I know this probably seems unnecessary to post, but I'll do it anyway since I learned the hard way--after you get everything all filled up and ready to go, make sure you start your pool up in backwash mode. This will eliminate filling your newly converted pool with sand. You can read more about my experience here http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthr...d-the-hard-way.......

but let me assure you that it was one of the worst feelings I've ever had as I watched my crystal clear pool turn into a mud pit literally before my eyes...
