Thanks for the input guys. Couple questions if your don't mind.

1. Is the Diameter of the pool once it is filled really 24'? Is that from outside of Rail to outside of Rail? This is a critical measurement for me I cannot locate. Help is appreciated.

2. I was thinking of getting a sand filter and pump but didn't really want to put $700.00 into one. Any suggestions or experiences here?

Thanks alot for the help.
