    Thumbs up Re: New setup- driveway? 16x48 Ultra Intex / Saltwater

    Thanks for the replies. We measured the pitch of the parking pad and it was too steep for what we wanted to do. I spoke to a neighbor that had a big tractor about my predicament and he kindly came over and leveled a nice area in our orchard. It was about 4in too high on one side. We added about 1500lbs of sand over the top and little brick pavers under each foot. Filled the pool last night. The legs all popped outward with the swelling of the pool liner and we had to jack up the sides to move the brick over to the proper placement. All in all, it looks quite level and for the most part stable. I'm concerned about sand washing away and leaving us lop sided eventually... our soil is mostly clay with a little sand mixed in... great stuff for the most part, but will suck just about anything down into itself in a big rain storm.

    We hooked up the saltwater system and dumped a good 125lbs of salt in the pool. Going to get a test kit tomorrow and we'll see how it goes! Thanks for the help!!!
