try to get the vacuum that works with the garden hose they work ok for the small pools

the vacuum you are using is probably the best for the system you have. if you want a REAL pool vacuum, get a REAL pool. there is a reason that these are considered disposable pools. dont get me wrong, any way to cool off is great and these pools allow people this 'luxury' at a reasonable cost but they are assembled with low end, non standardized equipment that doesnt match with traditional pool equipment.

deal with it until you drain it you might do damage it might not be structurally sound this way

On top of the pump unit, is a large wheel-type screw. With the pump on, all the air must be purged from that pump in order for it to work properly. Every time you plug in the pump, you must press the red button on the plug. It's a saftey feature, otherwise you won't have any power.

check for any signs of water by hoses/pump....outside of pool on ground and leaks by under the inflatable ring outside...good luck!we had a neighbor or stray cat that would jump onto ring to drink!caught it after seeing "foot prints"....had to wait and catch it...but scared her with hose and patched pool...had teeny points from claws!

This should be easy ... a foot of water? I would suggest you are leaking out the bottom. do you have a mask and snorkel? Watch the bottom from a floating position ... you might find the hole ... there are underwater patch kits for this very purpose.

add soda ash to bring it down.

The Pool Tech

CHECK FOR A BLOCKAGE IN BETWEEN THE OUTLET AND THE PUMP MAY HAVE HAIR OR TRASH SIDE OF THE PUMP AS THERE IS A BUILT IN STRAINER THERE. ALSO CHECK YOUR PLUNGER VALVE AND SEE IF ITS CLEAR.

This blog has information about sinking an above ground pool. It is normally recommended that you do not sink the pool entirely into the ground becuase of pressure concerns and the risk of collapse. Generally, you leave 1-3 feet of the pool above the ground and install a deck or similar feature to make the pool appear to be in the ground. The type of pool liner that you have (expandable) is best for this practice, but it can be done with overlap or regular beaded liners also.

JOJO I FIND THAT THE SOAP YOU USE TO BLOW BUBBLES WITH WORKS THE BEST, BLOW THE RING UP REAL GOOD, AND GO SLOW. I HAVE USED CELLOPHANE TAPE TO FIX LEAKS ON MY WATERBED

If your bottom is streched out well It should fill quite even. I would continue to fill and see.

It is a pump, only motors are measured in Horsepower. I would expect the HP of this above ground combined pump and filter is so low they would be embarrassed to state. It is measured in Gallons Per Hour flow rate. https://www.google.com/search?q=Intex+673R+pump+specs ..
