Should the solid silver part of the blanket be on the bottom, directly on the surface of the pool, when you roll it out? The clear bubbles on top?

I had the same question. I checked with two pool supply companies that sell the thiner blue blankets, and was told the bubble side goes down so that they can transfer the heat into the water. You can also run your pump with the blanket on, which circulates the warmer water on the surface. It can raise the temperature a great deal if you leave it on during the day when the pool is not in use.

sorry I missed this, I never got a question from Amazon before, bubbles on bottom, and make sure its dry and covered on the off season, mine died after 3 years

The solid silver part (flat side) should be on top and the bubbles should face down.

Yes, on the bottom of the pool, won't drain that way. Let the air out of the tubes, its easier.

I have an above ground pool and the bottom middle is not much deeper than the sides, so I do not have that problem. My husband does move it occasionally to help it out.

Just buy the chlorine tabs and chlorine holder that floats in the pool. You can adjust the bottom for more or less, and you just let it float around, no worries!

I have never had this problem. I would follow Dave's advice since the directions do say you should keep the hose stretched out straight when not in use. We just run the hose along the side of the pool. We only curl up the hose when we are having guests and need to put it out of sight.

Thank you! My pool cover rests on top of the water, so I'm not sure if the dispenser will still move. I keep the cover on except when using the pool. Perhaps it's okay to have it stationary for awhile. Thanks for taking your time to answer.

We took a level and set it all around on the ground where the pool was going. Any low spot we just filled with dirt. It wasn't perfect and the pool filled up fine. It's an inch off now that it's filled up but doesn't seem to affect the pool

Hi, I inflate a large beach ball, throw it in the pool, then cover the whole thing with a big blue tarp. I weigh the edges of the tarp down and it works great.

Hi,Instructions recommend that the blanket be placed with the bottom connector on top. For me however one of the controllers did not work at all so I returned the blanket. I cannot validate if it is ok to flip it over.

I'm sorry, but this is my first season with my INTEX pool. I live in Central Florida, so I'll be using my pool for another 6 weeks or so. However, I do plan to empty the pool, leaving the ring inflated, then completely dry the inside. I'll fold it to the best of my ability and put it in the shed. It doesn't get that cold here, so it should be OK until Spring. Good luck with your pool!

The problem I have is the playing surface is warped. The rails remain level when I check them with the bubble level. I noticed that if I leave the pool table side down for a couple of weeks the playing surface changes form. Right now it's level at the edges but has a slight hump right in the middle. It's just the cheap material the surface is made of, it would have been so much better if they had just spent an extra $20 on the surface board and maybe a little better material securing the air hockey fan.

This will be our 3rd summer with the pool and we have left it up year round. The first year, we drained it, and last year we didn't. I have had no issues with the exterior walls even with the unexpected snow and ice we had this winter in Louisiana!

We have this pool for several years now and it has been very safe. The legs don't really move. Maybe shift VERY slightly every now and then, but they are not going anywhere. If you have very soft ground under your pool, like we did, you can do like us; We put wide boards under the legs to keep them from working their way into the ground (i.e. sinking.)

Do you mean in the bottom pool portion? If so, I've no idea. The water stays on constantly at a low rate to provide the slip for the slide.

I put it on the walls (gorilla tape to hold it up at the very top) on a 24' circular. I also cut it to fit on the bottom and gorilla taped the seams, and then I put a gorilla pad on top of it. I have heard that it doesn't really help on the bottom but I had it left over so figured I might as well. The bottom is pretty cushy to the touch compared to other pools that I've been in.

Sounds similar to my yard. I've experimented a bit with placement and found that placing it on a gentle slope with the back (slide end) downhill and the front (pool end) uphill is best. Placing it this way allows for more water to collect in the pool which adds to the fun. Doing it the opposite way makes the slides a bit faster, but the water drains out the front lip quicker and results in a shallower pool. So, if the slope is truly slight, you'll be fine; or, in my opinion, a bit better off.

I Installed the unit before I opened the pool from winter. We had a lot of snow and ice this winter so it had pushed water out when it thawed. The water was just below my return line. I don't think you would want to change this with water in the pool. The water will get behind the liner and may cause problems. I would recommend lowering the water below the return line. Other than that it was a piece of cake. My kids love it for swimming after dark. Highly recommend but haven't had for very long so time will tell on durability!!!
