fix it. It isn't so bad that we can't see the...

We have a blue solar cover and need to know the do's and dont's. For instance here In the NW we are going to have weather in the 80's for the next week so do I un cover during the day and cover at night or leave it covered unless we are using the pool. Thanks

Ok I added my stabilizer last night and then added my bleach about an hour afterwards. Pump has been running since last night. This morning checked the sock and gave it a squeeze. As I have read here it's ok to swim with just adding these two components. I know my son will want to swim...

Since my cya is 0 and my fc is 0 can I add both the stabilizer and bleach in at the same time? Thanks

Ok so we put up the pool for the first time and have added nothing as of now. PH is 7.5 but my CYA is 0 but than again I haven't added anything as of now. So this tells me that I need stabalizer correct. If so what do I buy for stabalizer? Thanks

Dontaion made now just waiting for the approval:)

Your thinking was the same as us up here in the Northwest. We poured a 24x13 concrete pad our specs on the pad is 4" thick with rebar.

All is good here no leaks:)

Thank you Woody I will try that once the pool is up but. If I have a leak it's on the floor so a question I have is there an easy way to see the leak on the bottom of the pool. Just don't know if I should Continue the filling process if I think there might be a leak but visually I don't see...

OK filling up the Intex and can't tell if we have a leak? Might sound crazy but I laid my padding down Friday evening along with a tarp to go over the insulation then constructed the pool yesterday. We had rain Friday night and early Saturday morning so I can't tell if the tarp is wet due to...
