Yes, we have seen that setup. Our setup seems to work really well as is. We like the bigger hoses as opposed to an inch and a quarter.

@@alcarmona7959 AWESOME! Glad you have it up and running good.

It does move a little slow. It does a good job vacuuming. However, an outboard skimmer is highly recommended as it works so much faster and does a better job overall. It works fine on the wrinkles, we honestly eventually switched to this more expensive amzn.to/3zIc6Z5 and model of vacuum Because it's easier to set up, considering all you have to do is charge it and drop it in. I think we have had it in our pool over a hundred times it's still doing great.

The one that we purchased is now sold out. But we have a sixteen inch three thousand gallon per hour pump And it looks and it is similar to this model right here, which is the latest amzn.to/3zHgyr6 And we love this pump, it Kicks a** It is more than enough for 18 x 52

@@MoverandShaker do I need to drain my existing water if I get one of these chlorinators?

@jasondunbar3667 Absolutely not! Before you're chlorinator is ever boosting for the first time. You have to make sure your pool is balanced.It can take up to a week. If you live near a pool star, take some water up to them and let them tell you what you need to bring it up to par. It will be like a recipe. Follow that recipe. Whether it takes 2 days or 4 days before you ever start to boost. Once you get through your boost cycle, you can then be. Operating full time with your chlorinator and not really have to worry about much at all.

Hi! You can get one on Amazon here: amzn.to/3zOgDZY Another place woukd be your local pool store in your area.

4 to 6"

Mainly because we only have one inlet into the pump. We just chose to go to the skimmer.To go straight to the skimmer. Do you have another suggestion?

@@MoverandShaker You guys have inspired me to do lots of cool stuff with my 24 foot XTR but I found a guy who did his skimmer a little different. So I just recently set it up like this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ntCWoMyUx97bpJs.htmlsi=YmfVP0B_yt04QreJ Gives you the option to use inlets, skimmer or all 3/2

Hey! Quick answer. They both go in one single exterior electrical receptacle.

Low flow problems occur when the water flow through the chlorinator is less than the minimum flow rate required for proper operation. This can be caused by a variety of factors such as a closed valve, a dying pump, clogged filters, or a blocked pipe. Did you ever make sure that the chlorinator did not require a certain specific size sand pump Gph wise. If the problem wasn't there before or it's just started for the first time on start up then I would definitely think your pump may not be strong enough.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

You have a valve turned off?

20 ft x 20 ft

Excellent! No problem at all. Wow, 117! That is insane. Yes, get you one. It's worth it . It will last a long time. More than enough !

The strainer whole baskets Which are like a cover that has a grid? Comes with the pool, usually 2 in the box. Here is a link...amzn.to/3LqaMNn

We also used these or similiar on the outside of the pool to keep the hoses tight against the two white pipes pipes. amzn.to/4eL5Hws

Thank you. I will try this!

It still holding up very nicely. By the pump, there is a post and by the footer. There is some rust about 2 inches by 1 inch. We will apply paid wrap to that we aren't too worried at all.

@@MoverandShaker that's good news! Thank you for sharing!

@danielchamorro1288 You're welcome and I just want to add that. We are very meticulous that we wash off every bit of salt. After we get out of our pool, it takes about ten minutes, but it's worth it so that it can air dry salt free.

I don't usually have the chlorinater running when I'm adding chemicals. I don't usually add shock directly to the skimmer. I usually add it around the pool, trying to spread it out evenly and if needed use your brush to dissolve any leftover product.

@@MoverandShaker so it’s not shock it’s stabilizer cyanric acid which keeps sun from burning away chemicals..supposedly it’s low on my pool but I currently have boost mode on until tomorrow so thinking I shouldn’t add it until it’s off ?

@ceecee2861 I would finish the boost and then add cya

@@MoverandShaker ok thanks ! Still trying to get used to the whole salt process

@ceecee2861 yes once you get it straight, you should be home free. It Gets easier each year

It has to be submerged in the water for the suction to work properly and in motion.

