User questions & answers

Question:	is the 21 in filter use and 1.5 pump enough for a 28' round pool
Answer:	I purchased this filter and pump for our in ground hot tub. It moves a lot of water, but at times is difficult to get primed. It is not a self-priming pump. For an above ground pool that wouldn't be an issue. We've had it installed for almost two years and it's still working well. My pool pump is 2HP but my pool is much bigger than 28' dia.This pump would probably work fine for you pool. Again, not self priming though.
Question:	Looking for kreepy krawler recommendations
Answer:	I use a Hayward Aqua-bug. It is adequate but not perfect. Had a 'Barracuda' in the past that worked much better.
Question:	I have the intex 22 X 52 pool. Will this filter/pump work with my pool, and is it easy to set up with my pool? Thanks
Answer:	Yes, this filter should work with your Intex pool. However, you will not be able to connect the standard 1-1/2" hoses (furnished with the Hayward pump / filter combo) to the pool itself since the Intex suction / discharge fittings (on the pool) are proprietary connections that are made for Intex hoses (i.e. 1-1/2" female slip nuts with O-ring seals). Note that the furnished 1-1/2" Hayward hoses are made to fit 1-1/2" hose (barb) fittings that are secured with a conventional hose clamp. In this regard, my solution was to purchase a Hayward SP1091LX Dyna-Skim Above-Ground Pool Skimmer and Accessory Kit (available from Amazon.com for $31.59). This kit required some minor cutting of the pool liner wall (with a sharp utility knife) to accommodate the skimmer (i.e. suction line) whereas the new discharge fitting (also included with the kit) fit the existing opening (hole) in the pool ... installation time took about an hour. An alternative to this skimmer / discharge retrofit would be to purchase adapters that will provide standard 1-1/2" hose barb connections on the Intex pool for the Hayward hoses. You'll also need 200 lb (4 - 50 lb bags) of pool filter sand for the 21" Hayward filter available from your local home improvement store (about $5.00 / bag). Hope this helps.
Question:	Does it come with sand
Answer:	No, it doesn't. Info included with filter on what type of sand and the proper amount

