Your video helped me so much with converting the skimmer and sand filter. The JB Weld was awesome. Thanks for taking the time out. We left it up over the winter and it held up beautifully.
I had an intex 14 x 36 ultra frame, lasted 6 years. Never a problem with it, it was unlevel about 2 or so inches, but the sides matched up directly across from each other. Left side water level matched right side water level and back and front matched. I had 8-11 year old kids (sometimes 6 of them at a time) jumping, splashing, diving, cartwheels, front flipping off the ladder into the water, the legs shook, the pool shook, lol, every year i thought "this is the year", but nope. Held up like a champ! Only got rid of it cause the liner was starting to fray and wear down. 6 years!!!!!! I left it up all year even through -45 degree temps and still filled great once summer came. This year we got the summer waves 15x42, we went to put it in the same spot but couldn't cause it was bigger than the old circle and we have a retention hill, would have been alot of work to keep there, plus it was 6 ft from the house. So we moved our trampoline to the other side and put the new pool there, a tiny bit of prep not alot and the deep side is 3 inches more water than the side across from it. I am not worried about. Plus now its 60 ft from the house, so thats my unlevel story. We did just put the 14x42 up 3 days ago and i am sure the ground will also shift, so we will see. I was so worried the first 2 years of my old pool, and now didnt know why i worried so much. It was a great pool. Hopefully we will have great times in this new one. They have already been going crazy in it while its been filling. Lol.
I'm so glad you've had such good luck with it, I've had nothing but bad luck with mine and its level too. Mine has collapsed twice going in not out, skimmer has leaked like a sift since the day I bought it, and the ladder is rusted within a month. I will never buy a walmart pool again and that's the 3rd one I've had.
I put up one of the "blue" versions(18x48) of this pool with the same original filter/skimmer. Ordering Intex 3000gph sand filter (28651EG ) from walmart. When I first put up the pool some of the legs (about 3 on one side and 3 on the opposite side) were located on sand that was used to fill in a low spot in the yard. After initial setup it was out of level maybe 2 inches. After filling overnight 2 of the legs on the low end had sunk into the sand and was at a slight inward angle from the top rail. One had enough pressure on it that the paint had started to crack. I took two 2x4s cut to length with a third as a cross brace on the bottom that a jack would push against. The 2 vertical 2x4s were placed on either side of the leg on the bottom of the "T" bracket. I jacked up each leg and placed 1x6 boards cut roughly into squares as needed to make the pool as close to level as possible without complete disassembly and ground leveling. So far, so good. The boards, having a larger area don't mash into the sand near as easy.
This is exactly what I was hoping to see/hear! We just set ours up today (same size as yours) and it’s off about an inch. You’ve put my worries at ease 🥰🇨🇦
Hi there. We have the exact same issue and this is our first time with an above ground pool. We filled the water half way to the skimmer but the inlet is completely submersed in water. Is this ok?
I just want to say thank you! we just bought a pool and even after spending hours of leveling it is still about 2" unlevel on one side. I have been so nervous I almost took it down after filling it for 5 hrs. I'll leave it up and try leveling again next year!
Claudia Magana it's what I did as well it took days trying and thought it was level then to re fill again and still not level my kids was like please mom can we just swim lol "fingers crossed" good luck!!
I have the same pool and mine is alittle unleveled as well I see you Upgraded the pump and filter system what kind did you get and where can I find it at
p.s. - This is what I ordered: Intex 120v Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump & Saltwater System CG-28675 with E.C.O. (Electrocatalytic Oxidatin) for Above Ground Pools.
I wish I'd seen this before I put my pool up. It wasn't to bad when I first started filling it but now that it's almost full it is dipping on one side and not the filter side. It has taken 3 days to fill and I'm half tempted to drain it and start again.
Thanks I have been doing research on summer waves in getting it from Wal-Mart for 194$ and I find a best way pool for 200$ but it dos not have the maintenance kit I'm so excited to get this
hi I had a question. the instruction were not very clear on the pump install. On the skimmer is the rubber seal of ring on the inside or the outside of the pool?
Lol so we just spent 4 days hacking away at stone hard ground leveling it and tonight we went out with the Laser, after dropping sand, and releveling" to fill the cracks & grooves and we are within like 1/2" on one side and I'm like omg no more hacking the ground what do I do. So lol this is totally helpful I shall sleep well tonight.
