I was able to patch the seam leak when I first got it up, wasn't draining the 3,000 gallons I had in it when a simple patch worked. I will say though, just like all cheap pools the filter that comes with it isn't good. I also wish the liner was a darker blue, some of the intex I see on here it...

The problem I've been having is with the sand. I bought sand from home depot, the quickrete brand. I kept finding sand at the...