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used for a koi pond
Answer:	I wouldn't. I would be afraid the pressure would blow the fish out of the water
Question:	Want to get the saltwater system to go with it...how does it connect and is it super expensive... did not realize that wasn’t what I was getting
Answer:	For the most part Intex is really plug and play if you have a large pool it will be easier because the salt water system is actually made for larger pools. You might look for “easy way to connect summer waves pool to Intex salt water system and sand filter. “ on U tube. Lots of videos to help and you can see what parts you may or may not have on hand hope that helps
Question:	Does this pump/filter come with a place to put chlorine tablets? More specifically the 3in tablets
Answer:	I would say no, this pump has a filter basket but it’s mainly used to prevent particles getting into the pump “basically a can can”. You have two options; 1- Purchase a Floating Chlorine Dispenser https://www.amazon.com/Swimline-Capacity-Floating-Chlorine-Dispenser/dp/B000SQ32MY 2 - Purchase a Chlorinator, Hayward CL220 or CL200 depending on your pool setup connections. CL220 - https://www.amazon.com/Hayward-CL220-Off-line-Automatic-Chemical/dp/B000NPGHFE/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=hayward+cl200&qid=1560626242&s=gateway&sprefix=hayward+cl200&sr=8-4 CL200 - https://www.amazon.com/Hayward-CL200-Automatic-Chemical-Feeder/dp/B00269EHNE/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=hayward+cl200&qid=1560626204&s=gateway&sprefix=hayward+cl200&sr=8-3 I have the CL200 connect to my sand pump and it’s the best.
Question:	Is this a system or just pump
Answer:	It is a complete system to filter your Intex above ground pool. It does not include filter media (sand). Depending on your brand of pool, you may need additional fittings.
Question:	The description states aluminum tube set, what type of metal is used for the base, casters, screws, bolts and reel? I have a saltwater pool
Answer:	I have a saltwater pool also. The reel is aluminum. The hardware is steel with chrome plating, the legs are steel with plated chrome plating and rubber and the wheels are steel with painted hubs. So far after owning this 4 years I believe, it’s performed and lasted well. I have had trouble with the Velcro straps though and the plastic grips to attach the solar cover to the Velcro strips on the reel. Very cheesy way to mount.
Question:	Is this reel adjustable, meaning if I buy a 20 foot, can the pole be 16 feet, without the extra length
Answer:	Yes. When you put it together there is two sections that slide, one inside the other. Like a curtain rod, you adjust the length you need. So, it supports up to 21 foot in length, you only need 16 foot, you initially adjust it to your need. If you look closely at the photo, you'll see the difference in circumference at the half way mark.
Question:	Will a 16 mil cover 40 feet long fit and wind up all of the way on this reel? Will it sag In the middle
Answer:	I have a 16 mil 36 ft long on this reel with no sag.
Question:	Will the clips to attach to the cover puncture it? Also, I received a baggie with 2 long straps and 2 long cup hooks. What is that
Answer:	yes the clips do puncture the cover but thats how they attach to the cover, the straps then attach to the reel with a sticky substance and velcro pieces, but the sticky doesnt last long, my husband actually drilled the straps onto the real with screws and that keeps the straps in perfectly. i dont know what hooks your reffering to though..
Question:	found this under "In the Swim Pool Supplies" and it shows the bubbled blue cover. I add to wish list, and grey version shown. Which is it
Answer:	The cover we received was blue and 12mil, but I believe that there is a cover that's silver/grey in color,supposedly more heat reflective into the water. (Also more expensive.)
Question:	Do you cut to just hit pool edge or leave a bit to fold up edge
Answer:	You can cut to have an over lap up the sides of the pool it helps to keep the leaves out of the pool, if you have a reel to roll it up for storage, it must be the same width of your reel poles.
Question:	cuanto vale la de 20 x
Answer:	reasonable at this place.
Question:	If I need a different size how would the return work
Answer:	Good luck, seven year warranty, didnt last a year, they wouldnt honor the warranty

In The Swim Premium Pool Solar Blanket Cover

In The Swim Premium Pool Solar Blanket Cover 12 Mil is our most popular solar cover that we carry. Using a pool solar cover has many advantages that will help save you time and money. Our solar blanket covers are made from a light-weight, yet durable polyethylene material. They are easy to install by cutting the cover to the shape of your pool with scissors if it is irregularly shaped.

In The Swim Premium Pool Solar Blanket Cover 12 Mil will help heat your water temperature up to 8-10 degrees in approximately 5-7 days of consistent sunlight. Using a pool solar blanket cover prevents the water from losing heat which will help let you enjoy your swim season even longer. It reduces water evaporation, chemical loss, and the amount of debris that can get in the water.

Fitting Your Blanket

To figure out what size solar cover you are looking for, measure the longest length and width of the pool to ensure you get complete coverage. Once you roll the cover out on top of the water, let it sit for about a day to adjust so it will lay completely flat. Once it has adjusted, cut the blanket to fit your pool if it is irregularly shaped. To make using a solar blanket cover even easier, use a solar cover blanket reel. This will help make the process of taking the cover on and off the pool more convenient.

Extend the Season

Solar blanket covers are a great way to help you enjoy your pool or spa even when the weather is a little cooler outside. It will help give you an extra month or two on either end of your normal swim season. This will allow you to open your pool earlier and close it later. Our solar blanket covers offer up to 80% in thermal efficiency which provides excellent heating and water retention. One of the best times to use the solar cover is at night to help keep the water from evaporating. It also keeps the temperature from dropping too low.

Caring for Your Cover

When using a solar blanket cover, you want take care and use it properly to help extend the life of your cover. If you add any chemicals to the water, wait at least 24 hours before you put the cover back on the pool. This prevents the cover from chemical damage that can shorten the life of your cover. It can result in the bubbles deteriorating when you put the cover back on too soon after treatment. When you are going to not use your solar cover blanket for a long period of time, make sure you clean it before storing.
