I have filled up my pool multiple times and the water level keeps dropping, but couple of things. Last year was the first year we had the pool and it did the same thing for a while then quit, I assumed it was just the pool stretching and getting settled. This year I was kind of assuming the...

Is it common to have to backwash multiple times in a row? Hooked up the filter for the first time and have started running it to get the pool ready. I noticed that after backwashing and rinsing that it will run fine for a while (not long) before the pressure drops from the return, and so I...

Now that the pool is completely thawed there is quite of bit of algae(?) in it. It's kind of a red/brown color and not easily gotten with the pool vacuum as the jets on the vacuum just disturb it and blow it around, it does get some just not much of it. Same thing when trying to use a skimmer...

I have an Intex Ultra 18x52 and watched a video on winterizing where the guy closed off the valves, unhooked the hoses but left the water completely full and then covered it. He said the first year he drained the pool below the intakes and the cover sank with the weight of the snow/rain, so for...

I just installed my pump and was following all the instructions just fine until I got to backwash. The step prior to backwash it says to open the valves (the two for the hoses going to the pool) and let the water get rid off all the air. Then when it says you see the air gone (which I did) to...

We finally got the pool up and are staring to fill, the bottom is completely wrinkle free, but I have noticed that after about a 2 feet of water some legs are closer to the liner than others. All legs are vertical, I have checked with the level as it keeps filling. Is there any concern about...

Got my foam down, pool is up (not filled). I am debating on whether to cut out all exposed foam or only cut out the foam where the pavers will be for the feet. If I only cut out the foam for the pavers, how much will the feet move when filled? Maybe its just better to cut away all exposed?

I see people in past post have put foam down, taped together, then put the tarp on top of the foam and then installed the pool. 1.) Can you just set the legs on the foam or will the legs crush into or through the foam? I am using the XPS foam board 1" thick. or Is it better to find where the...

We just ordered an Intex Ultra XTR 18x52 round pool. We are going to have someone come out and level a 20ft square area to put the pool in, they will also be brining sand to put on top of the dirt. My first two question of many probably. Do I need to add foam on top of the sand and then...
