We made cutouts for the pavers and when we started to fill, we noticed that the legs would slip a little, so as we were filling, we could move them (the pavers) and adjust them where they needed to go. This worked out well for us and we haven't had any problems. We also used the 1" foam and we...

I purchased mine from Amazon. Here is the link to it: http://www.amazon.com/Water-Tech-BROOM- ... 819&sr=8-1

I have an Aqua Broom and it works pretty decently. I am quite pleased with it. It runs on 5 D batteries (the really big ones). It sucks stuff up pretty darn well. We just finally got done setting up our Intex pool today, and before the kids were able to jump in with me, I used it to clean...

That is a gorgeous deck! I love it.

I think it may have been, but I am not sure off hand. The one I purchased didn't come with any hoses, so luckily between the SWG, the old pump we had, the sand filter pump, and the new pool, I had plenty of hoses available. However, the sand filter and/or the SWG came with these adapters that...

Well, Day Four is nearly done. I'm outside waiting for the pool to fill. The sand pump is hooked up to the SWG, and we're close to being able to turn on and backwash. We noticed a puddle of water and we're not completely sure if it is a leak or just from the plunger that we placed at the...

Awesome! Thanks Linen. I ended up placing the plunger from the pool and have it in the closed position for now. Tried putting the hose over the area and no water came out! WOO HOO! That's the temporary fix for now until we can run & get the rest of the PVC stuff.

I didn't want to add this to my thread going on, as I am quite befuddled at the moment & not sure if everyone is following it who may be able to answer. The pool is filling, but nowhere near halfway, so I figured I had some time. I purchased the Hydro Tools skimmer to put into my 18x48 Intex...

This is exactly what I started doing. I assembled the ladder (which I hate BTW and that will be the next thing that we are ordering this week) and then jumped in, we put some water in, and I went to town. It took me forever to do it, but thus far I am wrinkle free. As far as not putting down...

Alrighty! We are done with the day three work. Dear lord, this is hard work, especially when the sun is beating down on you, it's like 90 degrees out, and your wrist hurts! But we got along! I do have one question though.... While we were hastily trying to get up the pool, we forgot to put...

Well, Day Two ended up being not much of anything really. The boyfriend ended up coming home late and I wanted to go to the fundraiser for the Animal Spay Group that is near & dear to my heart, so needless to say, we raked some more sand, leveled again, and that was about it. Day Three: Late...

Oh this is wonderful! It is nice to see the process of actually putting down the foam boards, as that seems like it is going to be somewhat of a challenge for us (or at least we are thinking so).

Thanks guys! We had to do the "octagon" as we call it because our town required a fence around any pool with more than 24" of water in it. It would have cost a lot of money to fence in our yard to the appropriate height (our yard is massive), so we just went this route. So luckily the...

So finally, after having our pool sitting in the garage since Sunday, we finally get to begin the process of putting up the pool. Last year we had the same size pool, just the blue blob easy set version. We plan on setting this up & leaving it up through the winter, so we are making sure that...

Re: Putting up Intex 9 X 18 pool. Questions on pavers and fo I am terrible when it comes to DIY too...we haven't started even putting ours up yet because the boyfriend has been working like crazy so I have been sitting here waiting to do the pool. Here is the link to what we got (and the...
