What to do if my Intex Swimming Pool filter doesn’t clean the pool?
- B
  Bryan DeanSep 10, 2025
  If the filter of your Intex Swimming Pool doesn’t clean the pool, adjust the chlorine and pH levels. Ensure there is filter sand in the tank. Set the valve to the “FILTER” position. Operate the filter for longer periods if the pool is excessively dirty. Use an Intex pool vacuum to clean the bottom of the pool if there's dirt or sand. Clean the basket if it is restricting the water flow.

What to do if my Intex Swimming Pool water is colored?
- F
  Felicia MartinAug 22, 2025
  Colored water in your Intex Swimming Pool is likely caused by copper, iron, or manganese in the water being oxidized by the chlorine. Adjust the pH to the recommended level, run the filter until the water clears, and replace the filter cartridge frequently.

Why does my Intex Ultra XTR have algae?
- C
  Carrie AllisonAug 27, 2025
  Algae growth in your Intex Swimming Pool may be due to incorrect chlorine and pH levels. To fix this, super chlorinate with shock treatment and adjust the pH to the level recommended by your pool store. Vacuum the pool bottom and maintain the correct chlorine level.

  Greg ChurchAug 29, 2025
  Floating matter in your Intex Swimming Pool could be due to hard water caused by a high pH level, low chlorine content, or foreign matter in the water. Correct the pH level (check with your pool dealer for advice), ensure the chlorine level is correct, and clean or replace the filter cartridge.

Why is sand flowing back into my Intex Ultra XTR Swimming Pool?
- J
  Johnny Mcgrath IISep 12, 2025
  If sand is flowing back into your Intex Swimming Pool, use only No. 20 silica sand with a particle size range of 0.45 to 0.85 mm and a Uniformity Coefficient less than 1.75. If the sand bed is calcified, change the sand.

Why is the water flow very slow in my Intex Swimming Pool filter?
- I
  idavisSep 8, 2025
  If the Intex Swimming Pool filter doesn’t pump water or the water flow is very slow, check for clogged inlets or discharge and clear any obstructions in the intake hose. Also, inspect the intake line for air leaks by tightening hose nuts and checking for damage, and ensure the pool water level is adequate. Clean the pre-filtering basket more often if the pool is excessively dirty. Backwash the filter if the sand media is clogged with dirt. Ensure the nozzle is at the upper position of the pool inlet and the strainer at the lower position of the pool outlet. Remove about 1” of sand if there's crusting or caking on the filtering sand surface. Remove any pool vacuuming device attached to the system line. Make sure the inlet threaded air connector is connected to the pool inlet upper hole.

What to do if air jet valve is leaking in my Intex Swimming Pool?
- C
  Christine AyalaSep 5, 2025
  If the air jet valve in your Intex Swimming Pool is leaking, ensure the valve is tight and facing up. If it continues, turn the pump ON for a few seconds, then turn it OFF, repeat 3 times. If the problem persists, remove the air jet valve, flush out any dirt with water, and replace the valve. If the valve is broken, replace it with a new one.
