foam

My boss and I inherited the community pool from a long, long life of negligence. As in filter sand has never been swapped out and the filter never cleaned.... the bottom of the pool is crumbling apart, the chemicals were not kept consistent and had perpetually high chlorimines and dissolved...

Hello All, I hope everyone is enjoying their summer! :cool: My wife is always sitting on the edge of our pool and uses a towel (to protect her swimsuit) to sit on. I was wondering if anyone knows of a mat/seat that would also provide some cushion. I have found a few online but also read they...

We purchased an Intex 18'x48" pool and spent the last week leveling our yard, putting a 1" foam layer, and then pavers for the supports to sit on that are level with the foam. Yesterday we decided to start filling it. We only put around an inch of water in because I wanted to see how it was...

Hi all, I am going to be digging and leveling out the foundation this weekend for our new Intex 18' x 48" above ground pool. 1. I see that Menards has lots of different foam board insulation thicknesses available, what is the preferred thickness I should buy? 3/4", 1", 2", 4"? 2. Does the...

I am installing a 13' x 42" Bestway above-ground pool. I have leveled pavers (for the legs) and ground. I will be using 2" Owens Corning XPS Foamular 250 2 inches from Home Depot under the pool ($30/board). I am planning to use the same foam boards when I upgrade to a larger pool size in a...

Hello - we are new pool owners. 27’ round above ground. Well, we are about to install it. I have read thru a lot of posts on here. We had a crusher dust pad laid yesterday. We are going with foam bottom. What thickness and what type of seam tape is best to use? Any tips for cutting the foam and...

Hi. Im preparing the base for an intex prism frame 15 ft x 48 inch pool. I have a layer of limestone fines which has some rocks in it that are bigger than expected. I will do my best to remove them. I plan to run a plate compactor over this and will have the legs on pavers. I am hoping to avoid...

Hey All - Getting the ground ready to set up our 14x48 Bestway Camo pool again. I had to order some pins from BestWay, but getting the rest of it prepared. Last year I used 1 inch Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) board under the liner, taped together with Gorilla Tape. It worked well, but I had 2...

I have a 15' x 30' above ground pool. The liner was removed several years ago and it went from being an above ground pool to an above ground planter. It filled with grass, weeds and tree saplings. I'm in the process of cleaning it out in preparation for a new liner. I have pulled all the...

I cant seem to rid my pool of this bubbly, foamy mess. I have not yet used my pool this year. I've shocked it a number of times. I've changed out the output hosses in case air was getting in there. I changed the sand in the sand filter. Could the foam be salt? If so, its never happened...

Hi folks I am new to the forums, please forgive me if this should be obvious. I am the lucky owner of a 15' x 48" intex prism pool. I've been scouring the forums to learn what kind of ground work prep I need before I set up the pool. Based on what I have read, this is roughly what I plan on...

Hey everyone! At the end of last year I had other things going on and let the pool get away from me a little bit, then made the horrible decision to just let it sit and fester over the long winter.. fast forward to two weeks ago, I had this nasty green pool you couldn't see half an inch into...

OMG, this is a problem.... Here's what happened.... Last week went to pressure wash my pool lanai cage screens... pressure wash broken so I go this stuff "30 second outdoor cleaner concentrate" at home depot. Says OK around pools. Still not to try and get in. Anyway, blanket was covering pool...

Hi from yet another pool gal with issues! White foam on surface, with some yellow (pollen?) tfc is almost zero. Other levels appear ok, thought hardness is a little low (topping off water levels from our tap, which uses a softener) what do I do?? Thanks for any help!

I have a question from a DIY standpoint. My 22’ intex died from corrosion in the legs. Grandma decided to buy the kids a new 24’ steel sided 8” rail AGP. My ground is already prepped from earth standpoint from the previous pool, I just had to fix up the extra 2ft. Here’s the question, what...
