Hey foamer01, I put the foam down first then sand. I wasn't to sure how it went eather, but the cutout in the 90 deg part gave me the indication that is relief for the rail. I still hand tamped a 6" to8" cove of sand around the bottom for extra support. Good luck!

Wanted to give everyone that posted an update. Well the pool turned out well. The pool was about 2" out of shape. Tried like heck to get it perfect before putting water in it, but it was not out anywhere else so we decided to try it. Everything worked itself out as we filled the pool. Also...

Re: Ideal turnover rate Thanks, Jason

I have a 11,500 gallon above ground pool and my pump/sand filter system is a 1 1/2 hp cristal flo ll. And according to pentair's website this system turns 28,800 gal. in 8 hrs and 36,000 in 10 hrs. I'm not sure if they calculate for restictions, but that should be plenty of turnover in less...

Thanks techguy, looked at the walls this morning and believe it or not they are not that bad. It rained most of the morning, then I was busy, then I had to go into work. So I didn't get any pics, maybe tomorrow.

Well pool is filled to below skimmer (still need to put that in) and the walls are still not vertically level. I have noticed that my leveling of the ground wasn't the best because that is where the sides are not true. I will try and get some pics up tomorrow in the daylight. I'm thinking I can...

Yes the pool is seated well in the bottom track. But now that there is 10 to 15" of water in it, it seems like the walls are not straight vertically.....will they even out as the pool is filled?

New pool owner question: I am putting up a 21'x52" pool and need to know if the bottom track is out of round by 2" will this be a problem when pool is full. Thanks, Greg

Re: walls not square.. please help! Thanks again, cramar.. after taking some measurements I determined the pool to be eggshaped with the 12 and 6 oclock position out around 6". I had a friend come over and we peeled the liner back and fixed the out of round within 2" of being round. We could...

Re: walls not square.. please help! Thanks cramar, yes rookie mistake and got ahead of myself. You mentioned staking the bases but no where in my instructions does it say to do that. I didn't see any stakes come with the kit. I am now draining the 1 ft of water out and will check the bottom for...

Re: walls not square.. please help! Thank you, Mod Squad. Posted before I saw your last post. Ps. The pool still has about a foot of water in it

Re: walls not square.. please help! Well I just checked the diameter for roundness (if that's a word) and I am 4 to 5" oblonged. Not sure ithe base track is off. (Didnt really check that before putting in the liner) and now not sure what to do. I'm thinking of draining the water and taking the...

walls not square.. please help! Hello, I hope you can help a new pool owner putting the pool up himself. I have a 21'x52" pool and my ground is level within 1" all around. The sand is also level within an inch and compacted with a plate compactor. My problem is the sides of the pool. 80% of...