This make me happy. I just got this same one but 16x 48 and just filled it up just got it and found a leak at the bottom and not sure where it’s coming from so not sure how to do that or what to fix it with. Have u had this issue?
We had the same problem. You gotta bug the hell outta Intek but we eventually got a new liner. You have to send them a picture that you cut out a piece making the pool unusable.
Hi! Are any of your support posts angled in from the top rail? We have a couple that seem to be doing that and I can't straighten them, but the pool is not done filling so the top is still bowed. I'm not sure if it will move outward once it's done filling and the top rail expands - or if it will stay like this.
How much is it unlevel? We are going through hell trying to level the yard. We are tearing ups the grass, got a level and a 2x4, and this pool says u can't use sand under. What do we use then? Lol. We had a gradual slope in our yard. I'm sick of digging and we just started. How long did the Summer Waves last you? Oh I just heard u say that it was about 2 in off.
you can use sand but dont put the legs on the sand they will sink use some small pavers for the feet if you have to, then get a cheap tarp to put over the sand, it also adds a layer of liner protections from stones burried under the grass, id not let go more than 2 inches out of level. and put your pump on the "deeper end" if ya catch my drift so the suction for the skimmer still works.
Can you upload a video on how to install the vacuum machine? I am unable to install my own. And how to clean the pool it's the same one the polygroup elite
Thank god. I'm about halfway filled up with water and I can already tell mine is going to be unlevel slightly. So your kids and people play in it with no issues at all? Thanks!
I just took mine down 2 weeks ago before it was unlevel and I was so worried.. this week...I paid some landscapers to come level it, they said it's leveled! I was soooo happy..well Tonight I'm filling it, and I see again it's not totally leveled . I'm afraid the front end ( lower end) legs are NOT perfectly straight up and down and will lean a tad again.. I'm so upset. It's like the same thing happening again . But summer will be over here in Illinois soon and if I don't get this pool up and running NOW I never will. How do your legs look at your low end? Do they start to lean in a bit?
I got a 2100 intex sand filter, and ordered the intex hose adapters, but they won't fit. Does anyone know of any intex adapters that work with this pool?
kayakinboy1 I just upgraded to a sand filter and hooked it up using a rubber boot from home depot. the rubber boot is 1 and a quarter on one side and one and a half on the other side. I used the old hose that came with the pool on the return to the rubber boot and the new filter hose from filter to rubber boot. works great. tighten with hose clamps, they came with the boot.
I also have the Summer Waves 14'x42" pool (also really unlevel, of course). I'm having a dickens of a time keeping the water clear. Are you using the standard pump that came with your pool? I have ordered a salt and chlorine system set to replace my inadequate pool pump (SFX1000, submerged). I'm wondering if you also have this type of salt system setup and if so, did you have to buy any adapters, or any other equipment to convert this to a salt water system. What would I need to buy. I don't think I'll be purchasing any more Summer Waves brand pool - I've been searching all the internet for this name-brand pool and there's not many out there that tells me a whole lot about this pool and its equipment. Seems this brand uses a different skimmer pump (the hose return is on the side for discharge, rather than the bottom, like Intext etc. pools. Any information will be extremely helpful.
We only upgraded to a sand filter that i purchased at Walmart. I have a video on converting over. I have never used the salt pump, just dont want to deal with it. The sand filter works very very well. Keeps our pool very clean and its easy to use. check out my other pool videos and if you have any other questions ill try to answer them
I just installed an above ground pool today. It is pretty unlevel and the metal legs and joints are clearly bearing more than their fair share. But it seems stable and when I move the legs a bit it is not overly troublesome. One sside is probably 8 inches higher than the other. Should i take it down?
How can u keep it clean for kids when the pump went out ? Wal-Mart is hi ing me hell and customer service is too about replacing the pump when it stopped working 5 days after purchase. I have this same pool.
Mine is the same type of pool and size.mine is about maybe 5-6 in difference on one side. Everyone is telling me it will topple over now or bust the side out from the weight. Im scarred to finish filling it up.
