This model doesn't include the Salt Water System. So if you don't buy the Salt Water System, you must add chlorine to the water.

This pool comes with the sand filter(which is the pump). Yes, you can use a saltwater system with the sand filter. If you want to use saltwater system, you have to purchase it separately.

Yes, absolutely. The saltwater system is compatible with any filtering system. They are separate units.

The filter is not a saltwater filter. (doesn't matter about the pool itself) we purchased a saltwater filter and it was the best decision we ever made.

answer 2

You can only bury this one partially is you leave enough room for the side supports. I wouldnt recomend this though because the instructions say to give at least five ft. of work space on all four sides of the pool and we found this to be very true. O and we received the pool in about two and a half weeks after we purchased it. By the way, great delivery service.

you need to put them under the legs, I have this pool and I used treated 1"x8" boards that I cut into 15" pieces and then used 2 next to each other to make a rough 15"x15" footing. It's working out just fine , but I think next year I will go with a large patio block instead. Also know that the filter needs to be on something solid as well

there are 6 braces on each side and 3 on each end. being 24 foot long you actually need at least 27 feet. the width is close

Outside of leg on the ground is about 2 extra feet over pool size,so you need almost 4' total side to side.

Question

Are you required to have a fence with this like in-ground pools?

I'm looking for an above-ground pool to put in the back of a mobile home located inside a mobile home park. They don't allow fences to be put up. I've noticed some above ground pools don't have fences around them for safety but have heard some bigger ones need to. Would this one need a fence or can I have without one.?

No fence needed. It is a very shallow pool! If you fill to the water line its only about a 1.5 ft- 2 ft deep.

How deep is the water when filled to the fill line?

How deep is the water when filled to the fill line?
One question asked was does it require a fence? Answer was NO because it is very shallow only about 24" deep. Surely this is a mistake. Why buy a 52" pool if it can only hold 24" of water.

Hi! I think it was a mistake too. I am 5'5" and this pool goes up to my chest, almost my neck. It is plenty deep to jump in, but would not reccomend to dive.
