Anybody Have an Easy Set Pool?

Ok I got one last year but never put it up. I lost some of the directions and just got done filling it. How full is it supposed to be? It's a little on a slope. There's about 2 inches difference from the highest and lowest points. I thought at the highest point the water should be ok until it is completely to the inflated ring but someone told me to stop at the seam below the ring(1-2 difference) so we stopped there. I can still pull it up and there's 1-2 inches left of space before the inflated ring.

You should fill it to the bottom of the ring but I have to warn you it should not be on a slope. if the water on the one end gets splashed over hard enough the whole pool is gonna collapse.

I was thinking the same thing. The area where you set it up should be completely flat.

we have the big big one and its on a slight slope and my boy and his friends get in there and act like total idiots and its still standing.
When we had that storm the other day our trampoline ended up in our backyard but the pool didnt move.

We have one and I like ours. Ours is sitting in like a dip in the yard (the yard is full of them) and every once in a while the water will break down the side and let a little out but its never much.

Oh and we learned a hard lesson last year. We went to WV for a few days last summer and left the pool uncovered and the pump off. Well we came home to algea starting in the pool. We didn't did get it all out and over the winter it just got worse. We had to drain ours and clean every inch by hand. I do not want to ever do that again. LOL

I need to get a new pool cover and I seen some solar panel covers at Walmart on a Thursday and went back on Sundy and they were all gone! They said they should be getting some more in, so I've been keeping an eye out for one.

Anyway, I hope you like yours and have as much out of it as we have ours.

Thanks everybody. I filled it the rest of the way. Everything is fine so far. What do you use to even it out more. Sand? It's a pool for adults and the deepest dip and biggest bump are about 2 inches apart so I'm hoping it won't collapse.
