    16x32 radiant in Pennsylvania

    We've put more water in and we're still about 5 inches off. Any advice @egghead2004? Edited to add: We're draining it now to readjust the liner.

    16x32 radiant in Pennsylvania

    We've been taking it slow, but my parents came over yesterday to watch our little ones while I assisted my husband with the liner. We put down the happy bottom, coves, and liner. We're just concerned with the liner reaching the steps. My husbands thinking positive that the water will help push...

    16x32 radiant in Pennsylvania

    Yes, it did help. Thank you so much! I was a bit late reading it, they delivered at 7am but my husband said we should be good. He said he didn't put the plates on because he didn't see it in the guide but he said he did make sure the concrete didn't come up inside. The concrete trucks chute...

    16x32 radiant in Pennsylvania

    The concrete comes tomorrow for the collar around the pool and the two "footers" that are in the inside. How did you get the concrete in those footers? My husbands a bit worried about how to get it in there since the pool walls are all up.

    16x32 radiant in Pennsylvania

    Thank you, we just left it the way it is. I guess they discussed a plan to dig and make it level for a patio above where the pool is but he said he can dig farther back and do a retaining wall? He's working on the steps today. n Praying he's doing everything right since he's doing this job...

    16x32 radiant in Pennsylvania

    Hi guys, I've been following the forums for about a year while we debated what pool to buy. We looked into optimum, fox, radiant, and doughboy. We ended up buying a 16x32 oval radiant pool with a walk in step. We're making it semi inground. We hired an excavator to do the digging. He did go a...

    New Radiant Metric 16*32 oval installation

    The installation guide is calling for 9.25 yards of concrete, but you only needed 6-7? He agrees with what you said and its about $1,400 for 9.25 yards delivered but if we only needed 6-7 it'd be less. We have the excavator coming (we used when we built our house last year) to dig the hole...

    Our 16x32 oval radiant arrived today and we got the walk in steps as well, we haven't started digging or doing any prep work yet. We were looking at concrete costs, did you mix and do the concrete yourself? If so, did you buy it by the bag? How many did you use? We priced a cement truck coming...

    Buying radiant oval

    We're purchasing a radiant 16x32 foot oval with walk in steps this week. Before we finalize the sale I had a few questions. 1. Which pump would you recommend? 2. Would you recommend going with the radiant LED light or another brand? We're doing the install ourselves, completely in the ground...

    Semi inground pool options

    We're located in central Pennsylvania and we're debating between the Aquasport, radiant, doughboy, Fox and Optimums. The Aquasport and doughboy were comparable and lowest quotes. Optimums was in the middle. The radiant and fox are comparable and the biggest quotes. We're looking to install...
