I dont blame her, I'm a grown man and that ladder scared me too! Confer make some nice ladders, a small deck or platform with a ladder attached would be a big improvement.

You could have the builder pour you a concrete pad to place the pool on if they're still in the area, be sure to make sure it is reinforced and able to be bonded properly.

We will get your water clear and balanced in no time. Test results look ok.

I was wondering if that was high. I bought the rechargeable intex vac for $50 a couple months ago and went to buy another for a friend a week later, the price was almost double!

1 left on Amazon, not sure if thats a good price or not. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073S4XG46/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_2RXgFbWKR6CZ2

That's what I did to my old Intex pump, cut the gfci off and replaced it with a standard 3 prong and plugged into a gfci outlet, worked great.

I would keep an eye on and try to wait myself.

They should be on 4 inch pavers or PT lumber.

Sounds like you have the hang of it!! Good job tackling your water! It can be intimidating at first, no doubt. You took the bull by the horns and got it done! Folks here are a great resource, stick with the advice here and before long you will be helping others....that's what makes TFP awesome!!

I think you're missing the plunger valve maybe? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000SPOZ5I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Dx1fFbGH38BBF

I used a water level that I was able to make for a couple bucks.

If you want to go with pavers you will find 16x8x4 inch half blocks in the masonry aisle at the big box stores. Or you can use PT lumber, rated for ground contact if possible. I tend to over engineer.

Yes you do, pressure treated wood or 4 inch half blocks.

Basically a separate loop with a separate little pump to circulate water through your heaters. Hook your filter and pump combo back up as you would if you didnt have heaters. Then use a a couple of hoses with another little pump just dropped over the pool wall to heat water when you want it...

How hard would it be to bypass those heaters and see what your flow is like? That would tell you if the heaters are the problem. If the heaters are the problem you put the them on their own little pump just to circulate your heated water.

I would just like to commend you on the engineering here.

That's fine for now

You have good instincts, I've always read that ph and ta adjustments should be made a little a time. Only using half using half the acid was a good move. You're on your way now!

I like your style!

You guys are good!

In that case I would take a measurement from the top rail to the wall and keep a close eye on it, if it looks like it's moving then measure again and see how far. When you close for the the season, drain and set it back up with proper support for the legs.

Doesn't look that bad to me. What is under the legs?

Holy cow, now that's a deck!!!

You're in good hand now!

I thought my dog was spoiled rotten?!

I still use the instructions that came with my kit even after having it for a year. Its pretty easy once you get the hang of it, it is actually a fun little game trying keep the water perfect.

The barrier isn't necessarily needed but its nice to have. I think you will be ok on the feet issue so long as you use pavers or wood to disperse the weight.

I'd take it down and level it, then come back with pavers or pt wood level with the ground. 4 inch thick pavers if you're going to go that route. Some prefer wood. You definitely want to disperse the weight on the legs though. I'm not sure about the plastic feet, maybe post a picture. No...

Plumb as in straight. You'll have to get in the pool and work the wrinkles out with your feet once you get an inch or 2 of water in it. The you need to be vigilant about tending to the legs as it fills, at least until they is enough water in the pool to hold everything in place. For the back...
