Hi Guys
So i bought this pool at Makro
I need to buy a filter pump for it, but undecided which is suffice for the size and water capacity. Something not too cheap and not too expensive. Anyone can recommend in the price range of R500 to R2000 ramge. Simple and easy to maintain. Also do i need fitting adaptors from the pool side to the filter pump.
My grass looks like shadow_man's backyard. Will there be issues if i just use it as is.
Re PUMP:
If you're in CPT then you can buy the pump (cartridge) that came with my 4.57m x 1.07m Bestway Steel Pro Max, if you like.
Unused (still in box) as I haven't setup yet - and bought the Intex Krystal Sand Pump Filter model instead.
As for connectors - I doubt you need any fittings as the pump is for this specific brand (if you do then you can grab them from Takealot / Loot / Sportsman's).
Re GRASS:
You'll need to cut the grass (sod) out --> tamp the soil down --> add weed guard --> add some sand --> tamp that down --> confirm level --> place tarp --> pool.
If you just place on top of grass you run the risk of:
a) not being properly level, then the pool will lean and collapse
b) if it doesn't have a proper base, then any sharp object like stones will cut through your pool liner and end your pool time...
It's work and I was having paving done at the same time - so I'm getting the pavers to do it for me --> add artificial grass on top.
