That didn't happen to my pool. The first one worked for about 3 weeks and they sent me another. That one did not work at all and when called and asked for a replacement for the second one I got no response. This product does not work I wasted my money.

I bought a 12' pool cover a few years ago and was a sea blue color. A light blue color.

On the outside of the pool near the bottom, there is a valve. The valve has threads and you should be about to connect a garden hose to it and run the garden hose to the proper area where you want the drainage to flow. If your daughter lives within city limits, she may need to check city ordinance to see where the approve of draining the water. Hope that helps!

Make sure the ground is level. Clear the area of any small rocks, sticks, or roots. We have used the provided tarp, sand, and old solar pool covers for under the pool, and all were fine. Very little else to worry about. The video is easier to follow than the printed instructions.

Yes, level out with sand. The sand also helps bottom of pool getting damage from twigs, rock, and what ever might be in grass. It will also help in getting creases out when filling up.

Our Butterfly pool had a drain but that was 2 years ago. The model may have changed so I would query the manufacturer...to be sure.

You should try to have it as level as humanly possible! If it isn't the pool will not fill correctly, the top ring will not set right and it tends to get mildew buildup where it is uneven.

You have to use sand. Our pool is also about 6 inches below our deck. We used sand and have never had a problem.

There is a drain plug at the bottom of the pool. I usually have someone get into the pool and open the flap inside the pool while I open (unscrew) it from the outside. I also try to find something to keep the flap open inside the pool so it can continue to drain. (try to find something that won't rip the liner). I hope this helps.

the underneath did turn a little and just needed to be washed. It would depend on the quality of your water. Mine turned brownish but came right off as soon as I scrubbed it.

Yes, the instructions state that the bottom of the ladder must sit on the floor of the pool. It is recommended to put a ladder mat underneath the area that the ladder will rest (as not to damage the liner).

No. My pool has an average amount of dirt at the bottom. I use it daily. And I only clean it weekly. My only complaint is that the cord tools around on itself.

Just to add to Matt M's comment.... instead of the rag, use the plastic service plugs that came with the pool to block the hole after removing the pump. You did keep those, right?

We took a level and set it all around on the ground where the pool was going. Any low spot we just filled with dirt. It wasn't perfect and the pool filled up fine. It's an inch off now that it's filled up but doesn't seem to affect the pool

maybe it is just the pool floor that is slippery or it is seated on a plastic part. try just to pull gently the cord to see if it moves. Always check if the gum crawlers turn, if not , that is the problem. It is supposed to move anyway

We out down sand but it really needs to be level. We even wet the sand down to get it settled and where we wanted it before putting the pool on the sand.

the area under the pool does need to be very level, I used sand on my first pool, but later took it out and poured a concrete slab to make it easier.
