Just purchased my first Intex pool for pickup later today.
So in the meantime, what should I be planning for? I'm going to move forward with permitting it out, even though I had heavily considered not doing so. But that aside, I need to level the ground. Once I have that level, planning on laying the ground cloth that comes with the pool, and a tarp on top of that. Then planning on putting pavers under each leg of the pool. I live in Central Florida, and the soil is pretty much sand here, so I see no point in purchasing sand for leveling.
I've learned this from creeping the forums here, from post to post. However, something I am not seeing talked about is electrical. How do you all power your pumps? I don't see many posts about putting in outlets after leveling? I have no issue installing an outlet myself if that's necessary. Do most people just bury a drop cord or what? Does the pool come with anything for this purpose?
Also, any further tips to add to what I'm already doing?
Thanks! Looking forward to being a part of this community.
