    Do you have any tips for setting up your Intex pool every year?
  • @shredtabulous
    Can you talk more about the pros and cons of sand? Most over videos recommend it
  • @xdajesusx
    Just put up my 18' x 48" pool last weekend. Big tip : if you live in a dusty area where you get lots of wind (like Southern Nevada). get the sand filter. The last two years I've had to clean the tiny cartridge filter it came with about 3 -4 times a week and it still didn't quite clean out all the dust that would get into the pool. Just got the sand filter upgrade last night, looking forward to easier maintenance.

    I’m looking for an answer on ‘since my aluminum legs are hollow ....would it be advisable to fill them halfway with Sand to sturdy the unit?
  • @tomg2314
    Do you guys happen to have any InTEXT pool liners laying around. Unbelievably hard to find anything over the last two months. Any recommendations?
  • We have an above ground pool with an Intex Saltwater System ECO6110, part number 11905 and 11904. We keep getting a low salt reading, salt isn't low. We can not find anyone in our area to purchase replacement Electrolytic Cell. Do you know of a supply company that we can order one from. Intex doesn't have any. We live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, as per Intex, we contacted several pool companies in our area and they don't have the part. Thanks, your videos are great!

    My back yard is concrete with a slope of 3 inches. What do you recommend me to do? I seen this pool leveling kits that are designed to go under the pool legs?
  • @anthony7557
    Can you use a Intex sand filter pump In ground pool
  • @Bubbles1415
    Is this the same for setting up a Coleman? And what chemicals do you add once the pool is full?
  • @ChitoWorld
    It if I have a 876 gallon pool with a 1000 pump with 786 flow. Wouldn’t I just have to run the pump for like 2 hours to cycle my water ?
  • @sxized2257
    is it ok to have use sand under the pool if it is only 2 inches thick
  • @jesusaguero2569
    I just bought a pool Intex 10'x30" without a FILTER pump. And my question is if I can use any brand pump to make it work? Like summer wave pump will work with Intex pool ?
  • @zinzingeva
    Do you really need to place a floor/ground cloth if you have a concrete surface.
  • @CarlosKTCosta
    I'm considering getting one of these for a house where I usually only go every two weeks and then a couple of weeks out of the year I'm there full time. My main concern is: can it last two weeks without the pump running and then I can start it friday night and have the pool OK to use that weekend?
  • Hello i have a question about pool pumps, so if there is a pool about 10 feel above the pump, how do I open the pump basket without floods? Like which valves do i need to turn?? Please let me know 😊
