Silicone did the trick, no more leak! Happily skimming now!

Thanks LFrankow, I will give it a try and report back on the results.

I have a combination of one of the bottom drains converted to a return along with the skimmer and pump discharge routed to two of the factory holes in the sidewall. Cutting them out and converting the fittings can be found here: Useful Links for Fellow Intex Pool Owners ,hope this helps.

Yesterday I installed a Wide Mouth skimmer on my new Intex 16 X 32 Ultra Frame and made the mistake of centering the skimmer over a vertical seam. Realized what I had done as I was cutting out the skimmer opening. I brought the pool water level up and sure enough the skimmer is leaking. Now...

I installed the wide mouth in our 16' x 32' Intex and it works great. Trouble Free Pool

Used the 3/4" extruded foam sheets from Lowes around $15/sheet. For 16'x32' pool I needed 16 sheets. Worth the price!

I second what POPPA S said in that you won't regret installing the skimmer. I have had several AG pools and this is my first with the skimmer installed which does a great job at clearing debris. I also use a solar cover frequently and the skimming is reduced but once the cover is rolled up the...

I installed the Gorilla Pad over foam board underlayment, worked very well. http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/77778-New-Install-Intex-Ultra-Frame-32-x-16-x-52-quot-AG-Pool

Correct, using a 32' x 16' layout. Just keep in mind that the braces are 20" wide and you will need to determine where the center of your pad will be. If you are using a 16" pad as I did you would need to start the edge of the first board on the long side at 29" and the short side at 25".

From the corner to the edge of the first brace on the long side is 27", 45" between the braces measured at the centerline. From the corner to the edge of the first brace on the short side is 23", 42" between the braces measured at the centerline The support braces are 20" wide outside edge to...

Additional dimensions that may help with the layout preparing for installation... The insulation base is 32' x 16'. The support legs around the pool extend 7" out from the insulation pad. The centerline distance between the long side supports is 45" The centerline distance between the short...

I used 1.5" barb fitting and the modified adapter found on this site for the Intex pool connections

Picked it up at Lowes http://www.lowes.com/pd_14545-46086-202059_0__?productId=3125297

I used the 3/4" blue extruded polystyrene as did many others on TFP. The expanded type would likely be too soft.

Thanks for the comments CeeElGee and laceygirl. Over the past 10 years we started with the Intex blow up ring pool which lasted a season as the kiddos were young. Upgraded to a Intex 15 ft round pool which lasted about 3 yrs and would have made it longer but it was setup with only the supplied...

Pump return connections....all piping is 1-1/2" Skimmer piping on the opposite side of the pool from the returns Fountain in action.....another great idea I found here! 1" Piping for fountain Odds and ends left to do but after 2-1/2 long days of work (ground prep was done off and on...

Treated 2" x 16" x 16" (2x8s connected with clips) boards over the concrete pads. I had to dig out to move the blocks against the insulation. Initially I used the Intex dimensions but the legs were only a couple of inches on the blocks. During this dig I recalled reading on this site about...
