You need a stronger pump for the light to work.

My last 3 pools were on couple of blocks like yours with no problems. It's not the correct/right way, but worked out fine for me. However, there will be a lot of movement in the joints for faster rusting with salt water. With my (now leveled) pool, way less movement and rusting. Good luck either...

In the past,I just put some pavers under the low legs. No problems with the liner being stretched a little.

Re: Game Solar pannel @amazon True, I do like the all in one contained unit with feet. No need to build a frame or roof installation, has it's own hard shell and clear cover. I do plan on making a rack for a clean install next year. Surely better than current setup.

Just picked up 8 of these for next season, should be interesting. Can't go wrong at this price I figured. Seems more durable than the traditional ones that my dogs can puncture. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ULYKO9W?refRID=TZRYKWB1SF0PTJ5MRNEK&ref_=pd_rhf_sc_p_img_2

I have dave the diver and was getting the same thing. There is a solution, I started to hang the last hose from the vac on the output return valve. So the the hose that goes to dave was straight when not in use. After started doing this, whalla no more side ways. Try it, good luck.

Good lord, that's bigger than the width of my backyard. I can imagine how much the liner weighs.

Just noticed browsing at Amazon that the 15x15 coleman shelter is sold out, you guys:)

Thanks everyone, the shelter looks awesome at night when the pool light is on. Also you get a lot of privacy from close neighbors.

I wish my yard was that big, nice setup.

Finished up the pool a while ago after the pavers were set in. So nice to set up on a level ground, took like 40 minutes. My dinky 11' umbrella wasn't cutting it, so the huge tent it is. The hardware is the same as last year except for the 16' pool instead of 14'. I did use the dual suction for...

Normal, my factory one does the same thing.

No, it's a rebranded Bestway. I've had both, stick with Intex unless you want a different tile pattern.

I'm not at home right now, but I think skimmer >40 or something that fit the skimmer thread to male pvc/abs >female to 40 thread abs >valve>game. Don't worry I recall bringing the skimmer to Lowes also :). I also find it's easier to match up abs black piping instead of white pvc.

Can't remember, but less parts than above. But yes, that GAME 40 to intex connector helps a lot. I used quite a bit of those in my setup, much simpler than messing with pvc fittings. Nice to use the intex hoses to the hardware with active small kids.

I've used salt water for 4 years starting with a 12' pool. It's easy on the eyes and skin, my kids don't wear goggles anymore. Every year all I do is put water and add cya and that's it. The salt/chlor generator does the rest. Just clean the copper plate in vinegar every month or so for optimal...

1) yes 2) no You're in good shape, use any of the intex stuff.

I've always been curious about the two also. It would be nice to incorporate some extra heat into the pool without the solar stuff. I'm sure with some right fittings, it's doable.

Re: Hose Conversion Problem - Coleman 16' x 48" and Best Choice Products Pump/Sand Fi Coleman uses the same fittings as the intex, thus could've went with intex sand filter.

They're made by BESTWAY, not intex. But, the fittings are the same as intex. The print on the liner looks good, something different for once.

I've used just a tarp for 3 years. New setup/tarp each year and works out perfect, no smell/tear. I'm going to try it on some paver patio this year and see how it goes.

Thanks, it'll be round and centered.

Redoing the backyard this year. It's 20' square paver pad for the pool, which is better. With the center drain no leveling issue for the outer rim, just slight slope ~1.5" towards the center. No drain setup will require a 3" slope for drainage. Which setup should I go with?

I'm on the same boat, got an estimate today. He said standard 4" should be fine, due to even spread of the load. I'm going to wait a week before the pool install, I'm putting up a 18' as well. I think it's 1/4" first 4' from the house and then 1/8" then after.

I've seen that pool at costco for $599 w/sandfilter month ago. I've opted for this one http://www.toysrus.com/graphics/product_images/pTRU1-18206747enh-z6.jpg for this year. I had a 20% off coupon w/free shipping = $431. t does not come with filter or ladder though.

sorry wrong thread.

Here's my 14' setup from last year.

Thank you all, it seems to be sold out on amazon already. Good thing I bought it when I saw it, I think this thread made it sell out :) After 2 intex ultra's rusting so bad, I thought to give this a try and junk it after the season if it rust also. I was thinking bestway was a oem maker for...

Seen some great deals on amazon. I've gonee through few intex's, they rust too much for one season. Least these are at a good price $215 for 15'x48", practically thow away after one season price.
