    16' x 48" DIY Project 24K Warning

    I used the GAME SolarPRO XD1. I purchased them from Amazon. Below is the link. I can't really comment on how well the warm the pool because I haven't been home. My wife seems to love them. I can tell you we haven't had any problems with them leaking or other issues. We are running them with the...

    Here are the photos of my completed fountain. Sorry but I do not have any pictures of the build process. I put the ball valve in so I can turn it off and on. It works like a charm. I can turn the ball valve to the fountain all the way open and then slowly close the Intex valve to direct more...

    Freezing Pool

    For those of us that decide to keep their above gound pool up during the winter months. How does freezing water affect the liner/pool. Does the exspansion stretch the liner or hurt the poles? I'm deployed to Kuwait and it really is too much for my wife to take it down by herself. She knows...

    We got a new ladder for the pool. The intex ladder served it's purpose initially. It has started to rust and just really isn't that strudy. My wife sure is doing a great job with the upkeep on the pool. She said that she vaccume it twice a week. I thinks it's time to get her an autovac. :)

    Thank you very much. My wife is actually in the Army too. Its kind of funny actually, I outrank her in the Army but she is always the commander at home :). The green thing is just some metal landscaping edgers I picked up a Home Depot. They come with stakes you can drive in the ground. They are...

    Overwhelmed with leveling information

    I concur. Do not try to "add" anything to the low side. It may appear compact but the first time you get a little rain it will soften up and that side will start to sink. Just take the high side down the 2.5 inches. Also forget about the sand. It's useful when you have a hard/metal sided pull...

    Custom PVC Pipe Adapter for Intex Pools

    I just did this yesterday. I went to my local hardware store and bought some rubber gasket material. I used the electric conduit adapter everyone else has been using. I traced an outline of it onto the rubber material and then cut it out very slowly trying to make the most round edge I could. I...

    Good point Richard. I city requires a fence with locks. Also if the 4th wall is your house that door must have an alarm on it!

    Help please....new pool going up....

    Hello! I am in the same boat though my wall is only about a foot high. I think I will just build a little retaining wall so I don't get a bunch of erosion. I'm afraid rock from the dirt might wash against the liner and put holes in it!
