Ok I mostly did this follow-up post, to see if pictures attached from my phone. Anyway the 1 picture is opening, and is my 2nd worst opening look in the 6 or so years. The other picture is after running the pump and SWG, for 2 days, with a shock treatment and the opening algae one. Plus 3\4 of...

I don't think i have ever dealt with them... Sure I order a few things from an online 1, my shut down and opening chems, a solar and winter blanket here and there... But nothing about testing or anything like that . I just order the test kits from the ones TFP suggests and go on my own.

So for a cheaper foray into SWG pools, get an intex swg, I have looked at other and, ohh boy for me they are a little pricy. But the intex has served me well, both an older one, and now this newer 1. I still run a few pucks on occasion to keep the Cyanuric acid there to help with the chlorine...

impressed you flipped the wood 90 degrees so it sets across the grain instead of with it. There are like 4" thick by 8" wide by 16" long blocks you can get. no worry about breaking or bowing. You better make it a big enough area to have some room to slide, and then watch the legs as it fills...

or use the jb weld made for water areas

While the filter isnt the end all be all for clarity.. Having it figured out aides the issues by getting rid of those particulates that cause some of the haze, but aren't affected by the chems. By all means add a FEW shut offs, a little redundancy goes a long way down the road. Don't get to...

Thanks. I think I tracked it down to a new flapper for the skimmer mouth.. it's odd it restricts it enough to cause that though.

So as of now I am having to manually turn on the pump, at the pump (I run it over night so the motor stays nice and cool) Anyway, when it shuts down it is full of water (the lines, filter, pump basket etc) When I kick it on, it starts going, and then after 10 secs, it doesn't draw from the...

There is this one to... And while searching around, there are other adaptations.. Go search in youtube or on google intex pvc adapters.. Theres a bunch I never saw before 1:40 if it doesnt start there

CT is wright, or if you still have and want to use some of the intex hoses/fittings. There is a bushing you get 1.5-1.25 I think it is... Ill check and take a picture when out in my shed again. Anyway you can use the bushing to connect straight to pvc, but still have the swivel of the intex to...

Something I posted on another thread, just a thought.... And mine is a 1hp pump, for a 12x24. I am looking to get either a 1 or 1.5 dual speed, for the next upgrade to my system. Anyway here it is I was running a few different sand filters over the years, as I tweak to find the best option...

I was running a few different sand filters over the years, as I tweak to find the best option (slightly used deals nearby) The sand filter was ok.... but with a salt pool, it was harder to find a place to backwash that didn't kill the lawn or garden area. SOOOO I found a smoking deal and I do...

Until I get the time to trench out for adding power (its for a shed and future hot tub, and dedicated power for pool) In the mean time I have been stuck with an extension cord. And I am getting tired of unplugging and plugging back in. I have a few left over smart plugs I thought about using...

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)
