    Intex pool - what are the caps called?

    I need to close my pool! Someone told my husband that there were caps that you could close the in-put and out-put for the pump. I do not know what any of these things are called so that I can order them. Can anyone help me with this? My husband keeps calling them plugs, but I would think...

    Takin' it down to re-level...what do I do with the pool??

    If I drain the pool to have the area re-leveled, what would you suggest I do with the pool? Take it completely apart? Pick it up and move it to the grass? I am guessing it weighs at least 300 lbs.

    Anyone have suggestions about the water being 4 inches off level? My husband does not want to drain the pool!! But just based on what I've read, I am scared to death to get into the darn thing. Will it be OK through about September?? and then we'll take it down.

    Level??

    I went out and looked this morning and my high end has come down about an inch... I went around and measured around the pool and at most of the poles the water measures are about same. At one pole it is one inch lower and at one it measures three inches higher. Basically, will the pool hold...

    Level??

    We just put up an intex ultra frame 20 x 48 pool. I wish I had seen this site before doing so... My husband and I spent two days leveling our yard in over 100 degree weather. It is now filled...no turning back. In the 6 o'clock to 8 o'clock position it is now low (luckily at the pump...
