I will like take off the multiport valve and cover the sand filter opening with something clever (have no idea).

Ok. I’ll check. As I’m doing the plumbing. And thinking about unions Any reason to bring in the sand filter or can I leave it outside once drained I brought in my smaller one but this is bigger.

Does the pool pump have to be bolted down to something? I’m installing it on pavers. So not sure how to do that if needed.

Circupool smartflow Vp 1.5 thp https://www.discountsaltpool.com/circupool-smartflo-variable-speed-pool-pump-15-thp

Going with the Circu pool smartflo vsp and rj-30 swg.

Will be installing a 8000 gallon pool soon. Was looking to upgrade the one speed pump with a variable pump. Will add swg as well Any recommendations from the group? I was planning on getting one from discount salt pool. Thanks

@Mdragger88 I did the install of the intex- hand cut the grass etc- pain in the butt. I am inclined to normal try it myself but had a small cardiac event last week so I am no longer able to do that kind of work (per the boss). Hence need to outsource it. I will definitely outsource the...

@Mdragger88 We are trying to find an independent installer but maybe out of luck. Thanks for the helpful tips. I still have the intex swg. Thanks for the timer link. I’m not electrically inclined. Shocked myself as a kid! We are not burying it. They do recommend backfilling the excess...

I asked they don’t. They only have two pumps. Both waterway. 1 hp and 1 1/2 hp.

I’m not sure if we need permits. We have a existing intex pool and an electrician ran a gfci switch near by. I’ll ask the pool installer. No mention of bonding by the pool company. Is this bc the lower part is buried?

I’m not sure if they will install a swg when they install the pool. I’ll have figure out how to install it and run it only when the pump is on. Is that something an electrician has to do or can a novice do it?

They already threw is the $100 for permasalt this weekend. We won’t fall for that. I calculated the pool vol to be about 8000. Any recommended swg these days? We only used intex swg in the past.

Like all of you we bought an intex pool at the start of covid. It served us well. 15x 48”. We ran a swg and the pool is no longer level and the poles are rusting We went to family leisure today and are looking at a 18 x52” round corrugated steel with resin top and resin verticals (asahi pool)...

What are “the laterals”. Where can I find them to tighten. We have some silica in the pool this year. (Year three).

Wow. I’m jealous and very happy for you. You did an amazing job. What swg did you go with

Only one of the cells is in stock via intex. The other is out of stock. My have to go to eBay or buy a new system

No. Not crusted over. Already soaked in vinegar once the season opened bc of the low salt level.

update salt now at 3800. ( never been that high) Swg stays on for 30 seconds then says low salt. reading from the return is 0.5 higher than the other end of the pool. thoughts? What detects the salt levels? The cells of the machine?

Have checked my salt with the Taylor salt kit. It is at 3200. The target for my pool is 2600-2800. I have soaked my cells with vinegar for 90 min I choose to run the swg for 6 hours and it was start and May run for several hours but eventually I get a low salt error 91. I don’t see any scale in...

We did the same setup in this order dirt. Foam ( taped) tarps pool foam then intex tarp then another tarp Added “ poor mans french drain” to drain water away from pool coming from sloped grass We may have over estimated the size of the foam. things I would do differently. If your tarp is...

@DonnieTheMan we have the same attachment to the pool. How did you build the sprinkler?

@cowboycasey In January is your pump connected to your pool when you add the chlorine. we are in AR as well and I covered the pool and put everything in the garage. my cover is not as long as @charliej. I wish it was.

any kind of tarp? How do you secure it to the pool?

@kellyfair that looks like non intex tubing.How did you attach that the the plungers?

Yes you could cut the liner at the intake. I cut the liner at the return to increase the flow back to the pool. When I looked earlier this year Intex did not have the larger intake valve available.

You could do the double plunger. It was not available at the start of covid when we put in the pool. So I did this instead. Ran 1 hose from intake to pump. This valve is the oem valve

I guess it depends on if you are going to run 1.25 in hose or 1.5 in hose. Your flow will be limited with the 1.25 hose and t junction. If you are going to stick with the t junction and 1.25 hose I think you need these. Intex part 25007 this will let you connect the 1.25 in hose to the pump...

You need the 1.25” to 1.5” adapter INTEX 1.25" to 1.5" Type B Hose... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000RSICZU?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I did not keep the t junction. if you want to keep the t junction then you will need more hoses and more adapters and more plungers.

You have what I got with our pump. You can use the plunger valves, but it works without it. I find the plunger valves to be helpful. Here is our return. here is one intake. Outside pool and inside pool. here is my other intake attached to my skimmer and pump. I capped one intake to...

I think some pumps came with more the one valve. My pump only came with a return valve. (Water back to pool) mine did not come with the intake valve but some older ones have. Can you attach a photo of the valves received with your pump?
