Does it need to be installed on a level surface? I have a concrete pad that has a bit of slope, will the pressure of the water push out the side?

It will do really good on your cement slab and glass and itll hold itself up once you get enough water in it but after you empty it a couple times to clean it thats when the walls start to push out and bend. And once the walls settle in a position they are that way for good. So if you have little kids that are not rough and keep it super clean to where you dont have to empty it a lot you will be good. It was awesome when we first got it but weve emptied it and cleaned it three times since we got it and now the walls are warped and we had to put a frame around it to get it to stay up.

mine has a minor slope so it is just a little fuller on one side the edges of the pool itself are pretty strong

It is better if you install it on a level surface. However, I have used on a slightly sloped area when I used it for my ducks. I had a small ramp so that they could climb in, swim and then climb out. If I were using it for human beings-kids, I would probably want it on a level surface.

I think it will be sloped as well, I don't recommended it. I had to return the pool, my concrete is not sloped and the 8' pool couldn't hold the water, the walls were not standing from the load of the water and it was leaking. I recommend the 6' pool.

Not really. It would not touch on level concrete, but soft ground, high brush, etc it will touch.

No , it needs to sit level on the ground , to keep the water from flowing non stop.

there is a drain plug on the bottom that works well. you may have to help by propping up the opposite corners when the water level gets low

instructions with scale say it needs to be on level surface and not carpet.

We have this item on a slant coming from the pipe on the wall. It has a universal compression fitting it comes with. Make sure the water is off to a just the head or it can come off.

Mine "looked level" on the back concrete patio, once water was added, you could tell it was a little unlevel, but it still worked perfectly fine. "Looks level" should be sufficient. No need for a professional level check. :)

There isn't a ridge. I have same issue as you so I put boards under the front corner and that helps contain the water. Hope that helps!

The pressure from your pump my be too strong. You don't want the water level to be higher than the filter pad . The water should be trickling out of the tube with the holes in it onto the filter pad. If the water is too high it will come out the airhole on the side of the filter. I hope this helps. Judy

The steps will not touch the side. We laid down a vinyl pad(advertised with the steps) for the steps to set on and it seems to be working great. I do not think that they will have any adverse effect on our liner. once installed, they do not move. Our pool is 36 x 18

I have mine on grass without staking. It might want to slide on concrete when empty winding up a long run of hose. If that is the case you would just have to place your hand on the top and put medium pressure to hold in place until it has enough hose (weight) was in it to not slide - maybe 25 foot of a 75 foot hose. The unit is the best one I have had. Enought to buy a second one.

We have a slight slope as well and it works fine. The slides are fine either way but the pool will not be an even depth. NOTE - if there isn't any water at the bottom of a slide it can be painful/dangerous to come down so be sure the slope is gradual enough that you have at least a little water everywhere.

There is always going to be some water left in the pit roughly 4" inches. That is so the pump doesn't run itself dry. If you want to get the water level lower try adjusting the float position.

We laid the tile first and then anchored this down through that to the concrete. Our closet flange also sat on top of the tile, not level with it. We had a plumber install the toilet though so I'm not sure on any of the other specifics.

No. the water level needs to be above the level of the top of the pump (as Pictured) for the float valve to trun on. I suggest a Sump.

The filter just sets on top of the concrete pad. We did anchor it down. Works great...less than half the price a local pool store...just a tip buy a replacement filter for future use...again less than half the price(the actual cartridge that filters the water).

Don't worry about the sides. You should worry about the water pressure. Make sure you control the water pressure using a pressure washer with a differentialswitch. I have. Honda with a 2500 psi force. I cleaned my main pipe perfectly. Also my backyard drain pipe. Becareful with under ground pipe since after using this device they won't be underground anymore.
