I have a 16 ft (4ft deep) inflatable pool. How should I set the water flow if I am going to be gone for a week?

I left mine at 3 openings just last week and the pool looked good when we returned home 5 days later.

For just a week you can leave it fully open and should be ok. I have a 20,000 gallon inground pool and keep my vents to full open and the tab still lasts close to or exactly a week (in Texas heat, too). hope this helps.

Hard to say honestly, that's more based on the amount of sunlight and environmental factors. In my experience the adjustment control doesn't stay put very well over time, so with this product it might not make a difference

I'm sorry, but this is my first season with my INTEX pool. I live in Central Florida, so I'll be using my pool for another 6 weeks or so. However, I do plan to empty the pool, leaving the ring inflated, then completely dry the inside. I'll fold it to the best of my ability and put it in the shed. It doesn't get that cold here, so it should be OK until Spring. Good luck with your pool!

Keep it @ 2/3, I find it keep it on the low side with the water at a good level. Change the heat setting according to the fabric after you feel you may need more ..,I suggest using it with a power strip to control the surging.

the directions you can set the water duration from 1 to 240 minutes. You can set the water frequency as every 6 hours, 12 hours, or from 1 to 7 days. Not sure if this will help you or not. I like the timer. We have them set up all over the property.

I've got a 18ftx4ft pool and it worked fine for me. I think these are all pretty standard sizes. I actually don't close off the water flow when I clean my filter though. I unscrew the top, take the filter out and let the water flow out the top until it's clear. The water in the housing will be largely unfiltered water anyway and tends to collect a lot of crud on the dirty side of the filter. When the water flowing out the top is clear, I put the top of the housing back in place and take the filter and clean it. Then I re-open the filter housing and put the filter back in. The water you loose this way isn't enough to really affect the pool level if you are reasonably careful. I've got a 18ftx4ft pool and it worked fine for me.

Best thing to do is level the ground 2 feet wider than the size of the pool - for the 16

Yes you run the pump as your normal schedule. It's not bad to take off, but without a reel you need two people to keep it orderly. But then what do you do with it? One friend of mine piles it up in layers at the end of his rather large indoor pool. Outside winds will catch it and blow it around once it's off the water. I found the reel a wonderful help.

This you have to move around on a pole my pool is only 4 ft deep . I would think for that depth you would need something different.

You could check a pool center, or as suggested inflatable ball, or we also use a regular bouncy ball [kids/adults have better control, and wind doesn't blow it away

I use a pressure gauge and pump the inflatable to the manufactures specification. I find that this is the best way. I don't loose very much air when disconnecting the pump providing you perform the operation quickly.

Before you use the pool, you remove the alarm. If installed correctly, (easy to follow instructions included) simply lift off the edge of pool and use magnetic key to touch the face of alarm to shut off. Then store the alarm as instructions state until time to install again. These are touchy if not installed correctly and in the right place of your pool. Follow the guide with instructions based on size and shape of your pool and you should be fine. windy days can cause alarm to go off. We tried 3 alarms before finding this one and by far, this one works best. Good luck

The dark blue ring on the top of the pool needs to be inflated. You could inflate without an air pump if you have a good set of lungs. A small air inflator such as the Soleaire SA-101P sold here on Amazon would work fine. I use an air compressor with the air pressure turned down low so the ring is not damaged due to over inflation.

Hi Allan O., thanks for your question, yes the inlet hose must be in the pool, pool cover and the outlet hose should be upward but not more then 10/15 feet, for example if you put this in your pool and the pump is at the bottom lets say 6ft down it will pump the water upward, the further deep you go the less pumping it will do and stress the motor more

The water flow should come from your pool's return valves. You if your pool if plumbed for a slide you should be fine.

The best way is to look for bubbles, inflate it as much as you can and then with a pool or river, or even the hose, look for air coming out. Hope this helps. Kendall in Maui

You can set this timer to water every 6 or 12 hrs - or - every 1 day, every 2 days, every 3 days.... etc...to every 7 days. You cannot set a beginning date and ending date of one, two or three months. Because you can set how long the water runs... like 5 min or 20 min and combined with every day, or every other day - etc. I have been successful in using it to maintain my pool water level without the expense of a pool filling device that uses a float. I hope this helps you with your question. :-)

Hi, Well you can blow it up yourself, it is a lot to blow into. We used my husbands air compression or you can get a small air pump at a local walmarts. Just make sure the nozzle will fit into the plugs on the cool.I orignally thought the drain plug was the air for hole, thank goodness Hubby set me straight. You have 3 on the outside of the pool, one for each layer. The big one on the bottom is the drain plug, which our lab puppy tried pulling out before the pool was totally filled up ;-)Hope this helps, Eve loves the pool.
