I have a handmade half above, half below pool. Depth is only four feet total. Skimmer at the top edge, jet at two feet below that, with a GAME SandPro filter. Worked like a charm all year. I drained the pool after I found a couple of small cracks so I can repair them. I am going to move the...

It simply means that I curved the edge instead of leaving it at 90 degrees. Easier on the bottom. You might also note that in both construction photos, there is a beer sitting on the edge of the pool. Very important.

Oh, and by hard plumb, I mean connect the pump and filter with PVC. I want to move them into or near the little irrigation pump structure you see in the photo. Right now I just have it sitting next to the pool.

Here we go. This one includes the bond beam and skimmer in place. You can also see that the Quikwall has been applied, and I built a step in the corner that also acts as a sitting area.

Here is a shot during the construction. We added the shallow area as an afterthought, so I dug down a bit for that and bent the rebar over to connect into the upper slab, and of course, the block wall is only half as high as the rest. We put a radius on the edge that is the transition between...

Thanks Bob. Dimensions are 12' x 8' x 4' deep, except for a three foot long section at the end where you see the blue tile. That section is only 2'deep. Just something big enough to get in and cool off in the South Texas heat. The block is dry stacked over rebar dowels and all the cells are...

Hey out there, anybody ever hard plumbed this model. I'm looking for a parts list and/or fabrication requirements. Thanks in advance.

Hey Pool Fans, Just got done constructing my pool. I guess it is kind of a hybrid. Half in ground, half above. I have a GAME Sand Pro 50 hooked up, and it's running beautifully, but I want to hard plumb it. Anybody ever done it with this model? I'm looking for a parts list or fabrication...
