above ground pool

Hello, I recently purchased an Ultra XTR 16x32x52" rectangular intex poo. I need a 6ft fence and my backyard has no fencing. I can put something on the pool. Are there any above ground pool fence options that work work with Intex? Thank you for any and all help! john

Hello, I am new to this forum and am hoping to get the opinion of folks who are more knowledgeable in pool installation and safety than we are. We assembled an Intex 32x16x52 pool this week. We did a lot of research before beginning, as we wanted to make sure we were doing things properly...

We just bought a Splash-a-round 30x18 above-ground pool for our back yard. It took me a while, but I finally got it completely set up. Here is a video showing the entire project, from beginning to end. The only things I really left out were the pump setup, the ladder build and the solar cover...

We just bought our pool and getting ready to run the electrical. The guys at the store specifically told me I need a 110v 20a twist lock GFCI connection. After realizing I have to run the GFCI protection at the box, I also realized I can’t find a 110v receptacle. The pump states it’s a 120v 20a...

Hi Guys! I'm new here :) We are in the very LONG process of building our inground pool so we bought a 16x48 vinyl intex pool for the summer. We put it up at the end of May and things have been great until last week. I will be honest, I have never owned any type of pool before so yes, I am a...

Hello! We had been given a 27’ x 54” deep AGP from my cousin. Set up was tedious but went well but now I’m having panic attacks! I am attaching pictures of our wall. The first pic is how the wall looked without water (and even with the first 5-10” in). The next pics are all what I woke up to...

New here. This is our fourth year with the pool, but this has been the most challenging year ever to get it clean and clear. We don't know what the heck is going on. I think we got behind on chlorine and are playing catch up. The pool has been cloudy with some green tint since opening it...

Hi. So we've set up our 15x48 Intex pool and were very diligent in leveling the ground. Once the pool was set up we went around with both a line level and an board with a regular level on top to confirm before filling and we were all set. Now that the pool is filled the water level is deeper on...

I have a 16’ round above ground pool. Went to drain the pool the other day (after no use for about a year) and it has algae or something stuck to the sides of the liner that doesn’t seem to come off with anything but scrubbing with a magic eraser. (Which would take days to scrub the whole thing)...

Hi all -- I've purchased a Hayward HeatPro 47,000 (HP50HA) that I plan to install myself [using a real electrician to run electric]. My question is: how far from the pool I can install it? Below is a poor visual that shows my situation. The pool pump is in rather plain sight between the pool...

Hi everyone. I’ve followed along for 5 years since buying a home with a 24’ round, salt water, above ground pool. I appreciate all of the help! We bought a replacement liner this year because we’ve had leaks the past two and could not repair the last one. When we removed the old liner, we found...

24 ft round above ground pool With a chlorinator at the discharge of sand filter. I purchased a house with a pool in November so the first time of operation for me has been the last week. Water line is roughly 1/4 of the skimmer opening. Recently I have been noticing slight backflow from my...

Hey y'all. I am new to this forum (first post hah!) and am having some ground leveled and putting up an above ground 16x48 round pool shortly. I know the pump it comes with is garbage (as the reviews state), so I wanted to know what is a good quality pump/filter to use for it that is not too...

Hi everyone, Which heat pump should I get for my 3000 gallons Bestway AGP? I am not sure if I need to worry about R32 (refrigerant) and DC inverter technology. - Raypak crosswind 33k, 44k, or 61k BTU - FibroPool FH120 Above Ground Heat Pump $1370 (120v will work with current outlet...

Hi all, I just wanted to thank you all in advance for all your help. I seemed to have found a great group. I'm installing a 22x12 bestway oval pool from costco. I hope to do this myself without hiring professionals. I'm on a budget :) A couple weeks ago I broke ground with a tiller on my...

Hello everyone, This is my first post and first pool adventure for kids. I am looking for rust prevention ideas for a metal frame Bestway pool (13' x 42" from Walmart). I noticed there were a couple of threads a few years ago on this topic. I am hoping to get updated recommendations. I plan to...

Good Morning, I was wondering if anyone was coating their above ground pool walls with anything prior to partially burying them. I received my HII resin-frame pool with steel walls and was looking for input on doing this. My soil is a clay-mix so the hole should retain it's shape without...

With the pandemic going on and summer almost here, I would like to get a 12 foot round above ground steel framed pool. Our house is on a steep hill and there is no flat land. We have a gravel stone (1 inch rocks) driveway that is mostly flat and wanted to know if there is any possible way to...

Last season my parents had me put up an above ground pool (12'x24' 9,000 gals). Unfortunately, the included pump/filter was entirely inadequate. I'd like to upgrade their current system, (0.5HP & 20 lb sand vessel) but with enough power to also run an auto vac on the filter side. I'm...

Hi all. As a former lifeguard, I always maintained the pool on site. But maintaining your own is a whole new world. Im looking forward to having a community to help me. And I look forward to helping all of you too. Bookmarking this site! Currently I am looking to place a fence on my pool: a 15...

Hello everyone! My wife Kim and I are new pool owners. We were gifted a Coleman 16’x48” used above ground pool last summer and we love it! Sadly with the NY winters not being very kind to us combined with our complete lack of knowledge of proper winterizing, we ran into a big issue. The pool...

So I have started getting the pool ready for the warm weather to come and I want to address the gap I currently have in between the retaining wall and the pool. It varies but averages about a foot from the pool and is 6 inches deep. The retaining wall was put up during the winter so I didn't...

Hello all! :geek: We just retired our Intex Ultra pool due to the frame rusting into 1,000 pieces and are looking for something more permanent. I installed a SWG in early spring and it didn't take it long to rust the pool apart. We couldn't keep up with the standard chlorine pool and the SWG...

Hi folks! We just got done with our first summer as above ground pool owners and had a great time with it! We are looking now to get a larger above ground pool with a better pump. Any recommendations on how to research it/what brands are the best? Thanks!

Hey Everyone - Thanks to everyone who takes time to read these and reply - I really appreciate it. Basically - I did not cover the entire perimeter of my pool with my styrofoam molding. A couple of small 3 - 4 inch areas along the perimeter of the pool have no molding, and no sand bank. First...

So I (finally) got my pool up today and started filling it. Not long after I realized, dang it - we really didn't do the best job with the overlap liner. There are lots of wrinkles and in some areas we did not pull the liner over the top very much at all. Is this a sound installation? Is it...

Hello, I stumbled upon a YouTube video about fiberglass above ground pool while searching for the above ground pool option for my sloped backyard. https://www.compasspools.com.au/above-ground-pools/ I searched on the internet, but it looks like they are only available in Australia...
