Yep we do have triplet girls. Getting help outta busy teens lol sorry its a struggle to get them to do daily chores. Any suggestions on pump set up? Any thank y'all for helping.

We decided to drain and replace our Intex 18'ft pool and replace it with a nice oval. We are not planning to bury any part of the pool and we do want swg on the pool. Since we had the Intex we had a nice sand pump and swg that where Intex. Worked beautiful!!!!! We are looking at a Sharkline...

PJ, we talked to a pool builder about our pool construction on Saturday. My husband asked him about just doing a concrete pad under the pool. His reply to us was total over kill. He suggested we use mason sand and the 4" paver and we'd be fine. I tend to agree because he's a engineer he...

We have decided no go for sand and my only problem with foam is my husband says after a couple years with that much weight foam will flatten. We leave up our pool year round and don't want to tear it down to replace foam. Has anyone used padding like they use underneath carpet? I saw that in...

No, it's been so long since I posted on a forum I could'nt tell you. I am sure someone will jump in and help us both.

Congratulations on your new pool build! We are a larger family and after having the 18ft intex we ordered and will start our new build in a few weeks. It's amazing what you can get them to do when you say new pool! :) We chose the Intex 16x32x54 for our build and I am as nervous as I am...

Ok so we visited our local lowes and i have done MORE reading and research based on ya'lls input. What about this, I found 16x16x4 concrete pads. If I use those and make a total surround of the perimeter of the pool and then fill the base that the liner will set on with mason sand and level...

I believe my pavers are the 2" or at least 1.5 from lowes. I am so nervous about such a larger pool to level. I have looked into foam boards and my lowes only carries a 2" board. Is this overkill?

Lacy I was reading your build earlier. Looks great. We are having someone do that. Lucky for me a customer offered. I used pavers last time that worked for leveling. I hate you can feel them under the liner. This shouldn't be an issue since this is rectangular and not oval. Are you doing and...

We just ordered our new Intex pool 16x32x52. We have an 18ft round at the moment. For our current pool we had a pro level it and just used tarping under it and cement blocks for the legs and not one single issue. With this larger pool i am so excited and a little scared to be honest. Any...

We bought a 18ft ultra last summer. I thought shoot why not we had'nt saved enough to get our inground pool and with 7 kids why not right! Well little did we know we'd fall in the LOVE with this pool. I have had above and inground pools before and thought maintenance would be awful with our...
