Not sure it will trap any more moisture than the liner itself would. The intex pool actually came with a liner to put under the pool--of course that was supposed to go over sand and we used the foam. That crappy liner would also probably breath, although I don't know how much breathing happens...

The billboard tarp is actual billboard material--very heavy vinyl of some sort. The big billboards along highways/roads. The companies that install them also remove the old ones and sell them. They work great for tarps--very heavy mil, probably more than the pool liner. My billboard is from the...

I put the crappy blue tarp that came with the intex on top of the foam boards. I plan on using billboard tarp on top of the foam this time. Hope that is not a conflict of rubbing against the liner. I think it will be great. I have some really big peices of billboard I bought from a guy on...

We currently have an Intex Ultraframe 16x32. We just got an 18X34 Doughboy and are about to change over. My questions are about how to put the dense foam sheets from H.D. down. Should i run the peices up to the floor rails, or under them? Seems like under them would be best--that way it wouldn't...

Hello. We have a 16x32 intex ultraframe rectangular. The liner drops a couple of inches at each of the 4 corners, and water is constantly splashing over them when kids in the pool. If anyone has any advise on how to block the corners off, I would really appreciate it. It's always wet around the...

I read the Intex swg manual when I first set up--I bought the cya amount it recommended instead of reading pool school amount. The manual recommends 1ppm which equals 3.6 lbs if adding 360 pounds of salt, which I did. Not sure why my salt reading is so low, and unclear why intex recommends so...

I'm using the Tf-100 kit. Why is my cya showing so low after 8 days? Why is my salt showing so low?

Just set up intex 16x32 8 days ago. 14,500 gallons. I put the 3.6 lbs of cya in 2 different bags--1 in skimmer and other hanging in front of jet. Both were empty by next morning. Have in intex salt water generator. Added 360 lbs. of salt. Am running pump 12 hours day and salt generator 11 hours...

Just to give a follow up. We finally got the pool set up and filled yesterday. When the water finally got to the skimmer I went up to the pump area and there was water leaking from the lower pump joint where it attaches to the SWG---I was thrilled to just see water there! I hadn't even glued one...

Thank you all who have replied. I doubt most people know they can remove the intex "stuff" to put standarized other "stuff" on the pool.

We had to dig out about 16 inches deep to level pool area. Have about 15 inches along side of pool, then 4x posts and 2x8 boards as retaining wall. Backfilled with 1.5 inch gravel. No room for equipment inside retained area. The upper gravel backfilled area will have 6 inches of dirt/flower...

We are just installing an 16x32 intex ultra frame. Am planning on using the 2650 gph pump and separate intex swg. We are wanting to put the equipment by the house instead of next to the pool. (Could put it closer to pool but will work much better if up by house for power, backwash, fit.) It just...

So glad to hear of your success. Everything else has been so hard lately--I could use some good news for a change. Thanks

Not sure how the gasket material would help--the new thru wall fittings are already smaller than the original hole, and the gaskets that come with the new fitting already cover the hole and fit the new fitting perfectly since they are correct/original to the new fittings. Wouldn't want to make...

We are just putting up Intex ultra frame 16X32. I am wanting to hardplumb as we set it up. It doesn't come with a true skimmer, having only a large return and thru wall strainer. We are putting a Hayward skimmer and adding 2 regular Hayward eyeball return jets. I would like to replace both the...

Pool dug 4 inches too deep on one end? What should I do? We recently hired a bobcat driver to dig for an intex 16x32. Yard was unlevel--call it 2 foot--it is dug too deep towards the dug in side. I already dug post holes for retaining wall supports before we realized it was too deep. He already...

We haven't even set ours up yet so not familiar with how much movement the walls have? We actually like the way it covers the top edge--at least until we have problem or need to replace. Could be very tricky with full deck around. Seaspeed has so many examples of doing this type of full wrap...

Re: How to level 16X32 pool? Sounds like a good idea. I'll try it once we fix all the problems leading to the level process. Could take me 3-4 weeks of free time just to get there--raining now so getting nothing done on day off!

Re: How to level 16X32 pool? We are using a transit to set level points. My actual question is how to get the crushed concrete spread to level across such a large area. I don't have any previous experience with this type of work. I've seen people spreading with a board, but don't know how to do...

Thanks so much--I have figured it out now.

We are currently installing a 16x32 Intex ultraframe. We have been looking at websites for months getting ideas of pics and videos. (Absolutely love TFP-most helpful site on earth--sadly I have searched the whole thing) Recently we found an Israel pool site (no selling here--in fact I've emailed...

How to level 16X32 pool? We are in the process of installing an intex ultra frame 16X32. Having tons of problems, but that's on another post. Once the problems are corrected we will level the area using crushed concrete 3/8 or less, then put 1" foam on top. Plan on using 8x16 concrete pads...

Just bought an intex 16x32 ultra frame. Wife and I had done a general water level and thought we had a 9 inch dig. Budgeted accordingly. Only planned a 2x8 going along 3 sides part way with a little gravel backfill. Seemed reasonable since 9" down to nothing ain't much. She brought home a...

I can't figure out how to post a question/thread. I have read previous questions/answers, but can't find. Most recent question was from late 2013 saying to click board index, which I can't find? It is not below sponsorship. I'm using Firefox, but also tried Internet Explorer and can't find any...

I am so glad to hear of some wood framed pools. I would love to see some pics and details of how your pool was built. We are wanting to build a 16x32 to 20x40 in the next few weeks and could really use some insight--and eyesight about what you have done. There is so little else available. I am...
