How do you install this on the bottom of your pool? I'm installing an above ground pool on concrete and I think I need this.

This foam won't work for that application. You need bigger sheets and thicker too. Gravity would hold them in place.

No it cannot be used for above ground pool. It has a base at the bottom that needs to be secured with anchour bolts.

I'm not understanding exactly what your question is but to clarify, I did not want mine just sitting on top the ground without being installed. Had a neighbor help me and we went ahead and permanently installed in concrete. VERY HAPPY with this product and have received many compliments from neighbors. any other questions please ask. And YOUR WELCOME! :)

Try this YouTube video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wdb2Zc-maMw ) which requires you to use a hole saw and open up the bottom of the skimmer. I used a Hayward inlet fitting with adapter and attached the hose to that with a hose clamp. Also, the pumps fittings are tapered and I opened them up to 1 1/2 inches by cutting at the next graduation, this allowed for better water flow. My base is pretty level so I am also able to use a Pentair Lil'Shark to clean the pool bottom. Hope this helped.

I would like to find an attachment as well. With my previous inground pool I had no problem but above ground is different.

Hi, I have an unground pool and the deck is called cool deck I think. Basically, it is a cement coating with texture and I have used concrete stain on it several times and can pressure wash it safely. I would recommend that you get some liquid chlorine at your neighborhood pool store and use a garden sprayer that you can pump and mix the chlorine with water- probably half-strength is sufficient. You can buy one of those pump sprayers at Lowe's that is made to use with chlorine for around $20. This is a great way to clean any concrete as well. I also recommend that you use the spray wand instead of the deck cleaning tool. This way you are able to control the pressure and spray pattern. The chlorine mix will do alot of the job for you and allow you to clean it with less chance of damaging the grout. Hope that helps! Tim

I would say probably not without a little enginuity. It is designed for an above ground pool. And I would try to find new screws for this too the ones that come with it suck. And I would use stainless steel screw s if you can find em

you need the water. Otherwise you just roll down. Also, the bottom of the pool in not padded at all so you want the water in there to soften the landing!

Good question, as I had the same concern (most seemed to be for in ground pools). I have an above-ground pool and this works great in it.

I think it would be a good idea to use something more thicker than a tarp under the pool if you are putting it on concrete.

I used a bungee cord (rubber) on each side to stabilize the ladder. The ladder was basically placed in between two vertical pool posts. I wrapped the bungee cord around the vertical pool frame post (top) and then hooked the two ends of the bungee cord to the stabilizer bar. Did the same thing on the other side so they sort of end up pulling against each other and stabilized the ladder. Worked really well. Hope this helps!

Have a pool that fits the run on ladder left up and pull down you also will have to release each individual section. Hope you understood and I explained it. I really like my ladder it is so Convenient!!!

None, if your ground is level. We set our pool right on the grass and it's perfect!

I had about two feet of tiles fall off. Before topping off the pool, I laid down on the concrete decking and leading over the edge I placed the tiles in place with a tile adhesive. The next day I filled in the spaces with the water proof grout. After two more days I topped off the pool.

I just used duct tape and it worked fine all season. Put down two layers on top our concrete patio. Only thing I'll change is to install the pool in our carport out of the sun. BTW, the material "aged" from outdoor exposure in south Louisiana and will need replacing for this season. Enjoy.. O^Ocrm

do you have a intex pool? if so you have to cut the bottom piece off and slide the 1/4/ inch pipe into you return on the pool use a clamp to hold it in place

Jake if you have room I would install it at the bottom of the sump by your main one due to the float switch that comes with this unit is timed to run so many seconds which basically is a full sump,that's by design.
