Not following. I don't know how I can trace the wires when they go underground. I'm not ripping it all up. Can anyone review my attachments and verify that the wiring diagram and the matching wiring configuration on the old pump indicates 230v ?

Thanks. Does it matter which wire from meter (red or black) goes to wire to pump (black or white)?

So my pump died and I don't know if it was running on 115 or 230? It's on a double breaker, which suggests 230, but the wires are black, white and green, which suggests 115.... The old pump wiring diagram, if I'm reading it correctly looks like it was wired for 230 (high voltage). I want to...

Gotta love Amazon- even though I've had it 8 months they said they'll accept return for a refund. But it's full of sand and I still need a filter pump... theyre cheaper right now on Amazon than when I bought it so I'd save money, just don't want the hassle of emptying sand and returning lol

True- thanks for advice but I got the pump off amazon warehouse deals. It was an 'open box' item and cheap. Guess that's why it's cracked!

I bought an Intex sand filter last year and have taken my sweet time to replace the crappy stock cartridge filter because I needed to cut out the drain and return holes to accommodate the larger plumbing. Anyway. I completed it and hooked it all up and discovered a pool of water emanating from...

I'm gonna get this when I use up all my cartridges for existing pump. How many returns and inlets do you have on your pool and are you able to leave inlets/skimmer on while you vacuum or do you still need dedicated suction?

Hooked up the new control unit last night and it's working fine. Hope it lasts. The control unit was complete except the clear plastic tubing, the flow sensor and the two electrolytic plates. To replace, had to unplug flow sensor and two plates, then unscrew plastic tubing from old unit and...

I don't think the salt test is necessary. The test strips should be accurate enough if you're using them as directed. What is make and model is your SWG? How old is it? With my experience, it seems as though it is faulty.

Thought so, thanks! But then I won't be able to use my Intex vacuum, with a Hayward inlet.. Main thing I want is elbows so the hoses don't hang on the return and inlets, dragging them down at an angle. Also want to maintain flexibility for liner movement. So if I use the 40mm Intex return and...

I've been unable to find it and read they modified their design. I keep going back and forth on how I want to do this. Now I'm thinking of using Hayward 1.5" returns and inlets, with 1.5" PVC 90deg elbows, then connecting the Intex hoses. How would I connect 40mm Intex hoses to PVC?

Got my new control unit in the mail yesterday. I'll be hooking it up this evening probably. Looks like it's essentially a whole new unit minus the clear plastic tubing that the hoses connect to. Fair play to Intex support. Hoping I get more longevity with this one. I'll update later.

Thanks. How did you then connect that to your Intex pump?

I know there is a bunch of threads on this but all I've found are products that are no longer carried by Lowes or Home Depot or the manufacturers have altered their designs (conduits, box adapters etc.). So, I currently have the smaller 1.25" hoses and want to upgrade to 1.5" (40mm) Intex hoses...

Off topic, but what did you use to do your plumbing? Connectors and hose?

Progress pics? We like pics :)

I'm using Aquachek salt test strips, which I've heard from others are +/- 400 ppm. If my readings are wrong though, it's strange how the swg was working fine for weeks and then just decided the salt was too high when no salt was added? In total I have only ever added 120 lbs of salt, which is...

My pool is in my sig and I got the Krystal clear swg system for 7000 gal pools. I love it...when it works :) Having an issue with it now that hopefully will be fixed under warranty (replacement). I've heard a lot of people have great success with it so hoping I just got a bad egg. Intex support...

Having same issue. Read this? Intex SWG high salt error

Got replacement and it worked for a couple days on the boost cycle. Yesterday it started throwing up the high salt error again without me adding any more salt. Called intex again and they're sending me a new control unit. Sigh. Hope it's just bad luck and I get a working one! As a side note, my...

Thanks! What about the salty taste? Do I just have a sensitive tongue? :)

My Swg recommended 110lb of salt for my pool size (3000ppm). I dumped in 3 x 40 lb bags (120 lbs). Current reading of salt is about 2600 ppm. This is several weeks later, after Swg randomly started complaining of high salt, and after lots of rain and even adding fresh water to try and dilute to...

I've been reading tfp for several months in preparation of having my own pool. Finally got it up just over a month ago. I went with a small 15' x 48" Intex as my first as I didn't want to invest too much if things went awry... :) Besides, I have a 4 yr old and a 4 mo. old so 15' is big enough...

Called intex and they're replacing the titanium plates. Seems to be a fairly sensitive part, from what I've read. Hopefully it's not a recurring issue...

That's good to know. I'm having the same problem. Did they replace the titanium plates, or something else?

Last week I cleaned my intex Krystal clear Swg for the first time as there was a lot of salt build up. I used white vinegar and an old toothbrush to get the majority off and then let it soak in vinegar for a few hours. After that I put it back together and ran the pump for 24 hours before...
