Can you use the pool if you only want to fill water level to 38 inches or does it need to be filled to capacity?

I don't think it would work.it would hold the water okay, but when filed to capacity the side seem less likely to collapse.

Yes you can fill it partially but you will have excess pool side floating next to the inflatable ring.

I would think for safety reasons it would not be best to under fill. When the pool measurement says 15ft circumference, 48" high, the water is filled 6" lower to accomodate the air ring. Hope that helps.

As long as the ring is full of air it will hold any amount of water below the ring... Just make sure you don't feel the water above the bottom of the ring.. :-)

This pump works for you. You can keep it on the pool cover. When there is water over 1.25", the pump will automatically start to pump water out. Once water level lowers down to .25" the pump will stop.

You can use the pump and filter that comes with the salt water system. Or, if you wish, you can add the sand filter to the salt water system; however, that requires some familiarity with simple plumbing to do properly. As for how much sand is necessary for leveling the pool..that is a difficult question to answer since I don't know the grade of your yard. You have to use a transit level across the diameter of the pool to determine the grade first...then, you can estimate the amount of sand needed. If your area is already level, then no sand is necessary. Be aware that leveling the area using sand is not recommended. You can use the pump and filter that comes with the salt water system.

Yes you can. You will have to anchor the cord somewhere above the float ball to determine the height that you want to fill to. Dennis.

You first need to work out the capacity of your pool in gallons. First you need the cubic capacity of the pool. If you have a round pool, as per dimensions 15' Diameter x 3' Deep, the cubic capacity will be 7.5 x 7.5 x 3.142 x 3 = 530.21 cu ft. As there are 5 US gallons in 1cu. ft. the capacity of this size of pool is 2651 gallons. The next thing is how quickly would you want the pool to be recycled through the filter. A rule of thumb may be 3 hours or so. In this case a pump and filter need only be rated for 20 gpm (Allowing for friction losses). Check on your pump and filter gpm rating. Always make sure the filter is large enough to accommodate the pump capacity.

You will need around 500 lbs. to fill it, however we only put 300 and it does just fine for kids to play in. Just your preference.

Most of your time will be spent getting it level and checking it while it fills. I seem to recall within a couple hours maximum of putting it up and starting the hose at full blast, my kids were swimming in it each time. Sorry I couldn't be more exact.

I filled it with about 6 inches of water, I think it was a little more than half full, my baby was about 12 months and I did not want it completely full. I have since given away the pool otherwise I would send you the measurements.

Since the base has a "plug" I fill mine with water. Also I drove a metal rod in the ground right next to it and used a zip-tie to secure together. Works out great. If you put this near a pool the water in the base should be enough.

The height of the pool is roughly 39 inches, and the water could be as deep as 30 inches.

I did not even use mine because it was way too thin for how deep and how much water mine held. I believe it depends on how deep it is....mine was 58 inches high....

It is an inflatable pool so no, you could not. Pool was nice, bought for my grand kids. The customer service was not. I could not fit mine in the space I wanted to and tried to return it. No go. I gave it away to a family with small children.

Pool edge/depth is 23" and fill line max is below that. Never filled much above half way-not sure sides could withstand the pressure. Seams are likely to split or fail as more pressure/water is used.

Up to a foot at the most. Therefore, when you are leveling the ground, simply add an extra foot all the way around. You want to check on the U shape feet often while filling up the water to make sure they do not move and make sure you place pavers under each one of them to keep them sturdy and so they do not sink into the ground when wet. This pool is awesome and the filter is amazing. The pool is so perfect for swimming laps; it's bigger than you even expect and so easy to set up; just takes plenty of time and patience.

As far as I know you can only fill it up with the electric pump. I don't remember seeing any manual way of filling it.

No, fill to about 3/4. In between the top two rings (those little indentations) is where we filled to. We're on our second year with new sand and a bigger pool - still a great little pump! Don't forget to indicate 'what goes where' with tape and writing when you take it down to store for the winter - this makes assembly super easy next time around!!

There is always going to be some water left in the pit roughly 4" inches. That is so the pump doesn't run itself dry. If you want to get the water level lower try adjusting the float position.
