How to set up a kiddie pool filter pump

In this video I show you how you can use a swimming pool filter pump to clean a kiddie pool. Emptying out the water in a kid's pool after every use is a pain, it's not always practical, and it wastes a lot of water. If you buy a cheap pool filter pump like those made by INTEX you can easily cycle the water in your inflatable pool through it, which filter the water and clean your kiddie pool. The trick is to flood the pump and hoses with water before you turn it on, otherwise there won't be any suction. If you have a kiddie pool on a balcony like me, be sure to check your balcony weight loading first, and keep the power cords out of the water. A swimming pool filter pool pump will only clean dust, dirt and other debris from your kiddie pool, so if you are going to keep the water in there all summer long, you will also need to add a little chlorine or Clorox. Be sure to calculate the amount of water in your inflatable pool and add the correct amount. And despite what the President says, don't consume disinfectant under any circumstances.

Thank you so much!! I just fiddled with my filter for an hour before watching this. Had it fixed and running in minutes. You’re a lifesaver!

THANK YOU MUCH❤❤❤ 🎉🎉🎉🎉! I was stumped for a bit and knew someone would have wanted the same thing with their kiddie pool and here you are saving us! I don’t know how many thanks I can give but you deserve it so much!

This was exactly the fix we needed! We were priming into the filter and getting no suction. My guy deemed the pump a scam and a 'pos'. Then I found you 😊 so thank you thank you thank you! Works like a charm now.

I been looking for a video about cleaning a kids pool, all I found was pumping Intex pool with pump holes. But this is exactly the information I needed. Thank you so much.

Big Mahalo to you Damian. I live in Hawaii and have a 10, 000 gallon above ground water catchment container. We do not have public water in my neighborhood. I bought an Intex C2500 and could not get it to work. I watched your video and had it working in 10 minutes. Mahalo again for your help.

Thanks! I really didn’t want to have to dump our pool out, we have a water ban and water isn’t cheap in my city either.

Thanks for the video - that's super useful to learn how to filter the kiddie pool!

Awesome! It works 😁👍🏻. Thank you.

Update: it worked for about... 20mn and then... Nothing.
I'm still struggling like crazy cause it does not suck even though I filled up the tubes with the pool's water.

But still, thank you for this video.
