I'm new to the forum...and apparently newer than I thought when it comes to pools. (haha) After skimming through the forum, I had no idea as to the depth and wealth of info posted on here!
Like the thread title states...I am slowly progressing with our above ground pools. I do them pretty much just for my kids (6, 10, 15). My wife and I will jump in occasionally when it's really hot out, but for the most part the kids live in there all summer!
I think it started with a plastic, molded 'above ground' when the kids were little little. Obviously, it didn't take long for them to outgrow that.
The next one was an Intex rectangle inflatable that was a little bigger...
they didn't care about the size or water level or anything. They just wanted to be in it and splash around.
Fast forward to 2 years ago we bought the 15x48 Intex...and they love it!
I installed the salt water system last year, and now the sand filter will be installed this year. So we'll see how that goes after I get it all plumbed up.
I am looking into a solar heater of some sort now. The backyard gets shade around mid afternoon. I plan to cut some trees down to open it up for longer sun time, but I would like a heater hooked up as well.
