15'x42" intex. Stock pump with cartridge filter. Clean filter once a week. No vac, no skimmer. Just rake. Stays crystal clear. On 3rd season

I'm under contract on a home in Rio Rancho, NM...which has an above ground pool. My parents have had one for the last 10 years and it truly is a labor of love for the grand kiddos....looking through these videos and wondering if I have that same passion. 😬

Looks like I have a lot to learn! Thanks for the videos! Much appreciated for this first timer.

Great for the first time pool owner! I enjoy watching an learning from you!

Two years in a row trying to set up my above ground pool and I’m still stuck at trying to get somebody to show up to level my land. Hopefully third times a charm

you could probably keep your pool cleaner if you put some kind of boarder around your pool so people are not stepping right from the dirt into your pool.

I have Bestway 20’x12’ 48” deep but it came with a nice sand filter. So far for the past month it stays crystal clear. Brush and use a water jet vacuum on a pole that just squirts debris into a mesh bag but it’s great.

I think you might try to pay more attention to the landscape around the pool. If nothing else just some quality weed barrier. Try to keep as much dirt transfer from your feet to the inside of the pool. I haven’t done anything other than weed barrier around my pool and that helps a ton. The rest of my backyard is concrete and landscaped with grass. The area where our pool is located was a playground with bark once I removed all that stuff it was bare dirt so I covered it with barrier with plans to put synthetic grass next year but I’m already eyeballing a bigger Intex 12’x24’x52” 😂

Why not use chlorine tablets? Do you have a pool cover when it's not in use?

[enriqueurbieta]

Thank you! This is exactly the video I needed. We're setting up our first above ground pool this summer. It's all a little overwhelming, to be honest. There's so much to learn.

Link to the sand filter ?
An a link to the hose attachment.
An a link to the fitting to the one to the area where the water shoots back into pool.

Thanks

Thank you for the tips. I will build my 18-foot intex this month, and I am getting some extra stuff for the maintenance. So the filter and pump that comes with the pool won't even last me for this month?

[skokieIL]

Setup my first pool with a sand filter, why did i buy pools with the filters that need to be cleaned daily?! Great video, shoulda got the hayward instead of the intex hangover skimmer

We use our above ground pool as a Gladitorial Arena of sorts, used mostly for women's back yard Bikini Tickle Fighting and Weekend Oil Wrestling Events.
