Hi everyone. My pool is four years old. On original sand. Could the sand break down into "dust" after four years? I'm seeing this brown dust accumulate on the pool bottom, at the liner seams, and slight gaps in my underfloor insulation sheets. I vacuum it all carefully, by hand, into the...

I think everyone who thinks they wanta pool should start out with something low cost, as a test. Our first pool was a $400 intex, and we got five years out of it. It taught me the proper water chemistry methods, and showed that we will use a pool, and don't have a problem caring for it. If it...

May sound like an obvious answer, but I'm serious. I have a 24' round Venture steel walled agp kit from family leisure. I'm going to set it on a continuous rim of pavers instead of simply putting pavers under the legs only, for several reasons. I'd like to have the pavers circle location...

I'm using your plan too, except after studying the pool design and thinking about it, I've decided to put a complete rim of pavers down. My reasons are several, but mainly because I can see the legs themselves don't support the wall, it pretty much bears evenly around the entire perimeter...

It's kinda weird I guess, but I'm having a great time doing the site leveling. Of course I own a tractor with loader, have plenty of experience with it, and plenty of time to spend enjoying doing it. I am looking at things as a journey instead of a destination. The first pool we put up, it...

I had similar problem. My intex frame had these t shaped legs, welded stubby horizontal tubes on top of the vertical leg. If yours is similar this may work: I pulled a rolling floor Jack (for automotive service) up to the pool, and cut a pc of 2x4 to stand on the Jack and extend up under the...

Hi. I bought a pool kit from family leisure a week ago, and have not started site prep yet due to weather. So I've been reading everything that came with it, and all the great advise on this site. The pool is called Venture, and I can't tell who the manufacturer is. It's 54" x 24 foot round...
