Check local regulations for specific directions regarding disposal of swimming pool water. Proper technique is important for water testing and treating the pool water. See your pool professional for chemical, test kits, and testing procedures. Be sure to read and follow the written instructions from the chemical manufacturer.
Installation typically involves connecting tubing from the pump to the pool, which draws water into the filter and an outflow that sends the water back into the pool. The inflow connection is typically on the wall near the bottom of the pool, while the outflow is usually on the wall near the surface of the pool water. If the filter is too large for the pool pump, the pump won’t produce enough pressure to push water through the filter adequately. With too small a filter, the pump can overload the filter, hurting its performance and even damaging it. Keep your above-ground pool clean and sparkling clear with one of these top filters.
Secondly, it’s less expensive for the same reason. Intex pool kits come with cartridge filtration systems. In fact, they work pretty great and are really convenient.
They’re inflatable and come in the smallest sizes. They’re also extremely affordable, easy to set up, and easy to take down. Have an amazing time with family and friends with a spacious pool. This top-of-the-line above ground pool combines high-quality with style offering ease of ownership so that your pool time is truly fun time. If we had to pick one spot to spend our time this summer, it would be atop this pretty silver and pastel-striped inflatable raft. With an air pillow, armrests and a cup holder, it can hold up to 220 pounds and, at a mere $10, is the stuff pool dreams are made of.
Use a pool shock with a decent amount of available chlorine, and run your filtration system after you shock your pool. The water might appear cloudy after you shock, but will clear as it’s filtered. How often you shock depends on how often you use your pool, and the climate you’re living in. We recommend shocking Intex pools every week, especially if you’re having a heat wave or heavy rains. Heat and excess water can knock your chlorine levels to sub-par levels pretty quickly. To test the pool’s resilience, we let a line of rambunctious kids hop in and out and back in again, day after day.
This might require some balancing, but mainly, you’re watching for the chlorine levels to return to under 3.0 ppm. This is a simple process that just requires following the directions on the product container. You’ll typically have to prep the product by mixing it with some water in a 5-gallon bucket if it’s a granular shock. But other products can be poured right into the water.
These pools have a fill line that is approximately 80% of its total capacity. There are a lot of parts involved in putting these pools together. It can be a little overwhelming when you first see them all, so make sure you have a buddy or two there to help. The first thing to do is visit the Intex website and watch the instructional video for your pool.
I don’t think I would still have it if I had to drain, store and fill it every year. Many people simply fill their Intex pools with a water hose attached to the city water line. Other options include water-supply companies, which will fill the pool up in a fraction of the time using a truck with a pump. If access intex frame pool to well water is available, this can be a cost-saving option. Some city water and sewer lines charge a “dumping fee” for excessive amounts of water used, but waive the fee for water used in swimming pools. It is a good idea to contact the local water utility to ask about a “dumping fee” waiver, if applicable.
