    Fittings for Intex to Hayward!

    Hello all! I have an Intex pool that we have converted to Hayward skimmer and eyeball returns. It's been about 3 years since we did so, and I swear I'm having brain issues and cannot remember what all we need. :scratch: Anyway, I remember having to buy these GAME adapters for something, but...

    new pump?

    I've decided to upgrade to a sand filter pump, and ordered this one https://www.amazon.com/Intex-Krystal-Filter-Ground-110-120V/dp/B00GSPHS7E but now I'm second-guessing myself. My pool is 22 x 52, and holds about 10,740 gallons per Intex manual. Have a Haywood wide-mouth skimmer installed...

    Glass in above ground pool, help!!!

    My son jumped in the pool wearing a diving mask and hit face first. The glass exploded and cut his face a little. Not his eyes, thank god! But we have safety glass (little chunks) on the bottom. We have a Haywood diver Dan vacuum but I'm scared it will drag the glass and tear the liner. I'm...

    Does your deck cover your pump?

    We are considering building a deck, probably around 1/2 of the pool, and the place it makes the most sense is on the side near our house. BUT, this is where the inlet and outlet connections are, and the pump. Is there a way to kind of lengthen the hoses so you can move the pump farther around...

    where/how to add chemicals??

    Just set up pool this weekend, last night realized what a pain the taller walls are!! Our old pool was only 36" tall so I was able to walk completely around the perimeter to add in chemicals diluted with pool water in a bucket! Between tripping over the pavers for the legs, and me being a short...

    How hard does the sand need to be??

    Had a company come out and dig up sod, level ground, and lay a few inches of sand. They watered it and tamped it three times. When I went to check out the ground, when I stepped on the sand, my shoes sank slightly and left footprints. Is this too soft to set the pool on? 22 x 52 Intex ultra...

    About to fill, what chemicals to start?

    Hello all, first post here! We are installing a larger pool, 22 feet x 52 inches Intex ultraframe ABG pool. Will be filling this weekend. Do I test the tap water and then add chemicals according to poolmath, or do I need to add a certain amount to "start" the chemical processes and then test...
