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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

So I got my hard piping done, but with the curve of the pool, it put stress on the threading.... So how do you handle this?? Return line, 1st hookup on the pool

So I went out and checked the pool today (only been up 2 days, and have another issue, anyway) and the pool level dropped A TON see pic... only thing I can figure it came from the pump (wasn't ran) look at the pics and tell me what you think?? You can see where it came from (dirt trail) and...

So a handful of years ago with our 16' round I tried out a SWG system.. seemed to work ok.. but after a little while, my diode that makes the gas was getting deposits on it pretty quick.. (seemed like i was cleaning it 2 or 3 times a week) Any ideas??? I just fill up from city water (we are...

So rented a transit laser level, got my blocks all leveled out... Come to find out I am a little farther off grade then I thought I was.. a few of the blocks are about 2" higher than the insulation sheeting I have under the pool... Is this a huge issue, or are the blocks more important (ok NM...

So I went and did a search... but only 1 I found that really covered it.. The pics arent working:mad: So anyone have any other links that might work?? I do MUCH better with pictures lol I only have 3 maybe 4 legs that need raised... vs trying to lower all the others

SO I know it has been covered a bunch, but I cant find what I am looking for searching. Anyone had any luck adding one of these to an existing hole?? Last year I enlarged the inlet/outlet holes to bigger fittings. This year I want to add the skimmer, to where the return is (higher on wall)...

So i studied a TON last year, and of course as it does you loose a bit :) So have had the pool open for a few weeks now, so i decided to check my numbers (I am assuming the test kit sitting in the garage sealed is still good from last year??) Heres the numbers.. TA 90 CYA less then 20 CH...

Did the mad scientist thing, with the aide of my daughter, who at 12 liked the color changes, and liked watching/helping with the basic 2 tube test... SO here we go..... 16X48 Above Ground, been up a week now, tried the SWG, and I dont think its going to work, because my Calcium is probably to...

So it seems I should have gone with my gut (but was rushing) and cut boards to put under each leg....but I didnt :( So now i am having a few settle into the dirt, and getting the wave formed in my frames... So has anyone had any luck "jacking" up a leg to put something under it, while full...

Ok so I dont hi-jack the other guys thread about switching back to using chem vs machine :D So I am wondering if due to my extra high hardness of water, if using the SWG is just not going to work like i thought.... I cleaned off the cells last night, and cranked up the boost....(and really it...

Ok so bare with me as I am trying to learn the ins and outs here.....I have read my guts out, but am still perplexed... So last night and then right now, I tested....with the dunk strip FC 3 and .5 PH 6.8 both TA 120...but kinda dark so maybe 140.. and Hardness is out of the park 1000....we...
