This is our second season with our pool. I was looking for away to keep the inlet and outlet from leaking. Last year I used caulk which leaked and rusted the pool. Your use of plumbers putty is brilliant. Thank you for that.

When you drill through galvanized you will expose the steel underneath and that is where your rust will form and spread. I would mask off the hole area and spray it with some sort of rust preventative finish. Cold galvanizing spray (just like spray paint) is ideal for this. If you get any scratches that expose the steel it is a pretty close match to hot galvanizing dip so buying a can just to spray the holes you cut out isn’t a waste of money, you will have a can of touch up on hand ready to go.

Update your filter to a sand filter with the salt chlorinator…you’ll LOVE how much cleaner your water is and you won’t have to clean and replace a garbage filter cartridge 3xs a week anymore. 👍

I was thinking can you use salt in these metal pools? In any case keep your salt generator cell cleaned, will last much longer.

i believe conaire makes portable jets for like bathtubs this way you don't have to install holes into your pool, just an idea, but great video!!!

The jets just move water. They’re not a filtering system.

3:01 😮😮 idea to hide the connection make a flower pot out of wood and make it be hollow on two of the four sides. Then put in tropical plants. Something like a small palm tree.

Awesome. I appreciated you showing how much it cost first thing. My husband can definitely do this. ❤❤❤❤ thanks for video

Would you consider using a pool liner? They could be replaced annually, if necessary to avoid slime, but you're probably using Chlorine anyway. Great idea about the sand filter. I heard they can also be insulated.

Where did you get the grey steps from? Am looking to do this and a dog would need access in and out - until he gets big enough to jump by himself. Love your work!!

You could have flattened the scenes with a round 1/4 inch plate of steel and a flathead hammer I believe the seal would have worked better the first time around

What's the upkeep process on this?

Not much, similar to any above ground pool and even easier since it’s smaller.

So pretty great information.

I don’t know how to find your links items. But we need the strainer piece that didn’t come with the pump.

​@@macailea thats why you have rust problems. The salt water will rust the steel. If you're doing salt water, you may want to look into a different material for your pool otherwise, I'd just switch over to the chlorinated methods.

It's holding up great. I think the only thing I am going to differently on my next one is paint the inside with a sealant that was recommended by a few people. I had some small spot it started leaking I fixed but I think for longevity I'm going to take care of it with sealing the whole inside soon.
