Re: Fill'er up!!- Texas AGP (Intex)
Right!!?? Too bad I'm on mids right now, I get off late. Just trying to balance the water. When I tested this morning FC was .4....seems kinda low if that's right, water is clear (I realize it's just filled though) And Ph was 7.8. I'll keep plugging away at it and get it right. I need to get some dichlor.

lol
Get some stabilizer/conditioner a.k.a. CYA in there. Dichlor will work too. I prefer the powdered CYA myself.

Yeah, I'll see if Wal-Mart has any on the way home.

Re: 1st Week Update - Texas AGP (Intex)
A week in to having the pool up and everything is going smoothly!! The leveling is off a bit (Grr.... :grrrr: ) but minimal. I added 40lbs of pool salt and the water is delish! Testing daily with a Taylor 2006 and maintaining BBB, oh: 7.6, FC: 4-5, CYA: Not showing up yet. I must say the water is crystal clear. With the location near the tree, the water has maintained 82 degrees constant so far, getting morning shade and then late evening shade from the neighbor's side. Obviously, I expect that to increase with the progression of summer. I am completely satisfied with this pool.
Although I'm sure getting approved financing for an IG would be no issue, I can't justify it on this property. This AGP is the perfect compromise. And at 22', it's enough pool.
I must thank this site for all the available information!! What a treasure trove it has been, and has made this process not only easier, but a success! Thanks so much. Will try posting updated pics soon and as the project goes forward.....

Re: 1st Week Update - Texas AGP (Intex)
We're getting ready to put up our first pool, the same one you have. Did you put any pavers under the legs?

Re: 1st Week Update - Texas AGP (Intex)
Yes. Pavers were used. This thread should show my process from beginning on. I think the pavers can be seen in the photos.
Edit: Looking through the pics, I guess I didn't capture the pavers. But they're there.

Re: Texas AGP (Intex) - Will update
Why thank you! :grin:
So far, I have been happy with the end result. Water has stayed crystal clear the whole time. A few touches left to do!
Love this site, great info out there...

Re: Texas AGP (Intex) - Will update
AMAZING! Great job! After seeing your posts I think I WILL go with the styrofoam after all. Your pictures show me that, despite it being more work, maybe I should have done the leveling WITHOUT the heavy equipment... looks like it makes it easier to get a perfect circle this way and not make such a mess of the yard.
lol

Thank you! :grin:
All I can say is take your time. You've obviously spent a great deal of time and money already, and if you have the pool, make it right the first time. The ground can be corrected. Once the pool is up though, it's a different story. You got this...
