    New pool setup with upgraded pump - My journey begins!

    I’ve been on here off and on asking a little bit, but now I am actually doing it and wanted to share. You can laugh or cry at what I’ve done, either one is ok. :) I started out looking at a $90 Summer waves 10ft pool at big lots but it has now turned into a $9k investment. I will give a...

    New pool setup with upgraded pump

    I'm installing an Intex sand filter pump today on my Coleman 22ft pool. I've actually just set the pool up, and I won't be using the filter system it came with. yesterday I was putting on pieces that came with the original pump in case I missed something (First-time pool owner). My pool has...

    Walmart Extended warranty worth it for Coleman pool?

    I'm getting a 22ft pool tomorrow, and the warranty seems reasonable. The 3 yr is $44, and 4 yr is $66. I read about liners tearing and so forth, but didn't know if the warranty would cover it. Seems $44 is a decent price to pay for a $500 pool to replace it. I'm adding an intex sand pump...

    How long does an intex SWG last?

    I'm still getting things lined up for my first pool purchase. Since I posted last we have decided to fence in the yard, so I will have more options for size. I'm thinking of an Intex Ultraframe 18x52. Someone I work with changed to a SWG for their above ground pool and they said it started to...

    New to pools - Need some advice please

    Hello there, I am new to this forum, and I'm (obviously) looking at above ground pools. :D My wife and I went to our local Big Lots fully prepared to get a summer wave 10x30" pool, but soon realized we needed to buy the cover, ladder, and a tarp for under it. Realizing the price and...
