hello all,
so my third ABG pool this year has sprung yet another leak in the seam......
the first one was my one from last yr. 15 by 4ft, water level is 42". i took super care of it and it looked great when i put it up this year. after about 2 days its seam ripped out towards the bottom....i went out and bought a brand new one, same size, filled it up, and about 3 days later it blew out the seam on the opposite side.....so i went back and exchanged that pool for the same model, filled it and i see today its leaking in a seam towards the bottom again but on a different side now....
i leveled my area and had a few problems last year with original new steel frame pool, however, i releveled this year, put down some new white foam(cheap stuff,was on a budget..) and then put down the same green carpet stuff i used last year.....i do also use some 1 by 6's that i sanded down the corners on, to put under the steel poles, so when it fills,it doesn't crush the cheap white foam i had to use.....i make sure as i'm filling to move them back so they dont touch the pool....its not leaking by those, it seems to just happen in the middle of the steel frame posts.
they seem to hold water for about 2 days then blow apart.....the pool guy that has been filling the pool($200,then $175, then $150) even said he really thought my set-up was nice. He and his bro cant believe what is happening to me..... the pool has been out of level, once it gets filled, but only by about 1/4" if that.....its not been unlevel in the same spot either....cuz after each fill then leak, i try to relevel it.....
all three seam rips are happening in different spots.....
why would this be happening if i'm not doing anything different than i did last year.....
fyi, my sig says "3 yr pool guy", my first year was an east set inflatable ring style....had no problems, just wanted something easier to clean at end of year when i emptied water out for winter.....so thats why i got the steel frame style last year.
i'm also loosing my behind in pool fills.....i live in boonies, so i have to have water brought in.....that was another 1st year oppsie,never use well water to fill a pool.....anyone ever have this issue and been able to get any money back from pool supply company????? its Intex.....
just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on to what may be happening to me????? i dont want to get another one of these pools and pay to have it filled and 3 days later it blow out again....should i take it back and upgrade to bigger? i dont have alot of cash for this and my area is limited to where i can put a pool.....heck by now i could of used the money spent for a down payment on a real underground pool, but i just dont have that much room.....so very frustrated rright now....
