As someone who has never had an above ground pool, I am wondering doesn’t draining it destroy your yard with the water and chemicals getting dumped all at once?
I’m more concerned about the mount and dismount. No ladder?
It’s 30" tall. A ladder would be overkill.
if you want to use it for multiple seasons, you do not drain it below the filter intakes as fully draining it can cause the pool liner to shrink and become damaged. When draining you can connect a garden hose to the drain spout and let it drain out to the road, though the amount of chemicals in the water will not harm your yard. Some pool supply shops even sell attachments for your filter that connect it to a sprinkler so that you can use the filter to pump the water out faster and water your lawn with it.
8% 1 stars. Nope.
Does the second photo have the same lady in it twice?
Anyone know if you can add extended warranty?
30" tall is just high enough to be a pain to get in and out unless you are a 6’ tall person.
I used to have an in-ground pool with a sand filter, and we’d backwash the filter onto the lawn every few weeks. The lawn loved the extra water! The only “chemical” in a well balanced pool is chlorine, and it won’t be in high enough of a level to hurt vegetation. All the other chemicals you add to balance it make the water pure again, and don’t harm your yard in the quantities you put in it.
Sorry, no extended warranty.
We have a similar pool and all we use are chlorine tablets and occasionally some borax or baking soda. Other than that these pools are nice but kind of a pain to put up and take down. We take ours down every winter just so we don’t have a useless eye sore in our small urban yard. One thing to note about these is the pump is just barely sufficient. You’ll still be cleaning leaves and stuff out manually and if you get one of those vacuums that connect to the suction inlet it will barely function. I’ve wrestled with buying a pump for the next size up many times and probably will if this one ever dies. (dies again, the circuit breaker in the plug already died so I had to cut it off and replace it). We put ours on a timer so it turns on when we get home from work and turns off sometime in the night so we aren’t running during peak daytime hours.
PS: we use the Clorox test strips and app which makes things a little easier but they use it to push their own products. Like I said, baking soda chlorine tablets/bleach, and borax will probably be enough for you and they’re cheap. Just google what your pool needs and you’ll find help.
I should get this. @Williamdavi Wanna go half? We can hire the penguin to be the pool boy.
What will destroy your yard is the weight of the pool and lack of sunlight. You will be left with a circular dead patch of grass under your yard. I believe recommendations are to install the pool over a sand bed. 1) so you don’t have anything sharp to cut the liner 2) so you don’t have to use a trimmer near the edge of the pool.
Right. I used a bunch of sand and a level taped to a 2x4 to try and get it as level as possible. I think the manual says within an inch across the whole pool. Mine came with a ground cloth (tarp) too. Not sure if this one does.
I soooooo hope you did get it. 99 is not really a deal at all just normal price but to have it shipped right to you and not having to go look for one is worth it
Pass.
I’m not that desperate.
How desperate are you? What’s your minimum threshold?
Why?
So Pepper and Will know what they need to do to get you to take the job.
