    Hayward wanda the whale...... wt?!?

    So everytime it sucks up a leaf it clogs in the outlet and quits working..... What am I missing here? I been hooking it up to my blue attachment that came with my intex delux skimmer. I have to be missing something...... Do I take the gray outlet screen off and hook it up?

    skimmer for intex 32x16

    Was a big pain.... I imagine if my yard was somewhat level to begin with things would have went a lot easier. A weekend project turned into 5 weeks.... I think it's a good pool though design-wise like I said just make sure your yard is level and if not pay someone to come in and do it right. -...

    CYA and bleach wasnt added yet..... Should I add both or should I be using the quart of bleach a day for maintenance until I get the proper test kit?

    Should I stop filling now?

    Everything measured within a couple inches before filling pool now one corner is 14 inches and the other 8 inches I don't know if this will even itself out as it fills or only get worse? 32x16 intex As the side with deeper water walls start to straighten will it push water to the other side of...

    Out of options have to raise 8"

    We got so much rain yesterday we couldnt get anything more done.... And theres more coming. At least I got to see how the water is sitting in the hole and it looks pretty good. I decided to go with aglime instead of sand since I wanted something that will compact good. 5.5 yards will be here...

    Everything was untouched until earlier in the week when i took a tiller to it..... Ground is down to clay now. I only tilled about 3" of the 6" that needs to be moved. Luckily my buddy might have small skid loader tomorrow and can help me skim off these high spots! If this goes well we will be...

    After pool is up what else will I need? Test kit?

    We should have our Intex 32x16 pool with saltwater up soon..... What are some other things I should consider buying and having as far as maintenance/start up? I see a lot of people talk about a good test kit. With the way things have been going I'm sure something will be off and I will need...

    Out of options have to raise 8"

    Awesome..... Sounds alot like aglime/barnlime. Thats what my Dad also recommended and said once you compact it and get it damp its like concrete. And its only 5.95 a ton. Guess I should be thinking about drainage too. We had a good rain last week and the area didnt hold any water but the one...
