Just a little update. Thanks for all your help folks, your knowledge has made a bit of this a lot easier

Has anyone made their own ladder for their above ground yet? I'm trying to come up with ideas on how to and what to make it out of. Ive come up with a few ideas but I'm not really sure they will be able to hold up to 250lbs as some of the folks that will be using the pool are close to that...

So things have escalated rather quickly. I am now the owner of a- IntelliPro 013004-01 pump Easy Touch 4 Salt cell ic20 Screen Logic Solar touch All of this for a 5k gallon above ground pool. Overkill? Nah, just enough, well that is unless these solar panels don't keep it where I want it year...

When I add the jets is there anything that I need to do to prevent the liner from tearing? I really concerned that I wont have am extra ring around the hole like the others have that came from the factory, any advice on this?

Is there anything I need to do when adding jets/returns? Besides cutting the hole in the liner and making sure the rubber rings and fittings are tight? I’m worried about it stretching and tearing around the holes

I’ve already installed the skimmer per the instructions in the reply earlier in this post. I haven’t been able to test it for leaks as of yet as it started rain and a huge electrical storm as I was getting the last two screws in. I am running all hard lines up to the pool but connecting to the...

Well with that being the case I won’t be needing the CV I picked up today and will return them.

I hadn’t really gotten that far as of yet. That’s not something I think I need done right away. I’m just trying to get the plumbing stuff worked out first. I've never done anything with a pool, I can build you cars, trucks, boats and buildings but Pools are foreign to me as of the moment. so...

One of the two you and I talked about, either the 1 or 3hp. Honestly it all depends on which one I can get my hands on first as they aren’t the easiest things to find currently other than online and I don’t want that crappy warranty

I feel like I know how that went. But I also want to see the pics lol

the pump is going next t the white roof, between that and the chicken coop in front of the side by side. its going to be about a 40 foot run front the skimmer and intakes

pump will be above the level of the lines and pool, the pool is in the ground now. I expect the valve to prevent the water from flowing back to the pool and to keep the lines primed for the pump to pull from right away the pump will be above the level of the pool, not by much but it will be a...

I'm thinking about running the skimmer line separate of the other two intakes that way I can turn the others down with a valve and draw more from the skimmer to keep the top clean and for running a vacuum, thoughts? Also is it wise to put a check valve on each of the intake lines right before...

So which end should I put the skimmer? Down with the other two returns? Send the water clockwise. jets on the left side and end of the pool and returns on the right? In the pic the two red circles to the right are intakes, the one on the left is the return or jet. where should I place the...

Even with adding solar panels on the roof the VS pump won't have any issues? I'm assuming that when the solar is open and going to the panels the pump will need to be at a higher rpm to compensate for the head pressure to push to the roof, but that wont increase the need for more intakes...

So I took a look at the thread suggested above and it held a lot of great information. Now my question is this, do I only use the skimmer and an intake or do I use the skimmer and original intakes as well? If I use the skimmer as the only intake do I use the original intakes as returns...

I currently have two penetrations out and one back into the pool. I bought a skimmer that you need to cut into the liner for as well as two more jets back into the pool. My concern is that it’s a soft sided pool and not a metal side and I am concerned about it ripping or tearing once the pool is...

I will not be “filling it in”, I will be building a composite deck above and over the gap that will go around the entire pool and connect the pool area to the concrete porch under the roof.

i was looking at the Pentair 011059 model as it operates with smaller plumbing and since it’s an above ground it kinda fits my situation. Good or bad choice?

That is the controller I have for the solar yes. I assume that would work without anything extra with the pump you suggested? Just a communication wire between them?

I recently assembled an Intex XTR Ultra 9’x18’x52” pool in my yard, well actually below. I put the pool 90% in the ground inside a retaining wall I built so it was more like a regular pool. It is an ongoing project and this is just one step closer to the end of the backyard project I have also...
