Our pool has some wrinkles in the bottom, it is on a concrete slab. Will the wrinkles harm the liner? How do you set it up without wrinkles?

I don't know if the wrinkles can cause damage. To not have wrinkles, you must remove them before putting water in the pool. We have 1-2 inches of sand beneath ours and it was easier to remove them. We followed the directions, starting from center we moved them towards sides and I had plastic weights I put down to keep the bottom flat while it filled.

There is a thin sheet of foam included that you can moisten and put inside the liner. I have never used it, so I can't tell you how well it works.

If folded the wrinkles needs to be ironed or steamed out but because of the tie dye look of the back drop it doesn't look bad with a little wrinkling. We keep it folded and just take a hand held steamer to the large creases. They come out easy. It's a great back drop

Get another pool guy! My guy just folds it to one side, cleans the pool and then does the other side. He has never mentioned to me the need for more chemicals, algae concerns etc....

I use a little portable iron on a low setting with no steam. Then whatever wrinkles stay, I use my photo editing software, GIMP, to edit out the rest. After I got the wrinkles out initially, I started storing them tightly rolled around a dowel, and wrapped in plastic, in between shoots. That also cuts down on the dust, etc that they inevitably collect. I also keep a fabric roller ( they are cheap at a dollar store) with my studio, to roll over them just before shooting. That cuts down on the background issues. My only complaint about the studio is the lights don't seem quite bright enough. Happy shooting!

We just let ours lye on top of the water and it works just fine... We never tuck it in anywhere, ours if a 17 round and we just fold any excess under or over around the edges and let if kinda float... I have pulled it over the area where the retun water goes back in especially if the water is low so that the current does not put it across the pool, but that is only an issue if the water gets low... Hope that answers your question....

It comes with a tarp which doesn't extend much beyond the dimensions of the pool, so in order for it to be of help the pool needs to be placed very exactly. I would recommend that if you want more padding under the pool that you get a "happy pad," which will guard against sharp edges of stones and things like that.

From Clearlake California (I just responded to your question a few minutes ago). I do elevate the cover in the middle (I put a yoga ball on the center of the table so leaves, rain, etc.) doesn't pool on the flat surface. It is at a vacation home of mine, so sometimes it can be covered for months at a time.

We have a vinyl lined pool, and don't get a lot of algae, or perhaps the Zodiac takes care of it. From time to time if I don't run it or keep up with the chlorine I feel the bottom and sides of the pool are a bit slippery, and after a run it seems ok. I'd generally say it works fine on algae.

I had to look up the M.P.S.Spa. I think, I said think they would work fine on the exterior. Evidently you don't have a built in spa, no deck? If it sits on ground/earth, I'd suggest a wooden/cement platform to sit the plastic on. I'm not sure of top weight allowed, as there is no buffer of water. You certainly don't have to anchor it from floating. My best suggestion is to put a gate on it to prevent young children from going into it to tragedy. I'm very happy with these steps, in fact, just removed them from pool today, put away for winter. This is my first summer, they still look like new, no cracks or discoloration from sun. Good luck, Cathy

If you lay it out flat on the ground, you'll see some of the holes in some of the areas. Feed the string through the holes around the outside - not back and forth across. Then just kinda pull the cover over the pool. If you have two people it's easier. Once on the top of the pool, pull the strings tight and loop them under the corners. It's really and not very friendly design...

yes; as long as you have padding you should be fine. This pool doesn't move after the water is in it. Having a concrete base will help a lot on set up we love this.pool.

We have this pool for several years now and it has been very safe. The legs don't really move. Maybe shift VERY slightly every now and then, but they are not going anywhere. If you have very soft ground under your pool, like we did, you can do like us; We put wide boards under the legs to keep them from working their way into the ground (i.e. sinking.)

I had the same problem. Make sure to use the string because that is what holds the plastic down. I had to look at the picture a couple of times. The four corners are held down by the string going below the pool itself.

I took up the grass and put 10 bags of sand down and a tarp. I am adding sand this year. If your grass is soft just put it on a tarp. Lay on the grass area, what ever you feel will be the floor of the pool.

I think you need to have it hanging vertically, otherwise the water might drip out. Plus I think having it hanging helps release the wrinkles.
