Newbie first test results. Some questions?

An owner after my own heart! I had an Intex 15'x3' and bought Ben's PS-232 for it! The 2006c is functionally the same kit.

With the little Intex filter cart and tiny filter, it's very hard to get the water that polished look. You can't add DE, there's probably no place for skimmer socks and your only options I see are a SlimeBag on the return or a better filter.

You know your numbers! You don't need MY advice on them.

Thanks Carl. What is a slimeBag? I have seen it in several posts, but not quite sure what it does.

Sells you chemicals you don't need!!!!!


No, it's a product that you attach to the return and it super-filters the water. I believe it's very similar to the Dolphin or Aquabot cleaning bags.

You'll have to GOOGLE it to find it--add swimming pools to your search if you don't want some unrelated and unpleasant (or at least indecent) reponses.

Too funny

I did a google search and found a few sites. Will this work with the intex pool system? Could not quite see how it connects, but this is something I would be interested in.

I can't answer that--you now know more about it than I do!

I'm not so good at giving advice as I usually need advice, but I have the same size pool Intex metal frame. I read on here to put a stocking held in place with a rubber band inside the skimmer. i tried that but it kept floating up, so I put over the outside of the basket that goes in the skimmer. It works. Picks up fine stuff. Have to clean mine at least once a day tho. I use a ladies knee high stocking and if on the outside of basket you don't need a rubber band.

Thanks. I tried that quickly last night and could not get suction. I think it may have been another issue though. I just drained 1/2 my pool and am now going back with in with the water. Trying to get my CYA down a little and some other things.
