Turn pump off then empty skimmer?

You won't regret it but add the speed/smart stir!!!

Good luck and keep us posted & send pics when you do it!!!

Any time you want just remove tablets, if wet put them in like a ziploc bag

1" is good imo

Yes, you will want to drain and level correctly before it gets dangerous there is lots of info on this site on how to set up, level etc... might look around at those for best methods

Let me send up the signals lol @Texas Splash @Jimrahbe @mknauss @Casey @Newdude

When I had above ground (ahh my old Intex lol), I used like pink insulation board that wouldn't collapse with the weight and pieced those together using gorilla tape. Held up like a champ. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: need help on final decision on which intex ultra frame p Personally, I spent more on leveling than I did my pool lol If you want a cost breakdown.. 1. Sod Cutter Rental 2. 2x4 (mine was 8ft long) 3. 4ft Level 4. Gorilla Tape (2 to 3 rolls) 5. 3/4" Foam insulation ($18 per sheet and I used...

Ok so hubby and I have been talking. We decided that next year we should consider getting a bigger pool :party: I have only had 2 Intex pools (one blow up and now the 14ft one) so bear that in mind :oops: Of course I have read tons on here over and over again.. but I still have NO IDEA...

Re: Rounding the Corner to a New Pool Build Well sounds like he is coming along marvelously! And don't worry about what he saw... We all have guardians somewhere ;) You will pull through and so will he :) keep plowing along ( because I know that is what it feels like ). Oh and he has more...

Nice! There are some posts here about gophers, moles etc.. Might want to research those. I didnt backfill so can't answer that one.. I just dug down to level .. I believe they call it "crusher run" or "2A modified" to use as a base .. Tamped with plate compactor. Great job so far... The...

Re: Rounding the Corner to a New Pool Build Good! You had me worried for a sec :) Get that started asap (I work in Human Resources) so they most likely will use all available Vacation/sick time first then kick in the short term. It will at least help in the interim :) He sounds like he is...

Mine are two pieces that unscrew .. Do yours come apart? I just had my intake screen completely stuck from someone not threading it correctly.. It wasn't pretty getting it off :/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So to put an end to my summer adventure :) this is how it currently looks and the enjoyment it gives .. Worth the hassle (even the liner cutting fiasco) Enjoy!! And many thanks to everyone here.. I could 't have done it without this place! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine was 2 pieces and just screws off but someone threaded it wrong and it was completely not budging. However, gave me the opportunity to fix the leaks by pulling it back out. We had to literally take a hammer to the screen and whack it. We finally got it back apart and I just screwed my...

I am so not having a good time lol Now I can't get the intake cover unscrewed so I can hook up the vac .. We have tried everything and that thing is apparently stuck on there ... Good grief... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah it is wrapped right... It is leaking from the bottom where I cut .. It isn't a ton so right now I am in the "good enough until winterizing" lol Of course the more I stare at it the more it will eat at me so I will end up doing again. I just cut the hole wrong and totally my fault *sigh*...

I drained it... Patched and tried again... Not as bad but still leaking some *sigh* and I have no idea what to do about it now .. I really should have left it alone lol It was the white thin teflon tape (plumber tape as my dad taught me) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Rounding the Corner to a New Pool Build Oh honey I got your back in my thoughts :) I am so glad to hear he is pulling through!!! If I could go level your pool for you right now I would :( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So tried to install the larger adapters. Had my son inside the pool with a bowl and I marked the outline. Began cutting the hole and my son sneezed pushing the bowl and inevitably where I was cutting. Made a nice slash. Ran around and found patches to cover it up and got those on :/ Now I am...

I put rubber mulch around mine :) I have 3 dogs and they haven't messed with the rubber mulch. You could put river rock around it :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
