Hi Forum readers, I started to level back yard and install our intex pool(14 foot with 14" sand filter 3/4 h/p motor, more than enough for what we need, it really keep pool clean, I don't know where to add this to my signature yet but I will figure it out) properly after finding this sight (TFP) and seeing so many of your wonderful ideas, hard plumbing, I would have never of thought that this was possible,adding a through wall skimmer, cool. For years now we put up and take down put up and take down, you get the picture. Anyway, we've been taking pictures and I hope to put our project from beginning to end here, My question is I have really sandy soil which I think is good, I'm building a box frame around pool 14'6", we are going to put a layer of pea gravel then clean sand, gorilla pad and hard foam insulation, is that over kill for an intex? any comment would appreciated. Thanks
