We have the Intex Filter Pump 1,000 Model 637R. We called Intex and asked if it was UL rated and they left us on hold and checked and came back with, "Yes, they are all UL rated". I clarified if she meant that all of the Filter Pumps are UL rated and was told, "yes". However I don't see the UL rating symbol on the pump so doesn't that mean they are not UL rated and safety checked for shock etc?
I'm asking because we have an Intex above ground pool (6 x 9.6ft) and I have great difficulty getting the tubes we use to clean the pool air free from outside and my back ends up being in lot of pain so I usually have to rely on DH to clean it and that isn't fair to him. I want to go inside and clean it but I don't feel like that would be very safe, so I usually wait for him to clean it.
To cleaning we have a long plastic tube/hose connected to a smaller looking attachment similar to what household vacuums use. We connect one end to an outlet and cover the second outlet after all air is out of the hose system. It works great, it is just the setup that I am having issues with.
The chemicals have been in balance for the last week after SLAMMING the pool 3 weeks ago. It is 85 degrees and I am so ready to go in, but it is too dirty after the windy day we had yesterday.
So am I correct, that I really should not be inside the pool with the filter running?
Just checked levels with Taylor K-2006 kit
FC - 5.4 (added 2.7oz after testing to bring it up)
CC- .2
CYA - 40
PH - 7.8
TA - 120ppm (hmm...a little on the high side). I’ll tested after adding chlorine and then see what the level is. I think it is ok between 80-120ppm correct? I think adding chlorine effects this by bringing it down if I remember correctly? So it is probably fine
