    Got new bungee cords put filter and pump away. Also covered ladder with tarp on side of house. All set for spring baby. Can't wait to open her up clean and clear. Also got a pump from amazon so I could drain to street. Set it 6 inches or so below the return. Sent from my LG-VS980

    Thanks... Those black cords actually came with the cover, so hopefully they will last :) I might be able to just get away with these new adjustable bungee cords too, will have to see how much tension I need and how far they stretch.

    Seemed like it worked out well. Ordered some adjustable bungies to replace the big zip ties I used. Sent from my LG-VS980

    New fittings thanks to the guys that mentioned them. Also put the ball valve things in. Have some more to do to come up with a better way to support hose. Didn't like the pressure it was putting on the wall. I bought some PVC parts but my glue was dried up so have to get some more. Sent...

    Me too. Thanks for your help. Pool is totally filled, filter up and running. Installing the Skimmer and return was a bit scary. Then making it fit with my intex sand filter was fun. I'd like to get some different plumbing with shutoff valves. Pics coming as soon as my cell charges...
