Ok bought the pool! So glad this is done with! I bought it without the pump and filter and plan on getting the ones that were suggested on here.. One thing though.. I will have to get all the hoses and fittings.. Not a big deal.. Just need to figure out what I need.. Are the ones linked all of them?

Also, I get no plastic "pad" since I'm buying separate.. I liked those because they had outlines of where the filter, pump, and feeder system would go (even though I'm not going to be really using the feeder system - I did get it in the package and may use it when on vacation and what not)..

What do you guys do if you don't get that plastic pad? Do they sell those? They seemed to be pretty specific to pump/filter combo.

Thanks!
