Advice on Metal Frame Easy-set pool?

[1badrebel]

Lesson learned...if you go on vacation for a week turn the pump off, dont let it run. My fittings wiggled loose after running flawlessly for 2 months and I came home to a empty pool, pump still running, and a soggy yard. Costly when you have to truck in the water.

Clean it, Shock it, Cover it, Pray.

We never erected that pool again. I am now the proud owner of a 24' Doughboy Desert Spring. I love it.

Um, when I had my 15' EasySet, I spent the $30 or $40 bucks on an outdoor timer for the pump................

A burst or loose hose can happen. That's why my first choice is standard PVC with glued-one Sched 40 fittings. My second choice is TigerFlex with glued-on Sched 40 fittings.
