I have recently purchased a Muskin 18' round above ground pool from a friend; however, the instructions on the pool assembly can not be found. She didn't install the pool so she can't provide any advice on taking the pool down. I have searched the internet extensively for instructions with no avail. Can anyone tell me where I can find the instructions?

P. S. I have contacted the company but have not had any luck with them.

Hi, swlz,
Here is a link:
http://www.patiostore.com/Poolstore/Muskin/Muskin_Home.html

If you scroll to the bottom of the above page, there is a toll free number; with information available from Product Specialists, as well as Customer Service. The search engine said this website has parts for a Muskin pool. They might have instructions for them as well.
I just finished tearing down our 24 yrs old, 15 x 30, above ground swimming pool, hauling it off, (3 pickup loads) to the local dump.
It was so old, no one wanted it!
I do wish you the best, and good luck with finding some instructions. If you can't find the specific instructions for that particular pool, then any instructions for an 18 ft round pool would help you. They are basically the same.

There is a pdf on this page that is exaclty like the muskin manual:

Click on "Round Pool Assembly"

You have to email Zodiac pools to get the Muskin Owners Manual. Their email address is
Support (at) vogue (dot) zodiac (dot) com
Tell them what manual you need and your address, and you'll get the manual in a few weeks. That is what they will tell you when you call. It is most likely a Tradewinds model pool.
