I used a flat sided garbage can to scoop out water. A steel mixing bowl also worked fine but wasn't as efficient

Well I give up then. :roll: if they're upside down when they look normal to me and upside down when I rotate them 180 and re save them, I'm out of ideas. :idea:

Strange that they're showing upside down for others but normal to me. Tell me if this one shows up right.. I rotated it (upside down as I see it).

Ahhh. That's what you meant by Australia. They show right side up for me.

Next chance I get I'll write down the model number stamped on the side. We bought ours from target as well. Thank you about the plumbing. I was going to go down then back up with the returns but it just seemed like a waste since it was right there next to the pump. My skimmer and new intake...

There seems to be a redesign this year where they added the loops and call for the legs to be outside the strap. I wonder if putting them on the inside (of the redesigned version) will either stretch or over strain that strap. It's hard to tell in the picture, but the legs barely touch the...

One more as it only let me post three

Here are a few pics. The intake plumbing will be hidden under the mulch. There is one ball valve upside down due to salvaging the part. Nothing is glued yet; that's why the fountain is strapped and low. Oh, I added a second intake. This second hole was below the water line. Lesson: don't...

Ok that was easy and painless. Ill post pictures later but the skimmer install was a snap. There was no distortion at all when cutting the hole. I'm plumbing it all back together now (essentially from scratch as my intakes and outlets are changing positions) will post a separate thread later...

Thank you. I'm going to try it like you, without installing the skimmer prior to cutting. I've read several reports of people doing it that way with the round pools without the hole distorting. The one I saw that did distort was a rectangular pool. I'll do a horizontal test cut to check for...

My skimmer arrived yesterday and I'm planning on installing it this weekend. My dilemma is this... I want to use the butterfly gasket as intended, however I'm worried that if I just cut a hole by tracing the pattern, the geometry of that hole will change due to the weight of the water pulling...

Oh wow is that pump powerful! I hope this picture shows up! That's a one inch jet of water shooting 16 feet! (Our youngest is too short to stand up if we have the water above the return, so that's why it's airborne). Luckily I can turn it down by partially closing a ball valve for right now...

Thank you! The filter being too small threw me somewhat. At the design flow rate it would turn over my water in under three hours. Should I focus more on the filter area? Regarding the pump, I am wondering if it is possible to split the flow prior to the filter (to a set of fountains) and...

My pool is an intex 16'x48'' (~5000gal) ultra frame. I picked up a Hayward S116T sand filter (1.4 sq/ft, 30gpm design flow rate) and Hayward SP1593 Power-Flo Matrix 1.5hp pump off craigslist for $125. they're both in great shape, the pump looks new. original owner upgraded pools and got all new...
