Lol

Thank you! Glad they were helpful!

Yeah we were gonna try and limp our cartridge pump through the rest of the summer and buy a sand filter next year.. maybe.

The Intex sand filters aren't that bad in price compared to the other brands.

Oh no!!! That sucks! At least you figured it out! How did you get the sand out of the pool?

@@DunnDifferent vacuuming & net.. still not done😅🙃

You’ll need to use an adapter/splitter to get into that one hole or cut another hole. There’s a kit on Amazon to cut the extra hole.

Uhhh you don’t have the same pool as everyone else

You only need 2 holes. One for intake, one for outtake. He uses 2 for intake, one for his vacuum, one for skimmer. You don't need to.

Nope. Still the same one I just set up for summer in my last pool video.

From what I’ve read you can use one extensions cord but shouldn’t use more than one chained together. I’ve had mine on an extension cord all summer with no problems. Hope that answers your question. Good luck to you!

Thank you so much for the reply..

I’ve had to replace the large rubber oring on the lid, the one on the twist valve on the lid, and the ones on the side at the beginning of every season. The crack and break fast. If that doesn’t work you might need a new lid.

I haven’t seen those yet I’ll have to look into it. Thanks for the suggestion!

Cicadas. They’re noisy down here in the summer.

Google

They should just slip over the small piece of tube connected to the pool and then tighten down the hose clamps.

Interesting. I’m pretty sure that’s not what the filter manual or sand directions said but I could be wrong. If so that would be a pretty vital step I left out. I’ll check and report back.

You are correct. It does say to add some water before adding the second half of the sand. I’ll make sure and update that in an upcoming update video.

The sand for filter use is sorted by granular size. To big and it will clog up the system, to fine and it will pass through the system and into the pool. It’s pricey but you never have to change it. Just backwash it regularly and it will do its job for a decade or more.

@@DunnDifferent thank you so much. My kids are on vacation already and I want to get ready. I just received my sand filter and I was getting ready to setup, but first, I find your helpful videos. Thanks

Was this a salt or sand filter pump? If so, what chemicals do you use for maintained .?

@@mariamartinez-rr5ss thank you for finding and watching them! Any academy, Lowe’s, Home Depot or pool store should have the filter sand you need. I don’t use a salt water system so I have to use a floating chlorine dispenser that I fill once a week or whenever it runs out. You can buy those at those same stores as well.

@@DunnDifferent thank you.

The pump instructions calls for 75lbs but the Clorox sand I used says to cut that in half. In actuality I used right at 50lbs.

Unfortunately I don’t have any experience with pool heaters yet lol.

I think it was 35lbs a piece but can’t remember exactly.

It’s titled “Above Ground Pool Deluxe Wall Mount Automatic Skimmer” on Amazon. It’s 27.99. To be honest I don’t use it because the it never a stays in place. The mount for the frame always slips and then it ends up sucking air and starving the pump. The only one I would buy now is the one you have to cut a hole in the pool for and I don’t want to do that so I just hand skim everyday now.
