Very nice, Banks! What's your water temp right now? I notice you have a solar cover on it already. We just had some good rain come through which probably cooled ours down a little, though that's not saying a lot here in Texas. But we'll be putting the solar cover on soon so we can keep our temp higher and swim longer.

Very nice! I wish we'd put our equipment away from the pool like you've done! That grass is so beautiful that it looks like astro-turf!
Go here for the steps..... http://www.poolsupplyworld.com/spasupplies/spasteps/durasport/products/SS90040.htm

Re: To Bury or Not to Bury an Above Ground Pool! DO IT!
Good looking doughboys! Finished mine a few months ago, of course when are we ever finished?

I insulated walls and floor with r-max styro board. Without the solar cover temp hovers at 84f. With the cover it would get to 94f. Swimming through Oct should be no problem.

Nice setup! I love the rocks around the pool. Do all those trees wreak havoc on keeping your pool clean?

Big tree is a live oak, so far not too bad. Another tree just out of frame is AZ ash, which drops its seeds all summer and fall. B/c of it I skim net the surface about 5min each swim. But today, gusty north eastern blew in and really knocked everything out of the tree and into the pool. Maybe 15min of skimming. I really appreciate the shade and wildlife the trees provide for a little bit of extra cleaning effort.
This is just what I was looking for! Great info here. We just paid a visit to Crown Pools this morning to get prices on an above ground pool with 2' countersunk install and complete buried install. Cherie, we live out in Rowlett, so we're practically neighbors. Your pool and deck turned out beautiful. Sounds like most of you had no regrets with a full or partial buried install. What a great forum this is. Thanks for all the help! :-D
What's involved in moving the pump and filter away from the buried above ground pool and over toward the house? I would like to do that on my install.
Thanks
Thanks
Is it going to be above water level? If so you'll need an inground pump for self priming.
It will be at or a little below. 22" of the pool will be above ground. Does that make sense?
