This is Season #2 for my SummerWaves Elite 18ft. It has a skimmer/cartridge pump combo.
Last year we upgraded from a 15ft to the 18. In doing so I had to remove a massive stump, it was the size of a 60s Volkswagen Beetle. Between battling keeping the pool clean & leveling issues, we limped through the season.
This year I’m having the area professionally leveled & reinforced. I’m planning on buying a sand pump & the conversion kit. I’d also like to use the skimmer vacuum plate so I can keep the pool cleaner but I don’t know if it will work they way it’s supposed to.
With so many options and price points it’s a lot to take in.
