    Intex Wall Mount Surface Skimmer Issues

    I finally figured out how to attach my fountain to the outlet port by ordering the deluxe maintenance kit which gave me port adapters. The kit also came with the Intex Wall Mount Surface Skimmer...which the installation video made look easy to install. Well the stupid bracket that came with it...

    Connecting a Pool Fountain to My Coleman 18 foot AGP

    I'm trying to go from the return connector inside the pool. I can't find a picture of it online and am not home to take a picture of it. The connectors inside the pool are not standard 1.5", 2", or 3" therefore I can't modify it to use PVC fittings. I am lost.

    Connecting a Pool Fountain to My Coleman 18 foot AGP

    That must be awesome. Tried to do this last night...attempts 3-6 of this venture. Nothing like what you described is seen on my Coleman connections. There is no eyeball to remove from the pool connections. I literally have tried everything I can for this darn thing and cannot figure it out. Very...

    Connecting a Pool Fountain to My Coleman 18 foot AGP

    Yeah, that was what I was about to ask. And is it causing the pump to be overpressurized? That looks pretty sweet and if it just connects to the return, I am willing to do that.

    Connecting a Pool Fountain to My Coleman 18 foot AGP

    Yup, I am back again! I thank everyone on this forum who has helped me work through issues of setting up my first pool. Got another question. Background: Our pool water has become as warm as bath water (one "virtue" of living in Florida). Did some research and found that attaching a pool...

    Which Came First: The "Sand Filter Pump" or the "Saltwater System"

    Re: Which Came First: The "Sand Filter Pump" or the "Saltwater System" So in summary (to see if I got this right), The SFP comes first and connects to the SWG, which then connects to the pool. I set everything up and put the salt in the pool. The salt needs to be in the...

    Which Came First: The "Sand Filter Pump" or the "Saltwater System"

    Re: Which Came First: The "Sand Filter Pump" or the "Saltwater System" Sorry, I see that is confusing. I am trying to see what order to connect the SFP and SS to the pool. So it goes pool output to SFP, then the SS connects to the SFP and then to the pool input? As far as...

    Which Came First: The "Sand Filter Pump" or the "Saltwater System" I got my Coleman 18 foot AGP all set-up and the water is full. Now I need to know how to set-up the separate "Sand Filter Pump (SFP)" and separate "Saltwater System (SS)." If you could help answer my questions below I would...

    Trying to Upgrade my Coleman Pump

    Thanks very much! The closest Academy Sports is about 30 minutes away for me. The pump/filter combo I was looking at was Intex...but it was the saltwater version. Was told that the water in my area is so good that I don't need the extra cost and hassle of a saltwater system. I do not know if we...

    Trying to Upgrade my Coleman Pump

    Hello! My wife and I bought our first above-ground pool and got the 18 foot Coleman. We have done a lot of research in regards to the pool filters/pumps and have also gone to some pool supply stores (Leslie's was the best). The research and stores all lead to the fact that the "out of the box...
