Just starting the 3rd season and thought I would drop a few comments on what I would do differently if I started again: 1) Wouldn't bother with the salt water system - I probably spent as much time making sure it was doing its job then I would just shocking the pool once a week and keeping the...

I'd say its the 1.25 inch hose and connections. When you block one outlet you are basically going from 2 to 1 hoses feeding the 1.5 inch after the junction. The outlets and junction are restricting it further. Then when the other one is not blocked there is plenty of supply, so not much suction...

Firstly, I want to caveat everything with saying I don't know how bad winters are in Toronto (but assume they are baaaad!) so will not comment on that part. In terms of the order, I would have thought that it would be best to put the stronger tarp on the bottom. Its your first line of defense...

Interested to hear about the heat pump performance. I ended up getting a Hydro Pro P14 (13.5 Kw) heat pump, more down to availability and delivery to Ireland, Brexit is screwing us buying from the UK...

:LOL::ROFLMAO: I think you meant its for the dogs!! Hopefully they will share! Nice job.

They might move 1"-2" but not too much and usually only a few will move a bit. Wouldn't add wood. The only other thing I can think is that the top of the pool is too big? Is it at all possible that top bars are not fully inserted/attached?

Is the liner fully flat, with no wrinkles, when the base is like that? Are you pushing out the sides as its filling? Also, hard to tell from the images, but the pavers look very small. You need something that allows the legs to be on the paver from the start and then slide out if it needs to...

I had very hard ground so put 2" pavers 16"x16" to support the legs and 2" of sand covering everything else. This image was very helpful for laying out the pavers but would have been easier if the measurements were to the outside edge of the pavers

Unfortunately I don't think there is any coming back from that without emptying the pool. The pavers look very short/narrow for the leg to have some room to move during filling or while settling. Good luck!

You looking at 25' 10" x 13' 10" to the outer edges of the support legs but then you might want to add another 6" each side if you are putting down pavers so the leg will be in the middle. So at least 26' 10" X 14' 10"

Finally finished!

Are you sure you used the right combination of poles? They are not all the same.

A few updates.... Got the plumbing almost done. Still waiting for the heater to finish off that side. the decking is coming along nicely Now if we could only get a few days of good weather!!!

Thanks for all the replies! Hadn't planned upgrading the Intex stuff yet. I'll probably stick with it for this season and see how it works. Pump will be below water level so should be ok. I am going to put in a small retaining wall using the deck support posts, its not too deep so should...

Hi All, This has been a great resource, just installing a 24x12 Intex pool (semi-inground) and found some great information here.

Ok, so I am installing a 24x12 intex pool (had a round one at my last house). I have decided to have it semi in ground, 30" down. Here are some of my progress pics (ignore the mess, I am getting the patio done at the same time, also there is a deck being installed around the pool in a few...
