    New Radiant Metric pool in progress

    A gorilla pad on top of the insulation: Gorilla pad and foam cove molding taped down: Installing the liner: We had to stand on pieces of insulation while waiting for the water to arrive because the liner was getting so hot in the sun ! We ended up using the hose to put a little water...

    New Radiant Metric pool in progress

    OK, I finally uploaded some more pictures. I left off with the walls up. Here are a couple shots of the 2" thick foam boards after being cut to fit: Then we pulled them out until we were ready to move on (so that any rain wouldn't collect and then erode between the gaps): Back in a...

    New Radiant Metric pool in progress

    Hi Mainedad, Haven't been on the board in a year ! So we had an electrician do the bonding for us (had him do a little other work at the same time). As a result, I can't remember what, exactly, he did. I did get a one page pdf from Radiant with bonding instructions ... if you want to contact...

    New Radiant Metric pool in progress

    I'll have to get the pictures online ... Friday, I got the foam cut and did a little more plumbing. Saturday, my friend came over early so we could finish up before the water was scheduled to arrive (between 4 & 6). We had to spread some more dead sand around to flatten the base a bit more...

    New Radiant Metric pool in progress

    Tomorrow I'm taking a vaca day & will spend the morning cutting the foam to fit and finishing up the plumbing. Saturday morning, my friend comes back - we'll tape down the foam, put the liner in and wait for the water to arrive :)

    AGP Newbie Cover & Critter Questions

    So the article says you'll either find a dead raccoon or raccoon poop in the pool (check your skimmer, I guess) and then there are steps you can take to clean it. It also says they do their thing in shallow areas, like steps. I can't really see a raccoon hanging off the edge of an AGP and...

    Ground Protection - overkill or not?

    Gotcha - I totally missed the part about it being an Intex pool ! So now I understand about the legs. I guess that means you can disregard just about everything I wrote :) Good luck with the pool !

    Ground Protection - overkill or not?

    I haven't seen how, exactly, a normal pool gets installed, having only looked up close at the two different panel pools I've owned. So I'm not following the part about cutting holes in the foam ... don't the pool walls extend down to the bottoms of the legs ? And if you're cutting holes, are...

    Hi all, A few of you may remember my story of how our King George pool collapsed: http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/72842-New-member-wondering-about-AGP-warranties So the new pool is moving along. I've come to the conclusion (after reading here and in some AGP installation instruction...

    Looking to install new above ground pool

    Bob, I'm replacing a 24' with a 24'. We're having the ground dug and going to have to tweak the edge of the deck (going from a "round" made from 16 straight panels to a truly round) so if we wanted to go bigger, we could. Would need to look at the heat pump and the water pump to check their...
