intex

I searched the forum here for thoughts on a 110/120v heat pump and didn't find much in terms of actual usage / review, so I've gambled and bought this 35K BTU one from Amazon for $1,360 that should be here today. This is our 2nd year with our 9x18 Intex XTR and what my wife and I found last...

Hi All! Do I need to add any chemicals to my Intex 15’ round above ground pool during the winter? To close it, I just plugged all the hose holes, removed the filter and skimmer, shocked with liquid chlorine and covered with a thick black pool cover. Any other suggestions are welcome!

Greetings, We have the 20’ xtr intex pool. We prepped an area by removing sod, and compacting/leveling 22’ gravel pad. I have a gorilla pad to put over the gravel. I have 12”x12”x 1.5” pavers to put under the legs. Main questions: - is the gorilla pad enough protection from the gravel...

Hi all I've got a Plastic AGP and I'm plumbing all the kit up with standard 1.5 inch PVC pipe. However... just realised my Bestway SWG (Flowclear™ Hydrogenic 6 g/h Saltwater Chlorinator, as per image) has different size fittings. Measuring the thread, I think it's 2 1/4 inch (about 56mm?). How...

Hey all. First off. Thanks for your help! So my issue seems to be with alkalinity. I just got a new Intex 14’ x 42” pool. I have it all set up. I’m using a SWG but have kickstarted with some LC. The only number that is really off is my TA. It’s about 210. pH was at 7.5 till I threw in...

We have had trouble keeping this pool clean with the included Krystal Klear swg and sand filter. Especially in the corners like the flow just isn't getting there. We were considering whether a stronger pump would help, but it looks like the pump itself is not able to be separated from the rest...

Background: Last year, I had this small inflatable 10x6' pool that kept deflating every other day. It served its purpose well though and I learned a little about what it takes to maintain it and kept the water nice clean with granular chlorine throughout the summer and a simple tarp over it and...

Hi everyone, I have done quite about of searching around on the site here but cant quite seem to find exact answers for my questions so I figured I'd make a fresh post. I recently purchased a Hayward Proflow Matrix Dual-Speed pump and a Hayward 18in sand filter to replace the original Intex...

Any advice for finding intex out of stock parts? We have the 18 X 52 intex ultra XTR and found many holes this year so we ordered a replacement liner and its is here tomorrow. In the meantime a storm it our area and mangled our frame. OF course it did! We need three replacement leg joints part...

Hey all, I have an Intex saltwater system. We are going on year 4 with it and I am well aware it is near the end of its life. I’ve watched YouTube videos and read other forums on this issue but need additional advice. Noticed that the service light switched on and unit powered off after...

I just finished putting up my Intex 16’x48” Pool and it does not look sturdy to me? It’s leveled and the legs are on pavers and alls good but it just doesn’t look sturdy. I’m debating taking it down and returning it but I’m hoping someone on here has used it and can give me some peace of mind...

I just bought an intex SX2800 sand pump put it together and it’s leaking right where the pre filter meets the motor control. I have reassemble 3 times and it’s not getting any better or worse the O rings are in place and are in perfect condition. It seems to be missing an o ring maybe in the...

My Intex SF70110-2 sand filter (purchased 2 months ago) began leaking out of nowhere. I have taken the pre-filter housing apart, and lubed the o rings, but it still leaked. Took it apart again and wrapped the o rings in Teflon tape, added a bit more lube, and eased the pre-filter housing back on...

Hello everyone, I have an intex Krystal Clear sand filter and I am running into some issues when trying to backwash. ill be honest our pool got decently dirty this off season. When we got the pump up and running everything was working great. The problem is when I go to backwash it there is...

Greetings TFP community! This past spring my wife and I purchased the 12'x24'x52" Intex Ultra XTR pool. This came with the Intex Krystal Clear Saltwater system ECO15110-2 pump system which has the pump and SWG all-in-one and come with a sand filter. Set-up was easy, but I am having trouble...

Hello All, I have an 18’ x 52“ Intex ABG pool with their 1,600 gal/hr pump/sand filter system attached. We recently added a Hayward ABG skimmer to the pool and also installed the return that came with the skimmer. We’re amazed at how much more flow that created through that pump! The issue...

I’m trying to set up an intex 16’x32’ and I ran out of time before a party tomorrow. The pool is basically ready to fill with water but I didn’t get a chance to dig out an area for the supports to be flush with the ground. I think I need a builders level and I don’t have access to one tonight...

Hi everybody! I’m Jen and I live in Kansas City. Our vet recommended that we swim with our dogs, as a couple of them have joint issues, so we bought them an Intex, 18 x 48 above ground pool. As we speak, it’s filling, and, I don’t love it so far. It really was awful to try and get the liner...

I am replacing my 18’ Intex pool with a 16’ Intex pool in a perfectly level spot. I have 20 x 20’ of really heavy duty Astroturf I want to lay under the pool both for cushion and weed control at the edges. I have a round gorilla pool mat I am going to put on top of that as well. My question is...

Greetings to the TPF community. So here’s my dilemma. As with everyone setting up their agp ground prep is a pain in the you know what. I recently purchased a Bestway 18x9 oval Power Steel and the area in my yard I chose to place it seemed like the most level at the time. I need help in my next...

I truly enjoy and appreciate every single person on TFP. This has helped greatly with me being a new pool owner. I’ve come a long way since last year and also just completed my first SLAM. My water was a swamp and it did take a month, yes a month, to get it perfect.I was getting impatient and a...

Have had Intex, Bestway, etc. type AGP for a long time. I've always taken them down for the winter and stored in a shed and I can get almost a decade out of them with some hole patching here and there. How long would the pool last generally speaking if left outside during Midwest winters? Just...

Hi, everyone, first post here. I have an Intex 10'x30" round above ground pool on it's 3rd summer. The last 2 years I covered it with a big tarp but this year I bought the actual Intex cover made for the pool. It works much better as a cover, however there is an unintended side effect. It's...

I got my cousins pump and sand filter. And got it hooked up today and, and when i truned the pump on it had a problem. The pump was leaking between the strainer and the pump on the bottom of the joint. There are 2 orings that seal the strainer to the pump, which they look alright, and no...

Hi All, I was given a used Intex EasySet 15' ABG and accessories last weekend. Unfortunately, it had a rip in the inflatable ring. I was gonna toss it out, but decided to tape a bunch of pool noodles I've acquired over the years together and threaded them in there instead. This afternoon I...

Hi, I have an intex sand filter. When I try to bleed the air when the pump is on filter mode, the strainer basket starts to fill up with more air. Why?! When I bleed the air with the pump off, the air bleeds out just fine. I have checked o rings, unions, water line is good. I have not seen...

I have this little valve thing on both of my Plunger Valves for my Intex Pool, one of them is leaking. Anyone have an idea of what it is and how I stop it from doing so?

Thank you in advance for any support. WE have the 24 x 12 Intex Ultra XTR pool. It had been up for about two years and had to take it down this past fall. We are trying to reinstall but are having difficulty identifying the horizontal beams from one another. The "dot labels" with letter...

We have had our 24’ Intex pool for about a week. The sand filter/pump is stuck on “12” and won’t shut off, unlock, or do anything. Only way to shut it off is at the switch. Any suggestions? TIA

3rd year with the sand filter/salt chlorinator combo. I love it! I just started my pool a week ago for the third year. It seems to work fine while it's filtering for a few hours but then when it goes to auto filter the next day there is next to no flow. I decided to back wash it again and then...
