Will the pool lift out of the ground?

Inground Fiberglass Pools from Ocean Reef, Sun, Blue Hawaiia...
All pools are fitted with a Hydrostatic valve in the floor this balances the outside pressure against the inside pressure of the pool which prevents the pool from lifting. If the pool is installed to manufacturer's requirements as set out in the install manual, it would be very uncommon.

Why is there no ground lift on the J33?

Because the ground lift would disconnect the pin-1 on the XLR which in turn would shut off the phantom power. Also, the turntable needs a ground connection for quiet, hum-free operation.

How far can I sink an above ground pool into the ground?

Swimming Pool FAQ
Two to three feet is ideal.. Any more than that and you run a bigger risk of the pool caving in. You always want to make sure the water level is higher than the dirt. If the pool is to far into the ground and the ground around it gets to wet it could easily cave in. It is also a good idea to wait at least two years after the pool is installed before draining it. This give the dirt around it plenty of time to pack. Even then the pool should be drained and refilled in a day or two.

Where can I find replacement parts for my above ground pool?

Swimming Pool FAQ
There are times when a top rail or upright get damaged and the rest of the pool is still in good shape.

You could check with the manufacturers web site and see if they could be of any help.

If your pool is in-ground with the pool edge almost flush with the deck or above-ground with a raised deck with the pool edge almost flush with the deck), you'll want an in-ground lift.

Do I need a fence around my in-ground swimming pool?

Yes. As soon as there is any water being placed into the pool during the construction, a fence is needed around the pool.

What is the best type of landscaping for around my above ground pool?

above ground pools faq
Anything but grass. Grass will grow under the pool and up through the liner or up the wall between liner and pool, or up the inside of the uprights creating great habitat for bugs and wasps. I prefer some type of rock landscape and it is best to use plastic under it because the water splashing out of the pool makes any vegetation grow very quickly. Plants should only be container type plants. They are easy to move when changing liners and they don't grow roots under the pool.

Question: Should I lift loads if the truck is on uneven ground?

FAQ
Answer: All lifts should be made on level ground.

When lifting from the ground to the truck the operator should use the leveling system to assure a level lift while the crane is under load.

How is a KD pool different from metal wall above ground swimming pools?

KD FAQs: Nova Companies
When comparing a KD pool to metal wall above ground pools, there are many advantages. First, the KD pool is much easier to install than metal wall above ground pools and can be built on most surfaces. Therefore, grass does not have to be removed and replaced with a sand base like on metal wall pools. Also, the KD pools can be taken down yearly whereas a metal wall pool stays up year-round.

Where can I find instructions to help with an above ground swimming pool installation?

Above Ground Pool FAQ
If you know the pools manufacturer sometimes you can download instructions from their web site or ask them to mail you a set. I have never liked manufacturer instructions because they seem to leave out so much helpful information and the little diagrams are tough to follow. By early spring I hope to have my own set of generic instructions ready for their first downloads. They will be complete with real pictures of actual installations. Check back in March if you would be interested in these.

Can sand be used to level the ground at the pool site?

Intex | The World Leader in Pools and Inflatables
No; sand has a tendency to shift, therefore causing the pool to lean to one side and creating stress on the pool frame. The legs of the pool will also sink into the sand and the pool becomes unstable.
