I am going with D, all of the above lol After my research on getting a better pump/filter. The one big hang up I found, was the bonding and\or the grounding for intex pools. Now I am sure most of us have done some "things" so the next part is at your own peril. I figure I will just make sure...

Well I can't find it now... I ran it for a few hours and it cleaned a good 95% of the pool, including the curves on the bottom.. Pretty impressive.... AND I must say, a LARGE cartridge filter is awesome... no possible issue with sand blow, that I was having before. Dont get me wrong, the sand...

So I tried searching around for the info I needed, and came up with the same info I already knew. Sand filters NEED to be backwashed frequently. Being in Utah and a huge drought, I figured that's not the best use of water. So I found a nice large Jandy cartridge filter and got a larger pump...

I did the pink (or blue) 1" boards. that one there looks like it could? disintegrate? over time?

I agree with seeing some pictures.. Looking to do the same myself. Filter/pump.. Already have the rigid pvc going

That was my question, about replacing the liner part, if it was a big pain or not

it is an intex, and I have the intex vac, and the penguin I just dont think the pump is strong enough for the penguin... If I gotta mess with hoses, I may as well just do it all at once lol

So I haven't measured my pool for probably a month. I base it off of "look/clarity" of the water. If it looks a little cloudy, I check to see if my pump ran (I have sense which measures my power in and out.) So I can check that app as it has found my pump, to see if and when it has ran...

just the foam

So I dont spam a bunch of posts, I have a few pictures in other threads.. We have a 12x24 intex, with foam, and with it wrapped (I wrapped because why not more protection from the elements??)

Sounds just like what I did last year, I didnt put all the pics in, but if you go look at some of my posts you can see the setup, prior to me adding rocks (now you cant see them at all)

So I tracked down a good deal on a 1.5 hp pump a few years ago.. Little did I realize at the time a 2 speed would have been better.. oh well for $100 i'll make it work. I currently run the intex pump/sand filter combo.. But it just doesn't have that ooomph for vacuuming. So I thought I would add...

do you have access to it from the side? Maybe dump some sand, then use (whatever size the hole is) a piece of PVC, with a cap or plug.... Pour some sand (or whatever media) and use that to push it in. Itll be tricky to make sure it doesnt go downward, or upward (unless you have like foam under...

I would think if its a machine made for it sure (pipe with sand and air coming out) but for a backyard handyman (as most of us probably are) ... ehhhh maybe not. Maybe contact a concrete lifting company.. see what they think. I mean they have to pump stuff where you cant see... See if they...

haven't done that yet, these pics were literally when I took the cover off.. The floaties are the pool pillows for ice (and to make it so water pooled for easy pump out) The spot on the floor is "debris/loose" things.. its the wall ones I am wondering why they formed But hey, how about that...

What's a rough amount of salt to add for opening? You know, after the drain down for closing. 12x24 rectangle, dropped about 6-8 inches or just below the skimmer

I run a tab floater on minimum opening. Just to help with that problem and to keep the cya enough so it doesn't ask burn off on the Utah sun.. so far zero issues

And I can't be more happy with my shut down. I had a round pool for like 5 yrs and learned from it (rectangle much easier to get cover off with no Crud getting in lol) But this thing is crystal clear. So question on the little mold spots on the sides? Is that just a condensation collection...

I drained just below the outlet/inlet holes (as thats what I have seen should be done in my research) I would love to keep it more full, I just worry about water getting behind them and splitting things. Thanks for the kind words.. I went a little to deep on the rocks hahah.. i was planning on...

What these 2 said... BUT it doesnt have to be electrical.. it can be regular slip reducers, you just have to sand off the raised size letters. Finding a gasket was a little harder, went to my hose supply and found some.. umm ill try and track down 1 and take a picture. But you cut your intex...

So how many leave theirs?? Or rather is it on the surface, or have your buried it?? How do you drain it?? I took mine apart and have it here and there around the yard hahahaha Trying to decide if i should reconfigure and put some drains inline so i can just leave it, and only take out the...
