    Hard soil

    Thats what i was thinking. I didn't want to because it would make the pool settle but I guess I will have to let the dirt settle before installing the pool

    Hard soil

    I am having trouble leveling my soil. I have all the sod remove but cannot get a shovel into my dirt. I tried wetting it but it still doesnt help. Anyone have any ideas. Don't really have much cash to spend unfortunantly.

    Ground cover

    Well my 24' didnt come with a ground cover but my old one had it and It wasnt very thick. It worked fine that is why I was thinking the 4 mil plastic sheeting.

    Ground cover

    Would 4 mil plastic sheeting work under an intex pool as ground cover. It is cheaper then getting a tarp big enough for my 24' intex?

I...

    Algae re-entering pool while vaccuming

    I checked out the spider gasket and it looks fine no sign of any knicks or teas and it was all lined up in its grooves. Is there a possibility of the sand not being right. I bought pool filter sand from a pool store but that doesn't always mean they sold me the right thing. I told them I was...

    I can but it isn't backward the hoses go from the intake to the pump then from the pump to the in port on the filter then from the out on the filtwr to the in on the SWG then to the pool return. Im thinking the algae particles just become too small when vacuumed up and the sand can't filter it
