    Very confused

    I haven't gotten a CC reading thats why something doesn't seem right. The only reading i can get is on the PH, nothing else that test gets a reading. Thats all i was saying about CYA is that i have no reading on that either when i test it. So no CC, FC or CYA readings when i test the water even...

    Very confused

    I've done the slam process before so i fully understand how that all works. What i'm confused by is that the salt system is flashing a high salt code and it won't run but when we try to do a CYA test or even just the standard chlorine test we get no results at all.

    Very confused

    Hello All, I'm going to try and make this as short as possible. So we have an intex 20' pool that has been up for the last 2 years. Last year we had mad issues with algae and finally discovered at the end of the season that we had several broken laterals in the pump. So before we got the pool...

    Not sure what to do

    Now that i think about it, when you put your hand over the suction port while in the pool it doesn't stop the pump like the vac hose does. I'm not sure if that makes sense. - - - Updated - - - We've been testing the water every few days and the results have been ranging around 2.0 for chlorine...

    Not sure what to do

    We have the intex krystal clear 3000GPH sand pump. The vacuum is just a vac hose attached to a weighted down vac head. kinda like this one: Amazon.com : Milliard Air-Relief Weighted Pool and Spa Vacuum Head, 11 Garden Haven't seen any air bubbles come from the vac hose anywhere to indicate any...

    Not sure what to do

    So to make a long story as short as possible....My husband and I just finished hard plumbing out 20X52 intex pool. We also added a hayward wall skimmer as well. Everything has been great until we started to run into new issues. First off we can't stop algae from growing in the pool no matter...

    Actual Parts List for Hard Plumbing

    I know this has been talked about on here many times but i'm trying to find an actual parts list to do the hard plumbing on an intex pool. I've seen a ton of pictures but just not sure what to actually use on the inlet and outlet holes of the pool itself. The rest is pretty easy to figure out.

    Intex pool 20' wall skimmer question

    These are all great suggestions. We are thinking about not using either of these ports and just plugging them off but not sure what plug would hold up for the summer and winter months.

    Intex pool 20' wall skimmer question

    My husband and I have an intex pool from last year. We already have it opened and ready to go for this season. We want to install a through wall skimmer in the pool but the question we have is that the pool has two inlets that connect to the pump that clean the pool. We have a sand pump...

    Intex pump SF80110 won't turn on

    Thank you for your reply. We actually figured out it was the electrical plug on the pump. It was full of water and was rusted and just nasty. My husband replaced it with a new plug and its working better than it did with the original plug on it!

    Intex pump SF80110 won't turn on

    Just got the pool open for the season hooked up the pump and it won't turn on. Checked the breaker it didn't flip but turn it on and off anyways just to check. Plugged something else into the outlet that is used to verify no issues there. You can hear the timer clicking on the pump but it won't...

    Intex Ultra 20'x52" with Legs Sinking in the ground

    I am in desperate need of some advice. My husband and I installed an intex ultra 20'x52" pool about 3 weeks ago. When we installed the pool we made sure it was completely level at the time. But over the last week we have had extreme rain that has made the ground very soft. My husband just...

    Intex grids

    Hello All, my husband and I just purchased a new intex metal frame pool. We got the 20' x 52" with the sand pump. My concern/ question that we can't seem to figure out is; the pump and filter are up and running just fine but we have noticed that the on wall skimmers don't suck anything down into...
