    paper filter/sand filter with saltwater

    Thanks, i'm sure I will be happy with it. I used the original paper filter all last summer and didn't like it. I am in the process of trying to figure out which one(size) I need for my pool.

    Leveling with sand

    Oh, I never realized it wouldn't compact. I did however take the weight into consideration. I am looking at using 4x4 every 4' and planted about 24 inches down, with deadman braces every 3'. But it looks like I will have to find some clay and soil or something that will pack good enough. Thanks...

    paper filter/sand filter with saltwater

    I have an intex saltwater filtration system. I am using the paper filter setup that came with my 22' intex pool. Can I switch to a sand filter?

    Leveling with sand

    I have a 22ft intex ultra frame pool. My yard is 19" out of level. Instead of digging 50 tons of dirt I am building a box to level up with the high point of the yard. My question is, why cant you use sand to level? will it damage the pool or cause it to collapse? or sink? I posted same question...
