    It never turned pink with the drops either. I will do that. I actually forgot to check the strength. I got 10 more gallons. I will check this before I put it in.

    I did this beautifully in my little intex pool a few years ago beautifully. I don't know if having my third kid has completely depleted what little brain cells I had left but I can't understand what I need to do. I have a 18' round (54 inch Deep) partially buried MELENIA from pool factory...

    18' Round Blue Cascade Nevada partially buried?

    Thanks - I did ask my builder and he said no to the foam cove. And thanks for insight on the pump! - - - Updated - - - My liner is going to on poolcrete - I need a pad between this?

    18' Round Blue Cascade Nevada partially buried?

    Okay one more question: Should I get the cove to go around the walls. My installer is using the pool-crete on the floor. Is the cove needed?

    18' Round Blue Cascade Nevada partially buried?

    The owners manual says: We do not recommend backfilling or grading earth up against the pool wall or frame covering any part of them. I guess I was thinking about going rogue after the installers left and the pool was filled and using my own guy.

    18' Round Blue Cascade Nevada partially buried?

    Hey pool friends! We went to get a quote from the pool place yesterday and I think we've decided on the pool in my thread title. I have researched here (and beyond) about partially burying our AGP. Of course, I ask the sales rep yesterday and he said no more than 6 inches. I have read that 2...
