intex

Hi all!! I’m trying to figure out how to hook up this waterfall fountain to my Intex pool. Pictures attached of current setup. I know I need some additional pvc or adapter or something I just can’t figure out what!

The first time we put this together and put water in it. One of the corner joints was ready to come out so we followed the advice I had read on this forum and drained it so that we could make sure the legs were good. It looked like the legs on the pump side were straight up and down and sinking...

New pool owner. Have been lurking a while. First post! We purchased an Intex 18x52” round XRT pool. We are having a hard time with our set up, mostly getting the bottom of the liner to lay in a circle & smooth bottom wrinkles out. My son noticed the stitching in the seam of top sleeve support...

We upgraded this year to an intex 16x32. We opted to have the ground leveled professionally since we historically have not been great at it. We started to fill the pool after they “leveled” and it was over 6 inches off. They can back and reveled….by building up sand. They moved the pool back...

We are installing a 16x36 saltwater Intex XTR Rectangle Pool. We bought a White Knight Heat Pump to go with it because it said that all you have to do it plug it in. However, we noticed in the directions that it needs bonded. If we are using it with the Intex XTR, do we need to bond it? Do we...

We bought this Intex Krystal Clear sand pump for our above ground pool. Decided to use the filter balls instead of sand since they seemed higher rated. Hooked everything up on Saturday and it ran and worked wonderfully! Currently battling algae in the pool so decided today to check the filter...

We are doing a late spring/early summer yard toy clean-out and have several bits and pieces for various pools for sale!! If you see anything you want or need, drop me a message with any questions and your zip code for shipping quotes! Reasonable Offers considered, especially for lot deals! We...

Our previous "upgrade" This year we opened to a clear pool on 5/08, yet again, LOVE TFP!! (picture attached, literally all I had done was remove the winter cover, which you can see in the background, you can see the pump & filter were not hooked up yet) But we happened across a great deal for...

Hi fellow Intex SWG owners! Anytime I try to set it up, I get the 93/Power Saving code OR it's turned on and generating, so the buttons don't do anything. Help!

I'm draining my Intex. We want to us that space for something else in the winter so we will not leave it up. I have a few questions: 1. How do I close the pump and SWG? 2. I want to give her a good scrub down. What dilution bleach water for cleaning the empty pool? 3. I want to store the...

So I’ve got a 16 foot prism frame intex pool. I’m still undecided on whether or not to leave it up and winterize or take it down for the winter. What is everyone’s experience in cold climate cities. I know that the manufacturer says to take down in cold climate but they also say taking down runs...

I just setup the intex 2500 pump for our outside stock tank pool. I used to use it with the two pieces dangling but now I have drilled the holes and installed things similar to how "hey wanderer" did their stock tank pool but I have a more high powered pump. When I used the pump before it worked...

I have an 9 x 18 ultra xtr pool with the intex 1200 gph pump and sand filter; I also have the intex CG2667 SWG (which can be used with a 700-3200 gph pump). I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my pool. (I am a first-timer, can you tell?) It is in our shaded, wooded backyard and I keep an intex solar cover on...

We have an intex 4500 galloon pool with 1200 gph sand filter and intex swg. Our pool is in the shade, basically always. We have a wooded backyard. I really think the shade affects or FC loss, which is very little. Lately it has been raining a LOT (midwest, MO). I have been running the filter...

Hi Guys! I'm new here :) We are in the very LONG process of building our inground pool so we bought a 16x48 vinyl intex pool for the summer. We put it up at the end of May and things have been great until last week. I will be honest, I have never owned any type of pool before so yes, I am a...

I’m thoroughly confused. I have an 16x32x52 Intex ultra frame with the sand filter/swg. Different advice all over the place. I want to know when I add salt, chemicals to balance, backwash, turning on the pump, turning on the swg. Some people say salt first, others say salt last after you’ve...

Hi, I have an 18 x 9 intex pool running a 1200 gph sand filter and intex swg. I filled the pool earlier this week for the first time. The salt finally dissolved yesterday and i turned on my SWG. My free chlorine got up to 4 yesterday so I turned it off. I'm trying to figure out if I should...

I have the new intex pool with the new t-joint design and i am having problems getting the last T-joint connected, I have tried everything i can think of but it i cannot get it to connect i can't seperate the 2 top rails far enough to get the t-joint into the last top rail....PLEASE...

Hello, Hoping someone can help me. This is the first time I've owned a pool. We have a 18' Intex pool that will be put up and taken down each year after summer and has sand under it which helped to level it. Our hose attached to the pump came off and water gushed out causing the sand directly...

We are FINALLY filling our pool. It is 18 x 9 intex ultra xtr with 1200 gph sand filter and intex swg. This is going to sound like the dumbest question - what order/timing do I do everything. I have read all the forum start-up guides, but i don't quite get the order. (We also have the TF pro...

We purchased an Intex 18'x48" pool and spent the last week leveling our yard, putting a 1" foam layer, and then pavers for the supports to sit on that are level with the foam. Yesterday we decided to start filling it. We only put around an inch of water in because I wanted to see how it was...

Hello All, I have recently bought an Intex Greywood inflatable hot tub and have been very thankful for this forum. Here there is consistent information with actual logical science behind the recommendations that is so difficult to find elsewhere. I decided to use Bromine for sanitizer since it...

Hi from Northern NJ. am about to get above the ground pool but don’t know anything yet. Just began research and tons of things to learn. Have 5year girl twins and I also love swimming! am considering 24 x12 or 18x 9 Intex above the ground pool. My plan is to assemble the pool for the...

I am setting up my 18 X 9 Intex pool on a 12 X 22 concrete slab. I want to put something under it for insulation and to protect from the concrete degrading the liner. I currently plan to put 1/2 inch extruded foam board. (Owens Corning FOAMULAR 1/2 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. R-3 Square Edge Rigid...

It took me and my husband about a week to set this pool up, and yesterday with about 2 feet of water left to fill, one of the pavers cracked. I checked back this morning and 6 more have cracked in half. They are sitting on top of the liner that came with the pool, a fake grass liner, a thick...

Hello, friends! I am newbie😊but I am willing to learn! I need to know steps what to do after filling up my pool with water. I have Intex XTR 18’ round pool. I’ve bought Aqua Trol above ground saltwater system and Hayward pump. I really lost and don’t know what to do first, what chemicals should...

Hey guys, new to the forum here and could sure use some help. I had my metal framed intex pool set up last year on a paver patio, and there was about a 2.5" difference in level. This year, I thought I would correct this. My thought was to use Owen Corning Foamular board (100 psi strength)...

Hi, Everyone! I am new to this forum. I can't find an answer to my question. Maybe you guys will be able to help me, please ? I've ordered Ultra XTR Intex above the ground pool 18 X 52 round. I need to buy filter , pump and Saltwater system. What’s is the best compatible for Intex pool? I know...

Hello all, I just purchased a new best way pool from costco 22x12 feet, and I bought a used Intex pump with clorine generator ECO2011-2. I read some places that the pump with pool is too small and that I should use a bigger one. Also I have sensitive skin, so i thought I could use a salt water...

Hi guys, new to the forum here! I have an Intex XTR above ground pool 18’x52”. I got tired of manually vacuuming my pool, and didn’t want to spend more on a vacuum (pressure or robot) than I did for the pool itself. I shopped around, looked at some reviews and different products, and decided to...
