Thanks Guys, Got the pH back to where it needs to be, and my Test kit came today. I ended up with the Taylor 2006 kit. Anyway, here a couple more pics.... Filling her up! Took about 30 minutes, and that included me asking the guys to stop the flow once the pool had some water in it so I...

We just finished putting our pool up and I have to agree, the leveling is certainly the worst part of the job. Overall I'm happy with the quality of the poly group pool, with the exception of the pump. With that said, I've done a lot reading on these pools and that is a common complaint so I...

Thanks Casey, I have some and will add it to bring it down.

Do yourself a huge favor and rent a sod cutter if you can. I think it was $40 for 4 hours on a saturday and I finished the job within an hour. It also helps level the area while it cuts. Not very hard to run either.

Thanks guys. Throughout the day I found that she was there mainly to dig holes after I leveled the are and to drop land mines. She does chip in with security though so I'll let her slide. Got the pool filled from the water truck yesterday and already had my first issue....left the house to...

I bought the black liner to put between the pool liner and mulch (or rocks, still undecided). I will also trim up the underlaying tarp and maybe even poke a few holes in it to allow for drainage.

Thanks UnkyJoe, I am working on the legs, gotta re-adjust them once I have some water in there, when its empty they just all move. Getting it filled this morning.

Thanks for the heads up Shoei1. I've read about the swaps and realize the pump probably won't cut it, but I'm hoping I can make it atleast for a while with the stock pump. I can't really delay filling the pool at this point so I'm kinda stuck. I wonder if aquarium bulkheads would fit in the...

Thats what I was thinking. My only concern was trapping water with the tarp, but it is a pool after all, right?!

I think it was asked earlier but I'm not sure it was answered. What do you do with the extra tarp surrounding the pool? I ended up with a 15X15 and a 15X19 on my 14' pool, so the larger tarp has quite a bit of excess. I was thinking of cutting it but since that is a permanent fix I wanted to...

Hello everyone, I've been reading this forum a lot the last few weeks since we purchased our 14' X 42" Ultra Series pool from Wallyworld. First I'd like to say that this site has been a great resource and I have learned a lot about the process of setting up one of these pools. My significant...
