Well new pool is filled. It had a small pinhole on the side about 3' up. Went and got an underwater patch and patched the inside and the outside. Other than that it seems to be holding water.

This is going to sound made up but trust me it's for real. A month ago I bought the pool from Walmart. Finally got it set up last weekend. Well it was leaking from somewhere. I took it down last night and returned it for another. This morning I go to take the new one out and the liner has a very...

How come the pictures don't show up for me. I just leveled my 22' pool. Had to go down 4-8" on one half of the circle. It did suck bad. Lol

Honestly I would drain and repack the dirt under those legs. Maybe you could drain halfway and see if you can prop the top rail up enough with lumber to get some clearence.

How did you know where to patch? Mine looks like it could be anywhere along the bottom seam.

Thanks for the tips. It's not a huge leak. Im sure it's along he bottom seam but how to determine where will be hard.

This sucks. Started filling yesterday afternoon. It's about 3/4 full now and I found water leaking under the liner. Probably a crappy seam on the bottom. I emailed best way already but being a holiday I'm sure I won't hear back soon. Either way I don't know what to do. I don't want to spend the...

Can't afford foam this year. I'm going to put down some sand but my soil Is already very soft. Not a rock one when I was digging.

So I'm in the process now. 22' pool. Had go down about 7" on half the circle. I was able to bring home some equipment from work to get it pretty close. My question is this. How important is it to have the floor absolutely level versus the blocks I'll use for the legs. I feel if the blocks are...

Atwoods farm and garden Tulsa Oklahoma. 10% $2.99 per gallon $8 for box of 4. I bought one box but might go get 4-5 more.

Yes I already own both pumps. No that I think about it, it was kind of a dumb question. Anyways thanks.

I see everyone upgrading to sand filters ,which I'd love to do one day, but can't afford it right now. I just bought a 22' that comes with the 2500 cartridge filter pump. I also have another 2500 cartridge filter from our old pool. Anyone see any problem with using both and have one do the...

Thanks for the info ike! I have been pricing sand filters. Is the Intex brand doing well for people? I plan to do the sidewall skimmer too. I have my old 2500 cartridge pump from my old easy set so I'll have 2 of those for now. Might run the skimmer off one. I had salt before and it did great...

Thanks Kim. I've spent most the night last night on that subject. In particular underlayment ideas. Lots of great info.

Moved to a new house with no pool anymore :(. thinking about Picking up the 22' this weekend. Won't begin assembly for a few weeks. Anyone got any must do tips. I read the frame can rust pretty quick. Would it be wise to spray the inside of the pipes with some sort of rust proofing? I have a...
