Who has an Intex Ultra Frame 24' pool?

[Watermom]

Did you buy the pool locally? If so, do you think maybe the pool store would be willing to call another customer who previously bought this pool to see if they would mind if you drove over and took a look?

Good Idea but its a Wally World pool and their less help then Intex.
Thanks

its very hard to say for sure where they will end up at. I know that might be hard to understand, but untill you have the pool together then you will. the pool flex's alot, and with the flex the legs move. mine is pretty level, I think Im off 1" and that was from using a string level, get a laser level to level it up. you can find cheap one's on ebay for around $25. back to the legs, I did the same as you and wanted to set them on pads and did but after filling they slid almost all the way off in places, I used the 6x12 pads, so if I was doing it again, I would use the 12x12 pads and hope when the pool filled the legs would still be on the pads. to me that your best shot, some of my legs or stright, some lean a little in, some lean a little out, and if your standing on the outside of the pool when everybody is jumping and playing it will scare you to death how much this pool moves around, don't get me wrong. its been an awesome pool, I upgraded the filter to a sand dollar 1hp sand filter, which was the best thing I done, we are in our second year with this pool, next year we are going to upgrade to a 24'hardside above ground,
If I can help in anyway, let me know

Thanks a bunch. I can use 12" by 12" pads for sure.

How did you know what the diameter of the circle was where the pads land?
It says its 24' pool but that is probably not where the legs are.
Thank you

The way we done it was to level off a 24' dia spot, then put the pool together, then level all the legs, this is where the laser level will come in handy, your going to need a couple of guys to help you put it together, the last piece of top rail is a #$%@$#$ to get in, then you can put a little water in, maybe 2" then go back and level the legs. its a pain in you know where, but that is the best way I could figure it out, like I said the legs move they slid out as you add water, and when everyone i the pool they still move a little.

Thanks a bunch. I was thinking about laying out the top ring and marking where each pole would go based where the pole attaches to the top ring. Would you say the legs push out from verticle at the bottom or do they push in from verticle once water is in the pool?

Thanks a bunch.

They will push out generally since the top ring is your "fixed" point. I helped the mother-in-law set up one of these Wally 24" Intex pools. She too is on year 2 with a salt water system as the only upgrade from standard.

The pool top ring is a T-total B$%$# to put together as moose said above, so drink lots of beer before installing. We leveled the pool area using the string method also and were within about an 1". No pads were used because the ground is hard Mississippi red clay underneath. As moose said, the pool will move and shift as water is added, so plan accordingly.

I can measure the top ring diameter for you tonight after work if you would like? It will be late tonight though.
