Need some advice

Thanks Watermom. This is the pump I am looking at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=A2JKSOUYOKW13

I believe that this is a combined pump and filter. Would that be the only filter I need??

That's the filter/pump that I have. You can use that as the filter and pump. It takes a type "B" filter. Like I said, you will have to clean that paper filter pretty regularly, but it will do the job just fine. It just requires a bit more work than the sand filter. I removed the filter cartridge and hooked into a sand filter and just use it as a pump. Some sand filters come with a pump built onto the unit, but I'm not sure what you have.

Thanks, Mwil3. Like I said in my post above, I am not too up on the Intex products. Thanks for chiming in here to help this poster.

The kits for testing water by Amato Industries isn't on amazon. Is their another seller that would be ok to buy from?

You can always buy it directly from Taylortechnologies.com, but at MSRP.

Not sure how you attach the sand filter to the Intex pump. Their web site isn't showing the sand filter.

Here's the big question: Do you have a level surface? If you don't you'll spend more time and effort on that than you will on the setting the pool up. It's the one thing Intex doesn't tell you. But don't blame them: Nobody else does.

I was probably the first person on PoolForum with an Intex Donut, 15x3, and we used it from 2000 to 2002. It was GREAT! and I learned so much that when I put in a nearly 20,000 gallon FantaSea, I knew pretty much exactly what to do.

Good luck!

sherron,
Give it a day or two. There have been quite a few times this season where the Amazon link didn't show Amato Industries as the seller for a day or two. I assume it was when they sold out but each time, within a day or so, they were once again listed as the seller. Hopefully that is what has happened this time as well and they will restock quickly.

Sherron,
I just checked and the Amazon links below now list Amato Industries as the seller again for the 2006 and the 2006C. I think they sell and out then get more. This is the 3rd or 4th time I have seen this happen but fortunately, it is usually pretty quick for them to be back again with more kits.
