I have been hanging around for almost a year now and over the last three years have moved from an 8' Intex pool with a blow up ring to a 12' Intex pool with metal supports which we used for two years. This year the grandchildren are 8 and 5 1/2 and I wanted a bigger pool. Found one on...

Thought I would give this a spin here first. Did not see a "How To Post Pictures" thread, but I'm guessing it's like other forums. ;) Getting ready to open the pool!! It worked, after three attempts. Lets try direct insertion Well, that looks a heck of a lot different!! I'll have to...

Hoping to arrange, cut and lay down rigid foam insulation boards for our 18' round pool. I am just wondering where people started? In the center of the pool and work out or start at one side and go from there? I know there will be some pieces cut to size and wondering if people tried to...

I am working on clearing the sod and leveling the ground (which is back breaking work!) for setting up the pool. I am planning to use rigid foam insulation along with a foam cove and wall foam under the liner. I am wondering if putting down a sheet of 6 mil plastic first and then the rigid...

Greetings, Working on setting up the pool and have flexible hoses currently but would like to switch to rigid pipe. The pool is not that big but wondering if I should use 1 1/2 or 2 inch sized pipe. I looked through the hydraulics 101 post but I may be too dense to decipher the information...

So I'm thinking that when I set up my pool for the first time that I want to put down some protection for the bottom and either Extruded polystyrene (XPS) rigid foam or Expanded polystyrene (EPS) for insulation, smooth bottom and comfort. Once the ground is level and ready to go, I am...

I purchased a used 18' x 48" steel wall pool. When taking it down I discovered that many of the bottom plates and bottom rails were pretty rusted. I looked around and found replacement parts and ordered all new. They are galvanized metal (which I assume the original ones were too,) and I am...

Greetings pool people, I joined last year after buying a used pool and am planning to set it up in a month or so. I know I will need to replace the liner, so looking for advise and suggestions. The used pool is an 18' round 48" deep steel walled pool and had an overlap liner. Looking for...

Greetings, :wave: I have been reading the forum for a little while now and soon will be ready to start with some questions so, I thought I would introduce myself. Bought an 8' Intex ring pool from Walmart in the summer of 2011 for our grand kids, then 5 and 3. They had great fun and so...
