Really love all the ideas everyone. Thanks, it's been like the pep talk I've needed. :unsure:

Ha! I really like that idea

So... I bought a new AGP in January from The Pool Factory. I did not factor in a few measurements to one side and a couple other reasons and long story short I am trying to sell it. I list it on CL for almost half off since the restocking fee and shipping and having someone other than myself...

We are getting ready to dig to seat new pavers and dread it :(. We have a lot less than you to dig so I feel for you. The leveling is the hardest part and normal to be the biggest pain. After that is it should be clear skies. Good Luck.

Thank you Casey, how long have you had the Sharkline ? Nickllm, your pool looks great with the decking.

Thank you Nickllm...

Hello all, I would like some suggestions on Brands of AGP's. Please exclude INTEX brand as that is what I currently have. My INTEX is still ok after three years but would like to upgrade so that I have a better piece of mind that I don't come home one day to flooded yard. I just put up a new...

Year three, all is still good. Thinking about upgrading though..... I say this because I have read that the liners in these Intex pools can last several years but I really don't want to chance it since I just put in a new storage shed nearby and would hate for something to happen. I would like...

Year two and the legs have not bent. The flat part of the legs are sitting on the wood base, it is more the rounded part of the leg going upward that is off the side that you are seeing.

Sorry it took so long to respond. Yes, I had to dig a little into the limestone so that the footings were level with the insulation. The insulation is going to sink in about a 1/4 inch after pool is filled also. I found the 2650 to a good size. If you have the money to spend get the 2650...

Wow, I see this on the new ones on Amazon. They say "New dual suction outlet fittings improve water circulation resulting in better water hygiene and clarity." I hope you find your solution. Maybe you should call the 800 number and ask them about what is not working for you, maybe there is...

I learned a lot from everyone here and thought it important to give back with details of my setup. Here is one last photo, the temps are cool here today in TN. I hope to swim this weekend.

I bought a ladder that I was able to separate into two pieces and attached to deck and other into pool. - - - Updated - - - Top View with Intex solar cover and Intex skimmer that does a decent job.

After the pool was set up and the pumps attached, you can see how the footings were placed. In the image you can also see that I used the cheap blue tarp that came with the pool over the pink insulation and then placed another heavy duty tarp on top of that. So it is limestone, HD tarp, pink...

I first put down the heavy duty tarp. On top of that I put down the pink 3/4 inch foam insulation and taped them together with gorilla tape. In the first image you can see how I pieced them together and then in second image it shows how I put more tape on each seam. It is a good idea to place...
