A few years back bought a Coleman above ground 18' round x 48" deep pool. Last year was 1st year open. Followed directions on set up, but never took it down for winter (cost for permit to put it up every year is $100+ inspection).....it had 18 legs, vinyl liner with rail running through premade sections on pool liner........had issues which is why I'm here now to properly reopen it. Will take pics and post soon of pool.
The pump that came with it did not circulate with (worse) or without cartage in it (very little improvement). So I opted to get a salt water sand filter system which I have no idea about any of it yet as I got it at end of close of season. Once I get out to were they system is I'll take pics. I know that will be easier to help.im not sure how much sand or what media is better (filter balls),how much media is needed, if I never pea gravel and how much, salt type needed or how much of it I need, or even too keep salter water side of it, ECT .....help please. I don't have the system even hookup yet due below issue too.
When set up 1st year all was ok......untill end. The legs sank into ground few inches at least....but pool bottom never moved.
Now, this is where your help will come in I'm opening soon.........pool is half full of water so legs can't be moved until I empty it out completely. I'm thinking about getting patio pavers or similar blocks......dig depth of block level to ground, put sand layer over that, then tarp over that......placing legs on blocks....... would this work?
All of it has to be done in one day. The drain, dig, blocks, reset legs, relevel, fill, setup pump, and start opening.
