Hi from a total newbie!

[Mlegaspi]

Hello from Eastern PA! We bought my cousin’s 2020 Intex Prism frame pool, 15’ x 48”, 4400 gallons and just set it up. They gave us the Intex Rechargeable Handheld vacuum (model #: CL1704) but may upgrade to one that hooks to the skimmer.

We replaced the pump with an Intex Sand Filter Pump (model #: SF90110-1).
We also replaced the ladder with a Vinyl Works Slide & Lock A-Frame pool ladder.

We added an Intex Saltwater System w/ ECO (model #: ECO5110).
We also added a Hayward Dyna-Skim Automatic Skimmer (model #: SP1091LX).

The little water test strips that came with the SWG are very hard to read so we’ll bring a water sample in to our local pool store to be tested.

Lots to learn but looking forward to a great summer with it!

Pool Store tests are usually inaccurate (check this post to have an idea). You are going to need an accurate and reliable test kit to keep your water crystal clear and sanitary. See Test Kits Compared