Hello, I am setting up my Unlevel pool now! I had bought a 14x42 BestWay Steel Pro Pool, And right off the Back, I have noticed that as I was setting up the sand underneath It was all unlevel.. My question's are that as you were filling up your pool, did it start off level? Like one side filling up quicker than the other? Mine is doing that, and I just hope and Pray that it does not collapse or anything! I had to put some sand underneath to try my best to level it out, but it doesn't look like I did it correctly. . I wouldn't mind the unlevel look either, but I just hope it holds.. I am so nervous.. Yours looks so great! I think eventually we will upgrade as well, but in the mean time, I'm just a little worried..
this pool is a 14x42 as well. we didnt use any sand under ours, its just on the ground. As it was filling it did fill one side of the bottom first, like you could tell all the water was going to one side. it did get better but still about 2 inches off once filled. Goodluck!
That is great, Thank you for that information! I am relieved now, Thank you. I saw your other video on how to maintain your pool, and I saw that you had a bigger pump, Does yours come with sand filter pump? And I have one last question, Does the filter pumps need to be on everyday, even if we are not using the pool and if the pool is covered with a top tarp? I am very new to this pool set up, and I have two little boys, and I am the only one that maintaining it and making sure everything turns out great! :D Thank you for your reply as well. :)
our sand filter did not come with our pool. i bought it at walmart tho. i never use or top cover so im not sure if you can run the pump while its on or not? We turn our pump on at least 2 hours a day, if its rained or starting to look cloudy ill run it for 4 or a little more hours.
A 2x4 with a 4ft level attached to the outer end from where the pools center will sit worked great for me. My area was 6” out of level and we dug It out and leveled it in one day. Now it’s about 1/4 to 3/4” within level and is hardly noticeable. It was well worth the effort to have a level pool. J/s
I have the same pool but it’s a 16x48. It’s not that difficult to level the ground and can be done in one weekend. It’s well worth it to have it level. Mine was 6” out of level when we first set it up. We took it back down immediately and dug down the high end. Now it’s within 1/4 inch all the way around and looks so much better! J/s
Old Soul Maggie what part of, “mine was 6 inches out of level did you miss? Was it the 6 or the inches part? Yeah, 6” out of level is hardly a “flat” starting point and yours would be much easier to level than mine was. Stop being lazy and set it up right!!!
Old Soul Maggie 6 inches is not bad? I don’t think I’m the one on drugs here lady! 6” of dirt on one half of a 16’ pool is a lot of dirt to move and and pools like these can’t sit 6” out of level! Smh and you call me stupid. Lmao
Old Soul Maggie do you have any concept of what 6” out of level will do to a pool? Also do you have any idea how much it takes to shovel a half a foot down half the size of the pool through rock and clay? Yep, took me one weekend and it looks awesome.
Virginia Smith no it's not a good idea we did that with my pool and the thing broke we have a little floating thing in the pool now it works and it so cute bc it's shaped as a duck
I purchased the Coleman version of this pool from Walmart and we spent days leveling the ground, but once the pool was full one side the legs began to sink into the back fill. Would it help to put a paver under the legs to brace them or is the real concern the liner? Thanks, love the videos.
I have the same summer waves pool. We had a time getting it level enough. It’s been up for about a month and I’m noticing more movement in the top rail structure. Should I be worried?
I have this pool as well. Mine has been up for a year now and is not level. The pool should be safe to use if it under 3 inches off level. Did you put supports under the pool legs when you set it up?
Ive done alot of research. And called a pool company. They suggest no more than 2 inches unlevel. They are designed to take extra weight shifting in that case it becomes unlevel. And they also stated, never build UP to high points, take the ground to the lowest. The pool WILL settle.
Only problems is if the skimmer basket is on the side where the water is lower. If so then the pump will pull in air = burned out pump which is not cheap. And if you already had a pool in the same place for 3 years then installed a new pool in the same spot why not take the hour or two to level the surface. 🤔
I just filling mine and it’s about 3inches off. There won’t be kids splashing around or jumping in it. Mainly myself sunbathing and taking a dip. Hopefully it’ll be fine for 3 months
Your video helped me so much with converting the skimmer and sand filter. The JB Weld was awesome. Thanks for taking the time out. We left it up over the winter and it held up beautifully.

