Hai all,
I live in Curacao (carribean) and I bought an Intex pool 15' x 48'. We have tough grass over here, so in no time my pool bottom was filled with nice green grasses waving around!!! So I drained the pool, tried to patch the holes. But after 3 weeks most of the patches came off. There are far too many holes to try and patch them again. We moved the pool to an area were no grass is growing (stone underground). I cannot buy the layer which you have to put underneath over here, so I have to ship it from the US. Then I was looking for a liner replacement, an stumbled on this magnificent topic!!!
Oke, now I've red everything, I don't want to cut the new liner at all. The problem (as far as I understand it) is the suction part of the sand filter, it will not suck over the ridge. So here is my solution: I raise the level (and all the tubes to and from the pool) to a higher level, let's say about the level where the suction hole is. Might that work? I'm just not comfortable when it get's to cutting that hole in the pool! Or is the sand filter motor just not that strong enough to suck over the edge? Another question. Are the liner you bought round and fully flat? No seams at all? I hope someone is willing to answer my questions. Hope to hear from you!
