KZread recommended this video because I was looking a pool a while ago. I clicked on it because it looked like that big one Costco sells, and I wanted to see the scale of it. As I started watching, the area around your house felt familiar. I clicked forward to the sand delivery and I said hold up, that is my old neighborhood and we lived in that corner house past the green one! Small world!

Good job on the install. We did a smaller 9x18 version. You are correct in the ground prep. When they say level ground, they mean 100% level. The pool will not hold up if its on uneven ground. I see you put plywood under the side supports, mine the plywood just sank into the ground from the weight put on those supports. The second year i laid a perimeter of 2x6 for the rails to sit on and that supported them much better. We live in WI so the pool had to come down every year. Each year after, it took about two hours to put back up, super fast. Pool lasted 8 years, best $800 I ever spent. Two things people really should be aware of. If the pool breaks you are going to dump 18,000 gallons of chlorinated water. If the pool is close enough to buildings, that much water can take out a foundation wall. All vegetation will die and your neighbors can file a homeowners claim against you. On the 8th year our insurance company did a drive by of our home "who knew they did that" saw the pool and we received a notice that they would not cover any damage caused by the pool. Kids were out growing it though and we gave it it to friends who lived in out in the country and it lasted them another 4 years. Good memories.

Wow it is a big pool, smart idea on getting the pool sweeper. My question is how hard it is to keep the water crystal clear…

I like this bit: "I didn't charge my buddy.... he's my buddy."

Nice job there, like how you paid attention to detail and adapted to change along the way. Treating the cut edges of lumber, changing up from rock retainer, trying different sweeps...etc. Have one question though, maybe I missed it in video, ok if I put my pump/ filter on furthest side of pool from house? Or does it matter? Thankyou again

I put in my order for the mason sand but I wanted to know what breathable tarp did you get?

Nice video, and not meaning to be critical but I was wondering why you positioned the pool with the ladder all the way in the back and the filter workings facing the house.

I like the robot cleaner. It is not an all in one solution however, which I was hoping it would be. It cannot pick up tiny particles. So when it is done with a cycle, and everything settles back to the bottom, there are little piles of sediment. It's not much, but if you want it perfectly sparkling clear, you will have to manually vacuum it out.

The Intex zx300 is WAY better than the electric ones and it runs off the pressure side, so no suction priming. It's less than 100$ and is wall climing and self naviagting but 100% mechanical. When you get tired of charging your vaccum, check it out.

And once the cyanuric acid levels reached about 25 to 30, I would stop using the chlorine pucks and start using liquid chlorine.

You're gonna have to "eyeball" it - the base of the legs will move outward while filing, so they should start at the near end if your block/pad. Or you call pull the base of the legs tight on both sides and place the blocks based on where they end up.

We bought enough horse stall mats ($827 worth) to be the pool foundation/cushion instead of using sand so that seems it will be less of a hassle than leveling sand and we won't need to construct a border to keep the sand in place.
