@mknauss here’s what I’m working with. Not sure if you can see the clarity or not.

he’s bringing that home to me now! Haha. @mknauss Do I need to SLAM even if my CC is 0 and I’m not losing chlorine??

Hi all. We didn’t do a good job closing our pool for winter. We had a baby at the end of August and it was pretty green. We chucked bleach in it and called it good. It stayed uncovered for the winter. We opened it a bit early this year Since we knew it was going to be a beast. Since it was...

@Wobblerlorri - I'm laughing so hard at this! It's so true! There have been many a conversations about bleach vs "chlorine" *eye roll* - we eventually get there in the end! @sammckin - at least it's build to last! happy pool times friends!

It's funny you say this. I've repeatedly told my husband to fill it to the seam. He refuses with a "water displacement" argument. I think he's nervous because last year we had the one corner lower than the rest and a bunch of water would go through the opening and make it sink lower and lower...

Well, after many resisted "I told you's," my husband said if I got the foam, he'd put it under the pool. Ended up going with 1.5" thick foam to match the thickness of the boards. And voila, seems to work much better. We'll see how it progresses over the summer, but it seems to be decently level...

Yeah, @sammckin - our legs barely reached the front of our paver/frame. I had no way of explaining to my husband in a logical way that 1-1/2" is a lot of a difference to raise up the pool liner so that it would land on there correctly. You and @Blacklisted think that raising up that middle...

Your build looks awesome so far, can't wait to see how it turns out!

Me too! We paused the drain because we had to go out of town. I'm sure we'll pick the process back up this week or this weekend. I think the plan is to drain it enough so we can move the far-side boards in a bit. (and avoid having to move the whole pool). Hopefully I will have an update for you...

Attention Intex Rectangle Experts -- Need your help and advice! After our disaster last summer: Haste definitely makes waste... pool fail. Suggestions for rebuild welcome! I spent a lot of time digging around the site, trying to find old pool links I had saved but didn't quite fit the bill...

You're right, not exact, but definitely helpfull. THANK YOU!

Greetings TFP'ers! I am desperately trying to find a pool build. I have no idea when it was posted, but I found the thread over the summer. I thought I had saved the link, but low and behold it's nowhere to be found. And as much as I thought I was adept at searching, I can't find it to save my...

Thanks everyone. I think it's a combination of everything.

La Crosse is in Wisconsin! Tons of snow, freezing temps and ice. We can roll and fold as best we can, and have a pretty decent space under our garage or in our laundry room. But still, I'm hesitant to mess with the liner much. And yes, that's Theo. He's a beagle/german shepherd mix and LOVEs...

Hi all, we moved to a new house in June 2018 with gorgeous views and a big hole in a two tiered deck. What else to put back-in, but a pool?! Our thoughts exactly! We received our Intex 12'x24' pool in early 2018, dimensions were almost a perfect match to the hole. In our excitement to get...

Hi everyone - I'm brand new to TFP and to owning a pool. If it weren't for this site, I would be completely overwhelmed and lost!! I was insanely nervous to pour bleach into the pool, but combing through this site gave me the courage to do it, and within hours my pool was sparkling! (My...