Front Back Left Right Matched up water levels? So how the hell was it out of level 2 inches?
Consider yourself blessed.🙏
Thank you! Your post has made me feel so much better!
I'm so glad you've had such good luck with it, I've had nothing but bad luck with mine and its level too.

Same here. Eased my concerns. It was around the same inches as yours. Almost identical lol
I put up one of the "blue" versions(18x48) of this pool with the same original filter/skimmer. Ordering Intex 3000gph sand filter (28651EG ) from walmart.

I’m thinking of getting this pool how long does it take to fill up and does the sum warm up the water
It looks like you have some sort of "clip on privacy screen". Can you tell me what it's called and where to find it?
I have the same pool and mine is alittle unleveled as well I see you Upgraded the pump and filter system what kind did you get and where can I find it at
How are do you store it in the winter??? You take yours down each winter?
I have the blue version same exact pump the ring that came with it leaks any tips
p.s. - This is what I ordered: Intex 120v Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump & Saltwater System CG-28675 with E.C.O. (Electrocatalytic Oxidatin) for Above Ground Pools.

How is the pool holding up?
do you find that on the high end the metal poles are are leaning outward because if the extra water weight?
hi I had a question. the instruction were not very clear on the pump install. On the skimmer is the rubber seal of ring on the inside or the outside of the pool?
inside
How is your unleveled pool holding up
How it is doing
Lol so we just spent 4 days hacking away at stone hard ground leveling it and tonight we went out with the Laser, after dropping sand, and releveling" to fill the cracks & grooves and we are within like 1/2" on one side and I'm like omg no more hacking the ground what do I do.

Is it okay?
Same ... 2nd attempt with leveling. Pool is now almost full ...sooo stressful. Not sure if I'm going to have to try for the 3rd time😒😭
2 of my poles sunk into the ground leaning forward a tad will it be ok?
did you have an issue? mine sunk a little and worry to mess around with it will make it worse- I have a 12-39 pool
i just bought a 330 gallon pool. its very small so i was wondering how important it would be to have it perfectly level...
I wouldnt worry if it were 1 2 or even 3 inches off.
How much is it unlevel? We are going through hell trying to level the yard. We are tearing ups the grass, got a level and a 2x4, and this pool says u can't use sand under. What do we use then? Lol.

You can actually leave that pool up during the winter :) i did no issue at all

Mine is like 4 inches
Did your pool last?
Did u take it down ?

Hi I have the same pool and I’m not sure if I should level the ground because it is 3 years old pls get back if you have an idea
Mine is the same type of pool and size.mine is about maybe 5-6 in difference on one side. Everyone is telling me it will topple over now or bust the side out from the weight. Im scarred to finish filling it up.
Well how did it go??
how did it do?
I’ve got the same problem right now. Did it survive?
what connector did u you for the skimmer to connect the hoses to the sand filter?
i have another video that shows that, check it out.

mine seems to be similar unlevel. but a couple of my legs seen to be leaning? do you see that at all with yours??
Some of our legs do look like they are leaning but if they dont seem to be under to much stress id just leave it.
+yeahdudewhat2 OK thank you very much
i leveled my ground and its still an inch off but im not worried i have a 15x48
I have the same pool but it’s a 16x48. It’s not that difficult to level the ground and can be done in one weekend. It’s well worth it to have it level. Mine was 6” out of level when we first set it up. We took it back down immediately and dug down the high end. Now it’s within 1/4 inch all the way around and looks so much better! J/s

