Thanks, I'm not considering an Intex type storable pool, but an inexpensive 52" tall steel sided AG. (12'x24'). I am planning to purchase an oversize (for this pool) filter and pump ( pump sized to filter, smaller than PS recommends) for two reasons: (1) I'd like to reuse mechanicals when I do get a larger pool and (2) I plan to heat this pool with solar panels on a second story roof and need to push the water through extra piping and up 25'.

My concern is with the pool itself.
