Had two hose in it right out of the box

I took my time to prepare the site where I was installing this pool, removing sod and leveling the ground within an inch, then filled any small low spots with masonry sand. Laid down 3/4" XPS foam on the leveled ground, and installed the pool on the foam. I was careful not to snag or otherwise nick the liner during installation. As it was filling, I cut out the foam under each leg and replaced with a 9" piece pressure-treated 1x6 board (slid right in, no additional digging required, as the 1x6 is the same thickness as the foam). I monitored the legs as the pool filled and adjusted them as needed (no major movement however, maybe 1/2" total lateral movement as the pool filled). Pool has been up for 3 days now, water line looks perfect, no leaks, no issues, couldn't be happier with it. Regarding the pump -- it's still early, but this pump is rated at 800GPH -- for a 2000 gallon pool this is more than enough capacity in theory. But as this is a cartridge filter, you must clean the cartridge every couple days and replace them every 2-3 weeks. Cartridges are cheap, but if you want any cartridge filter to work you will need to accept frequent rinsing and replacing of the cartridges. Otherwise flow rate will drop dramatically and you'll have water quality issues. Finally, be aware that to do this job properly, especially if the location you plan to install is not flat and level already, will require a lot of labor and time, or heavy equipment. I opted for a shovel and my time -- took me over a week working each evening, 95% of total setup time was site prep.

Don’t NOT buy. Our pool was half full and was leaking in 6 places 🤬 super upset.

Leaked at the seams before it was filled
