Old pool going down. New pool help

[bikerskid120]

Old pool is an Intex ultra frame pool 20x48.
it has lasted 8 years with me. And one year with original owner.

so it comes down tomorrow and gets re-homed.
now it’s time to upgrade to something more permanent.

Came across a Fanta Sea Island pool
12x24 rectangular pool.
aluminum admiral deck included.

but no manual. No installation book. Nothing.

help

Pictures lots and lots and lots of pictures!!!! To the point you are sick of taking but then take 10 mores! Baggies and a sharpie marker-lots of baggies Picture of where the hardware in the baggie came from with sharpie maker to write notes!

Liner is brand new in the box. No hardware sadly. So help

 

[kimkats]

Are you going to have to take it down to move it? That is when you will get the hardware and pics. is my thinking.

 

[bikerskid120]

It was already taken apart. My uncle said all the pieces were accounted for, exc hardware & pump.

 

[kimkats]

Well darn! There goes my idea So my next idea is to give www.inyopool.com a call and see if they have any input. They are very helpful for this kind of out there requests.

I found this

Instruction Manuals & Forms - PoolSupplies.com

www.poolsupplies.com

The 5th link downloads a pdf manual for all the models. Hopefully you can get enough out of it to figure yours out. Good luck and we want to ride along for the journey so post up them pics when the time comes !!

DUDE! Wonderful find!!! SCORE!

As for hardware make sure to get and use top of the line stainless. That is NOT an area to skimp on.

DUDE! Wonderful find!!! SCORE!

I know NOTHING about these pools besides seeing a few in the past. They are way unique so they stand out.

But I implore all lurkers reading this in the future to get involved and join up because it’s the perfect example. You don’t have to be an expert, or even close. It’s seems overwhelming to join the discussion with some experts but they are friendly and appreciate all angles of the problem at hand.

Go take a look at the 4 sides of your house. They are vastly different opinions yet ALL still looking at the same ‘problem’, just from different angles. The expert view may be the pretty one from the front yard but maybe your view is the overhead one of the leaking roof. You could hold the key and not even know.

Maybe you know nothing about pools but kick butt at Google.

Every bit helps and with each active member the collective hive gets smarter. Join the discussion and be part of the Party !!!

*apologies for the off topic rant bikerskid, but maybe we get another set of eyes on it and it helps.

I appreciate any suggestions. Yesterday evening, I took the Intex 20x48 down mostly by myself. Not too shabby

 

[kimkats]

It served you well!

Sadly, we did further inspection. The metal poles were cut, broken. No repair.
no pool for this South Carolina girl. Heartbroken.

What did you uncle have to say to this bad news? I have a huge sad for you

 

[bikerskid120]

somehow by some miracle. Prior to my father passing away, he managed to get this tetris puzzle put together

 

[kimkats]

SAY WHAT??? Man that looks awesome! Sorry to hear he passed but what a wonderful thing he did to help you remember him by!
