    Pool leaking where hose connects on the outside

    Hi all, I have a slight leak coming from where the hose connects to the pool. I've taken a video of it here: Any help or advice on fixing this would be greatly appreciated. If it requires draining the pool down to the level of this connection then I would rather just let it sit all summer...

    Setting up intex pool for the first time and the whole bottom is leaky

    South side of the pool (nearest the house). I just went back out there for a fourth time and this time I spotted the leak, the way I was able to spot it was by going underneath and looking for the sun. I saw some bright light and touched the spot and sure enough it was a small hole about the...

    How have you child proofed your above ground pool?

    How thick of foam to use under the pool?

    Thank you much for all of the answers! I think the 1" foam will probably be sufficient to use with the ground cover over those and perhaps some weed prevention below the foam though I still need to figure that part out. Our backyard has a bit of a slope towards the house where the pool will be...

    How thick of foam to use under the pool?

    Hi all, I am going to be digging and leveling out the foundation this weekend for our new Intex 18' x 48" above ground pool. 1. I see that Menards has lots of different foam board insulation thicknesses available, what is the preferred thickness I should buy? 3/4", 1", 2", 4"? 2. Does the...
