couldn't you just block one of the "outlets"(suction port) or valve one of them off ,just for vacuuming purposes.Did they perchance provide you with a t'd adapter(2 into 1) for vacuuming? Think Large sink stopper,rubber kind.Off white color,sometimes comes with small chain attached.

There is nothing wrong with an overlap liner (as long as it's of good quality).It just requires a bit more finesse and adjustment when installing. I don't have any experience with this particular pool so I can't say how long it will last.I was just giving you some reasons why it was so cheaply...

See if this helps. http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/27911-Custom-PVC-Pipe-Adapter-for-Intex-Pools http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/58841-Create-intex-adapters-Step-by-step-Lots-of-embedded-photos

One reason it's 12' in dia.(two adults w/their arms outstretched and touching could easily cover the entire dia. of this pool) It also uses a 1" top rail,very small uprights,an overlap liner and small ladder.All those things help reduce the cost of the overall cost of the pool.I have no...

Sure you'll have to wait a few days.

If you got a good deal on the assemblies or just used the nozzles I think you could do an install similar to mine for around $100.00 give or take.To me,my pool is a toy and toys don't have to make sense.:p

Don't mind the mess. I used a 2.5" holesaw for the hole in the deck for the deck jet assembly.(very snug fit,didn't want deckjet assembly moving)a 2 9/16" holesaw would work well also.I use a dual stream nozzle. I used 1" pvc pipe and J hangers w/ a valve to turn jets on or off.(valve has...

Try this http://www.deckjets.com/buy.php both brass and plastic nozzles and complete assemblies.Just putting another option out there.

I'll be with in 40 min. of your general area sometime next week.Why stop at 1 I have 2 I think you should go for at least 4. They are easier to install than you think. Maybe I'll take pics,once you see how it's done it's a piece of cake.

Why do you need a second pump? I only have 1 pump,it runs the pool and both deck jets just fine.Your project just got a whole lot cheaper. like this

This weather is great for gardening/landscaping,not so much for swimming.(only got to 79 today,water is 81) Last weekend was awesome water got up to 85.

Todays temp.(Central Ohio),even with a few storms it's been 78-82 last couple weeks.

Half way up the skimmer or a little higher is fine,as long as your weir (small door in skimmer) still functions correctly.(keeps debris in the skimmer)

steveg_nh's pool is the new Sharkline Barracuda series,only for those serious about relaxation.:p It's a partial bury. I've got natural 57's (basically river rock)with plastic edging around my pool,sorry I don't have a pic at the moment.Although it looks similar to this pool.

Kids were swimming when I got home,reminds me why I got a pool.(part of the reason) 70 degree water doesn't seem to stop their fun.

Have you looked outside lately? The liner used to be yours.:D Thank you Casey.

Welcome, your water is fixable. Now might be a good time to fix your uneven pool,before pool season kicks into high gear. Stick around here and you won't need a pool store.Do yourself a favor get a good FAS-DPD test kit.(they are worth every penny)

Snapped a quick pic. tonight. I know the water is low,a certain inquisitive 10yr old learned how to start her 1st siphon. Guess thats why we have hoses.:p Sorry it's so dark it's kinda rainy today.

Good call Zea,the F.D. here used to charge a Donation to fill pools.

When I did my deck lag bolts were not allowed.I had to use galvanized through bolts 1/2" in dia. w/ galvanized washers and nuts. Basically the rest is just like your pic. I had the option of notching the posts but I didn't have to.Also pay attention to how far your bld.dept. will allow you to...

Do you own a sump pump or transfer pump?Intex pool pump? Use one of those to transfer the water from the intex to your new pool. Don't give up, we're rooting for you.

I'm not sure who 1st suggested using a bath mat as a pad under your pool ladder.Thank you who ever you are.I've used a bath mat under my ladder the last 2 seasons and it's worked out great. The mat doesn't curl up or float around.(the kind with suction cups on the bottom)

Glad to be of service.Good luck on the search.

The pic you posted looks like it might have been Lumi-o's beachhead model steps. They no longer make them. http://www.lumi-o.com/index.php?content=stairs_8&lang=en-CA

Fine kpromero:p try these (made by Lumi-o in Canada) http://www.lumi-o.com/index.php?content=stairs_2&lang=en-CA

Looks like a "Royal Step" or "Royal entrance"

Good luck.

As mentioned above these work pretty well.$10-$15 for 2 @ Lowes,home depot,ACE http://images.lowes.com/product/converted/038753/038753334011lg.jpg (plumbing test plug) Just find the correct size for your skimmer hole and your return hole. Just put them in and snug up the wing nut,no need to...
