Here it is our first pool! And what a challenge it has been. We are finally able to enjoy it after a few weeks of work. First I had just set it up right on the ground, without leveling it off. So, when it filled up it was oval shared. We took it down, wasting 2800 gal. of water. Then it took about a week of work to get the sand from back in the field and level it out. Once that was done we filled it up again and it was round. Then, we noticed that the ground on the other side of the pump (in the above pic) was wet and not drying. We figured we would just let it go for a while so the kids could swim in it! Then we had a chemical problem and I put to much of one of the chemicals in and made it unsafe to swim in. Tina fixed that mistake and then the pump quit on us. So we had to buy a new on, the pump in the pic above it a better one then the pump that came with the pool. Just this past weekend on Father's Day we figured we would fix the leak we had. So we emptied it again, patched up the hole and filled it back up, and it still leaks; AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!
