16x48 Summer Waves AGB, let me make this simpler, not wanting to spend over about $50 at most. I don't mind having to roll up my sleeves. I looked at vacuum's that attach to hose but don't want to be adding water to the pool. Do I have any options on vacuums? Would like to vacuum and any water...

TF-100 but like I said, first time using, first pool and I don't know diddley-squat

She has a gallon jug of 10% chlorinating liquid

Walmart is all we have, my wife is there now. If you don't mind, what should she get?

I dunno, wife bought it at walmart says Clorox Chlorine Stabilizer prevents chlorine loss

I probably did something wrong. I have about 2-3 lbs of dry chlorine stabilizer and a gallon of chlorinating liquid. Pool holds around 5200 gals of water.

EDITED I did this pool math all wrong I put current in target eek FC = 1, Target 3 says 22 ounces bleach chlorine PH = 8.2 used 7.4 target don't know what to do/use TA = 400, target 60 says reduce PH to 7.2??? CYA = 0, target 40 says 72 oz liquid stabilizer The little blue box chlorine and ph...

I got this same problem. Just put a new lubed gasket in and it’s still leaking. Did you get yours fixed, if so how?

Got it filled up, well about 42 inches and that's a plenty but, yeah but! It's missing the gasket that goes on the bottom of skimmer pump so it's leaking water there. I called Polygroup CS and she was actually very nice and said she'd fedex me one but in the meantime :oops: my 5 gallon bucket is...

Just ordered kit last night from TF TestKits says USPS awaiting shipment. So chlorine or bleach, I know nothing. Wife just went to Walmart to see if they had anything we needed. We live in a very rural area...

Yard guy checked it with laser level, it came out to about 1 inch higher on grass side. So we adding water now and smoothing out bottom liner

Yeah, yard guy with laser is mowing now, he'll check level when he finishes and I'll go from there.

Haha, looks like that question cost me a small fortune for a cheap AGP....so where do I find CYA locally.

I'll probably start setting it up today and checking the level on it. If it's not over an inch off level I guess I'll go on and fill with water. I went on and ordered the TF100 test kit and speedstir last night, haven't received a delivery date so far. I bought 1 3inch chlorinating tablet and...

I understand there's a lot of water in the pool and there's a possibility of getting hurt somewhat if the pool were to bust while in it. But it don't make sense that being an half inch to an inch off level would cause it to burst wide open, I suppose it could burst open if it was completely...

Tks so the grass can grow thru the mat for underneath pool she ordered?

tks for reply and let me say, I don't need anything absolutely or even real near perfect and only my 5' 6" wife will be using this. Just nothing resembling an absolute stupid setup. It came a flood here last night and the ground in picture is hard as a rock this morning. Like I had posted , it's...

Think I found another location that appears big enough and pretty level. The grass needs cutting tho. I laid a level on a 2x4 with half on concrete and the rest on grass it looks like the grass section is at best 1/4-1/2 inch higher. About 1/3 of the pool would have to extend onto grass. So...

I can't tell how thick the concrete is but guessing all the wood needs removing and extending and leveling by around 3 ft all around the 14ft oval concrete. That would make an 17ft oval area for a 16ft round pool. Sound right?

My wife got me in this predicament, she bought and wanted the pool haha. The round concrete is 14ft round and even a 14ft pools legs would extend to the boards around concrete. Our northern fence belongs to our neighbors so that’s not an option. The ground at front of concrete is about level...

Thanks folks I just got a fenced backyard with no entry access to bring in dirt. Have one ground spot but it would need leveling somewhat. A messed up situation

those boards are 1 x 8 I believe. Wonder if 2 x 8’s would be sturdy enough

Ouch that sounds expensive. There are 3 boards around 8 inches width each running around concrete slab. Are there other options ?

The slab appears to be quite level, the wood is pretty old, didn't want to start filling it and boards crack/break. I didn't know about weight distribution on support legs. As you see in the picture one of the boards on left side has broken. And you probably answered what I fugured, that I'd...

Wife bought a Summer Waves 16 x 48 above ground that was hugely marked down. Knowing nothing about pools I don't know if it's any good or not. Haven't even assembled yet. Have to buy supplies and did buy a pad to put underneath, waiting on delivery. If it works at all I'm sure I'll have...

This round concrete slab is 14 ft surrounded by a little over 2ft of old wood, the 16ft round pool will come past concrete and legs would be on surrounding wood. I bought a 16ft round mat to put beneath the pool I just don't know if there will be any problems sitting it here. It's the only place...
