Intex 3-Way Chlorine Test Strips 59635E Description
Essential for the pool owner who wants an easy, yet sure way to measure the condition of their pool water. These strips provide a quick read on three key ingredients to pool water quality: free chlorine level, pH level, and total alkalinity.
My pool has a milky color, do I need to change the water or is it treatable?
Water condition varies from country to country, states, region, and within specific zones and areas. In some regions the water could be "hard water", this is because the water contains excessive minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, thus causing the water to adopt a milky color. Check your local pool supply store for advice on water treatment and balance.
What is the best way to remove algae stains from the pool liner?
Empty the pool, use a soft brush, mild detergent and water to remove algae stains from the pool liner. Thoroughly rinse and dry before refilling or storage.
Does the color of the printing on the inside of the pool wall fade away with time and does it pose any health risk issue?
Excessive use of pool chemicals can cause the color of the inside wall printing to fade away faster, like a heavy chlorinated public swimming pool will cause a bathing suit color to fade
Can grass grow through the ground cloth and / or pool liner?
Yes, in some cases certain types of hardy grass such as Bermuda or St. Augustine can grow through the liner. Before setting up your pool, it is recommended that you clear the area of these types of hardy grasses. INTEX will not be held responsible for grasses that may grow through the ground cloth and / or pool liner, as this is not a manufacturing defect. A ground cloth or tarp may be helpful in preventing this from occurring.
Other than Intex Repair Kits (Item# 59632 or part#10114) what kind of glue do you recommend for Intex pools?
A PVC or silicon based glue for repairing camping mats, tents, shoes, inflatable boats, etc are suitable for INTEX pools.
