well, ..... we kept going lower due to reading the precautions, upon my insistance. had we to do over now, back to that time, knowing what we know now, we would have built up the lesser amount of area tamping it firming. you inquired about pavers, most important is that the pavers the legs sit...

I was wondering the same about the "intex" as yours looks to be permanent? I love my Intex for my "not wanting permanent". Guessing, no options where you are?

no, I opted out of the insulation due to cost & fear of cracking with my first pool. no problems. pool I just replaced, I used a black foam like used in basketball court pads, only because it was free. I think mamaw's old feet will appreciate it. lol

Hi Ledvedder, Our yard was so much worse than yours at the start. Years ago, a previous owner had a storage shed placed upon ? inches of gravel, rather than concrete pad. Over the years, the gravel sunk into ground, etc. After we leveled, we realized there was no way to get avoid the rock...

Love the tips! Hope to see more. Thanks to all contributing.

Yes, I do leave my pool up as I figure more damage could be done taking down / putting up each year. I drain past the inlet/outlets, remove hoses etc. Then cover with an extremely thick cover made for a 24' pool, tying it off around outer middle of pool. (After I spray any rust spots). A local...

hi Jonas, I was intrigued with your posts. the end result explains all. Looks Great. I'm On my second intex ultraframe 16' round pool using salt system in St. Louis MO. I don't take down during our frigid winters, as supposed to. Merely cover, remove pumps, hoses, etc. Can't complain getting 5...

I was planning on only using 1 inlet, since suction fitting is flow rated 2160, same as my new pump. my pool being smaller & my 1600 gph pump worked super with previous same size pool with only the 1 inlet. Unless there is a reason not to use just 1 inlet. ??? LOL Snagging the great price to...

Since you're so nice. :) is this all I need for skimmer? Hayward SP1091LX Above Ground Dyna Skim Swimming Pool Skimmer 1 5 Complete | eBay Watched utubes of installing on intex pools. Looks very reasonable. At least with the skimmer, its already attached to wall, vs. the cutting of larger...

I'll update you when I get plugs, new pump & proceed. I hope this thread will catch attention of others with similar questions.

You're the Best! Since its may 09 & my pool is merely half full. Need to get it filled to warm up here in MO for grandchildren. I'm going to buy plugs, copy your valve adapters install, closing off 1. Now I will feel better about not having the hanging & splitting of the small clear hoses. I...

Thanks again, I do have those extra parts in my tub full of extras, lol. I never would have thought that the black tube would fit into adapter. Will try it after rain stops. sadly, I didn't get black plugs like my neighbor did with her coleman. will check with intex to get 1. that would be great...

Thank you so much for the great info, & pic but my new pool doesn't have the valve option to connect outside of pool to the suction outlet like yours. (I have pics, yet, every time I attempt to upload them here, nothing happens). My new pool has 2 'rubber tube' connectors going through the...

Hello all, I replaced my intex ultraframe pool 16' x 48" with a new one this week. I discovered during last step of install, that, in order to comply with Virginia Graeme Baker Act, my new pool has dual suction outlets, via 2 small clear 3/4" thin hoses are connected to a ("dangling" in mid...

Re: Hose Cracked or Cut, Filter Ran Dry Thanks Much! I feel so much better. Pool is almost full again, :)

Re: Hose Cracked or Cut, Filter Ran Dry Thank you. I'm relieved it wasn't intentional. (I found a cigarette butt & some chewing gum in yard also, hopefully just critter litter, lol).

Hello, I new here so please forgive me if I'm not posting in correct place. I wanted to show a picture of my pump hose. I woke up to a cut, or tear in it & a half empty pool with the Sand Filter Pump Running Dry. Can anyone tell me if the Crack in hose looks like a normal tear from wear? It...
