    Is creaking normal with an Intex pool?

    The T bars on our metal frame pool are really creaking when people move in the pool, is that normal? It's freaking me out a bit, especially as a couple legs are not perfectly straight. They lean in very slightly. the pool is level (we checked!)

    Day two and beyond - daily routine

    Our pool is up! I tested Ph and Chlorine and they were spot on. The acid is filtering through the sock. Daughter is happily swimming :) So do I test anything else? What do you from day two and on? So, my daily schedule now that we've 'opened' the pool. Thanks!

    I am clueless. Intex above ground pool total newbie.

    We ended up with the 13x39 Intex sold by Target because anything taller would have been too much for our young child. It turns out this is an oddball pool size sold only by Target and when I called Intex to be sure we purchased all of the correct components that would work with the pool, they...

    I'm here because I have a child.

    lol. I was one of those 'I will never get an above-ground pool' people since we live in a beachy area. But my child has weak legs and the ocean can be a little much for her. So we are hopeful an above ground pool will build up her leg strength (and confidence). Thanks for having me! I already...