@@MoverandShaker thanks, I wasn’t sure how positive pressure would create suction but it does. I read if I add cotton balls to the inside of the mesh it’ll catch fine particles better

@stevenweede7184 good idea! Thanks

I'm not sure what you could possibly mean. We used only the hoses that came with the skimmer and nothing else with no problems.

We have never had an issue Attaching our skimmer to the top metal support On the intex round pool. Are you referring to a new pool brand that you are using?;

Sorry to hear that. No we realized we shoukd have never cut our gasket in half as it was a butterfly gasket that was meant to go partially in and out but yes we sealed everything up on the outside only with kitchen and bath clear silicone and it held ever since.

@@MoverandShaker oh ok yea we didn’t cut the gasket at all , hopefully another coat of the silicone helps ..where do you have your water line ? Should it be halfway line of skimmer opening ? Noticing air getting in the tubes and we thought water level was ok

You may be referring to remnants of black rubber mulch. We used to have that around our pool. If you take a look at our very first pull video. We got rid of that and replaced it with rocks Weather is an inch or so that you can still see

On one of the support, poles closest to the pump near the black plastic footer, We have an area this year that we will be treating. It does not concern us too much.

18" w x 52" h

Yes, But in some cases, they are sold as combo units

There is no need for anything permanent. We've had those plugs in there, and they have not failed us one bit. They work perfectly

I would definitely shake it up, just to make sure the ink gets moving a little bit before you pop it in. I'm not sure why it would be unsafe. I do know that HP is starting to get very smart and you can no longer use expire cartridges. Because they realize so many people getting away with it. They've developed technology. Now To prevent it.

Very cool Thanks for the information

Hi Russ, We got it on Amazon. Here is the link. There is a weight limit, I think 230lbs. Doublecheck. amzn.to/4cw818r

We both do not understand how that could happen unless your water level was below the discharge area. We have never heard of this happening.

Yes and no it won't.

It's an inductor system. It moves water out and creates the suction by pushing water through the vacuum head.

Oh ok thanks for explaining.

Sounds great. Yeah, we just caulked because we were so paranoid and scaredy cats

​@@MoverandShakerTell me about it. Cutting a hole in your pool wall is scary! I got the part in and then rewatched the videos about 10 times over 2-3 days before I got out there and did it. Putting that 1st screw in took a couple of years off my life. Lol!

Make sure the second Strainer hole plug is inserted Into the suction side. Then screw the strainer hole basket right back on top of that. That will create more suction for the skimmer.

We are having tough times as well but with yellow fungus. Yes, the ph levels should be 7.2 and 7.8. I think you are on the right path, filling a five gallon bucket with the correct dosage, and yes, sometimes you have to repeat the process. I think your on the right track. I know it's frustrating, but you are almost there

Glad it was helpful!

amzn.to/4ciW3iE and we cannot send a picture but we will post a short this week.

After you add the salt, you have to run the pump for 24 hrs before you ever run boost. When we first did this video I think we quoted the incorrect time for our size pool For the boost cycle. It actually ended up being 32 hours for the boost. For the initial setup, for our 18 x 52. Once you get past all that you are home free. And you can swim during the boost.

​@@MoverandShakerOk so run the pump with the chlorinator on for 24hrs after adding salt correct ?and then after that i have to run boost for the specified time for my size pool then? Then its smooth sailing hopefully 👌🏻

@danruffing5057 No, the pump has to run for twenty four hours by itself with no chlorinator.

@@MoverandShaker ok then boost mode turns on the pump and chlorinator same time after the 24 hrs of just the pump got it

Non iodized

Look for salt that is 99.4% pure or better. Just make certain it doesn't have any rust inhibitor or additives like this one amzn.to/3Xl7mm0 Just dump your salt into the pool. Spread it around a bit with a brush so there aren't any large piles, and leave your pump running for 24 hours after adding salt. Make sure your chlorinator is turned off while you are adding salt and for the next 24 hours.​

@@MoverandShaker thanks so much♥️

@@MoverandShakerwhat brand of salt do you purchase ? Do you have a link ?
