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.

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 ?

Quite the contrary. We have a huge deck and I just painted two coats by myself. In addition I painted the left side of the house he painted the right side of of the house. In fact, in our house I do the plumbing electrical and he cooks.

I was joking. It looks good

What is free pump? Is it recirculating or filtering? I even googled free pump and nothing comes up to explain if you could clarify please.

@shadylite Well, we have alway done filter, but we've also heard you can use recirculate. Free pump is the time setting you want for when you run the chlorinator. I apologize.

Filter

On the inside of the pool, two strainer baskets that came with the pool package And two of these. amzn.to/3ViyhfK. Is all you need. You don't have to have the strainer baskets but it is a good cover If you think you may have someone that wants to pull on them, or if you just want them to look nicer by having a cover over them. They stay put and have been working for a long, long time

@@MoverandShaker dumb question, but you put the plugs in on the inside, and then the strainer screwed back on, ya?

No, not at all. The liner has been fine and we never had any regrets since day 1. We only wish we had done it sooner. So many reasons, like less work for you, and more thorough constant cleaning 10x better than the Intex Skimmer.

If your pool was balanced properly prior to adding the salt and you have added the correct amount of salt and ran your pump for twenty four hours and your chlorinator it's still not making chlorine, then there could be a potential problem with your chlorinator. Were you able to figure this out?

We really only do that in a situation where if it rains a lot or we have to backwash and there would be a distinct reason for salt to be depleted otherwise we don't really check it on a regular basis.

Oh thanks! Sometimes we look back at that video. And can't believe we did All of it. And since then, it's filled with all rocks now ....so crazy

How do you add your salt. You're pump runs on fp for twenty four hours. Then you need to use boost for whatever the table says for your pool Size for us it's 32 hrs After that, you are home free and really. Only have to run it a few hours a day with the pump.

@@MoverandShaker I added it walking around the pool . Turned on pump on FP for 24 hours then ran the boost mode for another 24 hours . Chlorine came back zero since

Yes, I know we have three of them. One was free that came with the waterfall, but we wanted 2 more. They are a popular item

At the beginning of each season, you have to buy a couple more bags of salt. Then it's good to get a sample of your water. So you can take it to the pool store at that time. They might try to give you a product or 2 as a recommendation, and they will give you a print out of what your pool needs. Once you follow the step by step instructions, you're pretty much set for the rest of the season. And it is so nice. There was one season where we had excessive rain, so we had to buy another bag of salt.

Well, we haven't been in our pool yet. Normally we would have already been in the pool by 1 June. There are various solar heaters out on the market that only raise the temperature between seven and ten degrees. They all have fifty fifty reviews. You just have to be patient and wait. They do make shirts usually in. These sporting goods stores that are for cold water and winds And they make them for all sizes. That might help you for the first week. Or so

Yes, very little, it protects your pool water from chlorine depletion from the sun, but we only have to usually add it on start up for each season to get the pool balanced in order to start the chlorinator after that you're good.

You also want to add it very very slowly only way to bring it back down is water replacement