Old Soul Maggie if you’re too damn fat and lazy to set it up right, then your fat ass doesn’t need to be in it, PERIOD!
Old Soul Maggie 6 inches is not bad? I don’t think I’m the one on drugs here lady! 6” of dirt on one half of a 16’ pool is a lot of dirt to move and and pools like these can’t sit 6” out of level! Smh and you call me stupid. Lmao
Old Soul Maggie do you have any concept of what 6” out of level will do to a pool? Also do you have any idea how much it takes to shovel a half a foot down half the size of the pool through rock and clay? Yep, took me one weekend and it looks awesome.

Virginia Smith no it's not a good idea we did that with my pool and the thing broke we have a little floating thing in the pool now it works and it so cute bc it's shaped as a duck
if i get one do i leave it in the pool when we are swimming or do i take it out
I purchased the Coleman version of this pool from Walmart and we spent days leveling the ground, but once the pool was full one side the legs began to sink into the back fill. Would it help to put a paver under the legs to brace them or is the real concern the liner? Thanks, love the videos.
We did and it really helps!
i did put pavers under our legs with a previous pool and it helped. ive seen many people do it online as well
yeahdudewhat2 OK thanks, we will give it a try. Now to figure out how to get them under the legs without draining all the water! Lol

I just bought the 14×36. And I'm having trouble on putting on the darn cover. Any good ideas
Definitely need two people to put that darn cover on. I cant do it by myself
Geez we were about to bring it down thinking it was the ground! Glad to see it wasn't just us
I have the same summer waves pool. We had a time getting it level enough. It’s been up for about a month and I’m noticing more movement in the top rail structure. Should I be worried?
I have this pool as well. Mine has been up for a year now and is not level. The pool should be safe to use if it under 3 inches off level. Did you put supports under the pool legs when you set it up?
Looks like mine
Fix a shaggy loose frame of one side and other side is tight
Only thing that bothers me is the winds and stickers out here in North West Kansas
Ive done alot of research. And called a pool company. They suggest no more than 2 inches unlevel. They are designed to take extra weight shifting in that case it becomes unlevel. And they also stated, never build UP to high points, take the ground to the lowest. The pool WILL settle.
I have this pool
It will mess it up and take away from the life of it when its heavier on one side
I have a 14x42 intex pool it’s 3 inches off.. is that ok, you think?
Angelica Wallace so is mine
Did it hold up for the summer while being 3 inches off?
@@samanthasweetzz5413did it hold?
Mine is way off & it scars me how can I level it off ??? I mean WAYYYYYYYYY OFF
Thanks I'm off a 1"and a 1/2. I won't worry, just enjoy.
So about a 3 inch difference on 1 side is fine
Thanks. Dad put ours up in the dark and it is about 8 inches higher on one end. Now we can swim for the rest of summer!
Mine is 5 Inches what happend with yours
@@drcorniel1 Ours did fine all summer being slightly unlevel. We are going to add some sand this year and try to get it level but it did ok.
@@FunwithJayandHarm how big was the unlevel?
@@drcorniel1 8"
Writer's Brick and Fun with Jay and Harm omg thanks I feel much better now mine it’s only 5 I will level next summer
Only problems is if the skimmer basket is on the side where the water is lower. If so then the pump will pull in air = burned out pump which is not cheap. And if you already had a pool in the same place for 3 years then installed a new pool in the same spot why not take the hour or two to level the surface. 🤔
My pool is unleved what do I do ?
Tilt your head the other way

You are giving false info about a pool being level. Just because you have been lucky this is not the way a pool should be built.
Nothing false about it. We have had 3 pools. All have been 5 inches un level never a problem. Actually nice a shallow and deep end.
@ty smith really? Cause mine is filling and looks to be about 3 and a half inches off level on one side
From the factory they say 2" unlevel is the max
I just filling mine and it’s about 3inches off. There won’t be kids splashing around or jumping in it. Mainly myself sunbathing and taking a dip. Hopefully it’ll be fine for 3 months
It just looks bad...........
