Still determined to get it going lol. So I went in and cut some 3 inch circles to patch a couple tiny holes that stood out. I let it fill a bit overnight and come out and walked around the pool and same stubborn leak. So I look in the pool and I can see my patches have little tiny air bubbles on...

It's odd that I ever had this experience. My last couple pools have been so un-level that you could ride the rails like a roller coaster. But mine has always been on regular ground and not concrete slabs. Maybe the ground is more forgiving. Plus usually it's not completely un-level to one side...

Not long ago I bought a used pump and the lid was missing completely. These are easy to get from Amazon and fairly cheap. Mine cost $14 for my Hayward pump. And yes I am talking about the skimmer/strainer that is attached to the pump. If you can get a model number of the pump, it would be easier...

Since it's at the top, there isn't a great deal of pressure compared to a bottom rip. I tore a 3 inch tear at the bottom of mine. I didn't trust just a normal patch for 15,000 gallons of water pressure. I bought a roll of 4ft x 2ft 27 mil clear vinyl. I then did 3 layers on each side. Starting...

Wow what a superb idea. I can't believe this actually worked. At the rate I am going, I may be going this route myself. Thanks a ton for the idea.

I was so hoping my next post on this would have been "Success". Unfortunately that's not the case. I filled the pool about 1/8 of the way and went out to survey it. Just as I was making the circle complete, I found a leak at one spot. Granted this is much better then it was before, but still...

Whenever I refer to the durability of an Ultra Frame I show this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvSvdTQyplE Let me see how this works out with an Easy Set pool lol.

I never thought of that 'Pv2'. But the job is done now so we shall see. This was definitely a hands on job that's for sure. I sat my rear down and started at one spot and just kept going in a circle until done. I started out nice and neat, but that lasted about 9.6 seconds! By the end I felt...

Yeah my reason for asking for a picture would be to see if it was seam related. These pools are pretty thick! I don't think they are really getting "pinholes" but rather the vinyl has cracked in that spot. But hey, what do I know lol.

This is more of a safety issue then anything. Let's just look at this for a second. 'The ground-fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI, is a fast-acting circuit breaker designed to shut off electric power in the event of a ground-fault within as little as 1/40 of a second. It works by comparing...

Looks like I am all set to go out and tackle this seam leak. I am going to do the whole 22 foot bottom seam (3 stitches). I am going to try the vinyl cement rather then the caulk. It might take some time, but I guess that's what's left for me to do before trashing it. I'd like to think of...

I am also experiencing issues this year after my Intex 22x52 Ultra Frame pool has leaks at the bottom seam. http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/100268-Seam-leak-Intex-22-x-52-quot-Ultra-Frame-Swimming-Pool Seams I can understand, but being higher in just random spots on the other hand is a...

I have had the 16x48, 18x48, and currently have the Intex 22' x 52" Ultra Frame. I would agree with 'jblizzle' that it might not seem like much, but it really does make a big difference in the amount of water and room you gain. You are not only gaining 4 inchesfeet in diameter, but 4 inches in...

This is my third year with my Intex 22' x 52" Ultra Frame. The first two years was fine and dandy. We moved to a new house so we took the pool down and stored it. Since we put it back up, it's been nothing but problems with leaking at the seam. I wish we had never had to take it down. I am not...

Well I spent a couple hours last night sealing this seam. As I was working with it, I realized that that lip is not really the seam itself. Rather it's the left over after the seam. The seam itself has 3 stitching and then that lip after the last stitch. I used my vinyl cement to glue that lip...

I have the identical pool. 22x54 Ultra Frame. Mine doesn't have the rope either and just that junk band that probably doesn't do squat but attempt to keep the poles somewhat aligned. Since I am setting mine up again this week, I might do as 'DarrelB' suggested and get a 30 foot ratchet strap or...

I am still curious as to where the feet are for the posts. I've seen hundreds of pics of these pools in all sizes and styles and they have always had feet. Perhaps someone took them off after bulge to prevent it from popping it. But I would think the plastic feet would be better touching the...

Personally I would go larger filter and more GPH pump. I've never heard of "too much" when it comes to filtering and circulation.

That's pretty strange looking. Where are the feet for the posts?

Here you can see the durability of the Ultra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYq6MgSgnFQ

I just purchased these but have not had a chance to try them yet. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004TN6EEU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 I have the 22x54 round pool and the pump that came with it sucks. I don't think any of the Intex pumps are worth $10. I have the Intex...

gtty, That is so sweet. I was hoping someone else had success with this. I spent 2 weeks doing a 6 layer patch (3 each side) on a 3 inch tear I did pulling it up on a trailer. So after 2 weeks of doing that patch, I was a bit disappointed with the seam leak. I am starting to feel that by the...

Hello my friends at TFP :) I am resetting up my pool this year. Well things are not going quite as planned. I got about 1/2 way and can see some water on the ground outside the pool in a few different spots. At first I didn't think much of it, but after a day I can see quite a bit more water on...

I would agree about the hazards of jacking up the posts. I have the 22x52 round. I would have suggested filling 1/8 - 1/4 of the way and then moving them into place. I know mine have moved on their own while filling the water up. Now I have had success in jacking up the posts while completely...

Thanks for those shots "Beens". Though I was having a bit of a problem seeing the exact hole size. I fear that it might catch leaves and twigs but not those nasty acorns. I see a few questions on Amazon, but still leaves me hanging. Q: How big are the holes in this cover? A: It is a mesh...

I also have the Intex 22' x 52" Ultra Frame Swimming Pool using the two Intex 2500 GPH cartridge filters and the Krystal Clear salt system. While it was better then the year before with just one filter and no salt system, I still don't think it was quite up to par. I believe these Intex...
