Partially Burying a Doughboy Above Ground Pool w/ deep end (AGP Build)

[mbuice]

Good morning everyone!

I can now tell you that it was definitely a good idea to backwash first! The water that came out for the first 30 seconds was very brown and YUCKY!!! I then spent another 20 minutes with broom sweeping the debris into a corner, and with my net skimming the top. I know of a tree or two that are about to get a buzz cut!!! Honestly, I've never seen the pollen and such so bad here.

I'm about to leave to go get some bleach and CYA. I'm also trying to come up with a creative way to store my equipment (pole, brush, vacuum hose, net) so that it is accessible, but not in the way.

You never noticed the pollen cuz you didn't have such a big pool!

I just meant in general, like on our cars, and all of the cars around town.

The larger pool did make it seem like more too!

When the builders first began filling the pool did you happen to notice how they kept the liner in place as the deep end filled? I am debating whether to dig a deep end in our new install next month... thanks Your pool is beautiful, btw..

Hi Reeves!
They actually used jumbo sizes binder clips! They put a piece of cardboard between the liner and the binder clip. I've seen it done that way on other build threads too!
I'm so very glad we have a deep end, as are the kiddos. They finally couldn't take it anymore and hopped in yesterday, even though it was only 65 outside. Needless to say, they weren't in there very long!
