Leveling the ground for a new Intex pool

[dtjoseph95]

Ok I'll get everything tomorrow and start the fill. Is there one filter sand better then another?

I'll let someone else advise you about which sand filter but wondered....... what size pump do you have or have you not yet bought one? In the case of pool pumps, bigger is not better. You want a small pump paired with a larger sand filter for best filtration. Many AG pools have badly mismatched pumps and filters which is not good.

Ok now I feel silly...All I have is what came with the pool, is the sand filter not the pump also?

I used one bag of sand from Leslies, put it in first, then I found a local Home Depot that carries Quikcrete Pool Filter Sand. I topped my filter off with that. The pool store sand is much more uniform than Quickcrete. I've had no problems. Just be sure to backwash before you start to filter or you'll pump sand into the pool.
