I’m so glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the kind words it means a lot!!

Nice review. My wife and I bought our house in 2013 and it already had a hard-side above-ground pool. It's crazy how much you learn along the way. You get smarter and more efficient about what you do with the maintenance. Good job passing on your tribal knowledge for others to learn. 👍🏻

If you have a long pool hose there is no need to buy a vacuum head or attach it to your pump. Simply start a suction on it by submerging it starting at one end and when the entire hose is full toss one end over the side to the ground. It will start suctioning and you just walk slowly around the pool holding the end at the bottom of the pool. Afterwards you will need to add a few inches of water to the pool.

You can use the original pump to attach a vacuum to if you need to conserve water.

Omg thank you for this. I have the sand filter. Did you buy new hoses if so which did you use? Last year mine kept popping off causing a mess. I thought the pump may be to powerful for the pool or i had the wrong hoses.

You’re so welcome that makes me really happy that it helped!! I did just use the hoses that originally came with the pool and the new pump. Only extra hoses I have gotten are the smaller ones because they dried and cracked. That’s no good if they keep coming off. You could get some metal clamps, just be careful not to over tighten. The plastic clamps are not very good. Sorry I’m not much more help!

Where did you get your return that put the water back into the pool with the eye that comestible I have a colon pool. I need one that would fit it.

I’m trying to understand, are you speaking about the plastic eyeball?

Do you keep your skimmer basket completely submerged or at water level? First year above ground pool owner here, bought second hand with no user manual so im entirely self-educating myself on the basics.

Hey Kelly, I know exactly how you feel! It takes awhile but once you figure it all out it'll be easy as anything. So the skimmer basket has an outer and an inner piece. You want the outer portion of the Intex style skimmer 3-4" below the water line so that the inner basket portion is floating up a bit at the surface of the water. It allows more suction and gives the skimmer the best chance of capturing, and pulling pieces down into it. I hope that helps. Enjoy your new pool! We love our's.

Where did you get the pool light??

I got the pool light off amazon, I love that thing and its still going strong! Pretty much have it lit up every night even if its just to look at it. This is it: amzn.to/43Pl6oL

The recharge cordless vac works great. I got mine for about 80$ and was one of the best investments., Much better than the conventional pool vacuum., I dreaded breaking that thing out.

Man, I couldn't agree more. I never had any luck at all with the conventional vac. Sounds like you got a good deal!

how many 50 pound bags of sand?

It depends on what size filter/pump you get. For mine, I’ll take a look at the manual and let you know, can’t specifically remember off hand and I don’t want to tell you wrong.

How much pool essentials should you put in when filling?

@TheChapMX

Ай бұрын

Are you speaking about chemicals? It all depends on the quality and condition of the water you’re using to fill. When I filled mine the first time it was clear to start so I just kept chlorine pucks in it and it was good to go. You may need to shock it and adjust pH. I hope that helps.

It is not necessary to change or clean a cartridge daily. During normal use it may need cleaning or changing every couple of weeks.
