2024 Full Setup Bestway 18x48 Pool from Sams Club  

I have an advice - change the sand for Polysphere filter balls (bestway). Its the best solution, much much stronger flow and its light. When you notice that the pressure on the filter is rising, just put the spheres in the washing machine and its good as new. No need for rinse or backwash.

Great video lots of valuable information!! Just wondering what size did you cut the composite decking to go under the pool legs?

Intex makes better quality hoses for the maximum output of the pump. You can hard plumb the pump.

I used patio pavers for the feet. I leveled all the pavers, used visqueen plastic for ground cover, the tarp included with the pool, and topped with a felt ground cover. Set up the frame and it was level, even though the ground underneath was lumpy as a sausage pizza! I used it for 2 summers with no issues.

Thank u I learned a lot😊

Use foam boards under it. Cut out for the paver to hold the post. 1.5 paver /1.5 foam board with waterproof tape.

I have seen another video where they were having the same issue with legs kicking out. They put a huge ratchet strap around the bottom of the legs to keep from getting worse until they could drain and fix

I have the same pool and I'm currently pumping the water out to start over. I need to rebalance and reset the legs.

That pump used to cost $96 in 2019. Those pumps are throwaways that’s why the company doesn’t have that many parts

Why were you able to cap off those inlets? Why did you not use them?
