Installing Coleman 22 ft Power Steel Above Ground Pool

- Unboxing and installing our new Coleman 22 ft Power Steel Above Ground Pool! I was not planning on doing this today, but we didn't really think about the weather before we spread out the sand. There were a couple of bent pieces but nothing that we couldn't fix with some old fashioned homestead engineering.

We just got this exact same pool .. the day we bought it the Walmart associates were all like “you’re gonna need at least 4 adults to put it up” psssssh myself my 11 y/o and my 8 y/o daughters watched this video once went for it exactly how we seen it done and we literally just finished it lol this video was a big help cause we was lost in the beginning
WTG! That’s awesome!! Hope y’all enjoy it as much as we have.
@@HurricaneHomesteadthanks ! And how long did it take to fill it
It took about 5 days running the water a couple hours at a time. We’re on well water and didn’t want to run it dry.
This video was helpful my parents bought a 18x24 pool and these kinda of directions help a lot!
I can definitely tell you you're gonna need a better pump for that huge pool. I got the exact same one for my wife 18'. We leveled ours with sand, a ground cloth, tarp and used pavers for the legs to sit on. Its up and running perfect. I may post a video of mines later for anyone who may be interested on getting any advice.
Chris, at what point did you add the pavers? We're in the process, but the pool keeps slipping off of them 😩
@@85jmcmahon I added them once the ground was level and the pool was set-up without adding the water. I would suggest getting 2 x 6 pavers. The 2 x 4 pavers are kinda small. Adjust the legs as the pool is filling up to keep them straight and you should be fine.
@@KCU_Unfiltered thank you!!
Yes please
We have had a few these pools. I can’t believe it didn’t come with a ground cover. These are really cute. My last one lasted 10-12 years. Last summer we had a pool store install an above the ground pool. Mississippi summers are rough without a pool lol.
We are on our 4th or 5th pool in the last 8-9 years or so. We always had a ground cover and never used it. This new one we got I said let's put the ground cover first then the leveling sand and the darn thing didn't come with a ground cover this time. Oh well, started setting up this weekend and legs were already sinking, so drained it and going to install pavers under the legs like others. It drives us insane with those legs start sinking...no matter how much we level it. Crossing fingers for better luck with this one. You all are so helpful.
@@AGwen10 omg yes the legs sinking sucks . That makes it impossible to level. It’s pitiful they don’t include the ground cover anymore as much as the pool cost. I have bought tarps from Walmart or Harbor Freight also.
That’s the exact one I have and man I just got it because of quarantine, and yeah it took for ever to make it stand up because it was just me and my dad working on it
At least you had your supervisor there to help you lift on the truck. I didn't even get that.
It was quite comical trying to move that huge box.
Loved what you did with the instructions...lol.

Thanks all this video helped out alot!!
We have a 22 foot intex. My husband road the digger all week. We just can’t buy a home with flat land. Lol. Next a retaining wall. And deck. We had an 18 foot intex for years at our old house. Colman is basically the same. They are great pool. Enjoy it! Your dog it gorgeous! We have two Siberian huskies. One white one black and white. We have a homestead too. It’s the only way to live now days. Food supplies are running low in the cities. We have family in the cities and we looked for things for each other. I still need a bottle of alcohol. The shelves are empty at dollar general in paper supplies and things like alcohol. Red mead is starting to come back. I think it only for a time. Keep stocked up. Be careful, Leslye
We have the same issue with not having flat land. Trying to put a privacy fence up was the worst getting it level and following the ground...pain in the butt but managed to make it work and look good. Now the pool thing is driving us nuts. Hopefully with all the tips and and advice, we can get this pool to stay somewhat level this time around.
When I was a kid we had a Doughboy pool that we had to build. That was a lot of work! Your pool seemed like it went together pretty easily, and quick.
It was easier than I expected, but I think it was the magic of editing that made it look so quick. Ha Ha
Thank you for this video it’s been the only one I could find that’s recent and showed opening the box and the whole entire process. I’m putting mine up this week.
Thanks for watching! I'm sure you'll enjoy yours as much as we have ours!
RedOnMyHead buying it tomorrow how much did it cost for you
Level level level. Put pavers under the legs or they will sink
@@HurricaneHomestead ١
How long does it take to fill it up
We got the same as y'all just an 18' and we're prolly putting it up tomorrow if we have the site leveled, I just wanted to see how to assemble the actual pool
That’s my pool for the summer!
Not the same style though
This is the 2nd video I watched of yours. Thank God. (You're probably sick of seeing my comments at this point. LOL) We have had the same pool with the portholes and love the look of it, but we had to have them replace it 3x because the portholes were leaking, no matter what we did to prevent the leaks each time. They finally made one with the brown wicker without the portholes, so that is what we got now. Crossing our fingers for success this week with getting and keeping this thing leveled! Thanks for your videos and advice as I have been skimming through the comments as well.
Thanks for watching! Sorry you’ve not had much success with your pools. Ours has held up well with the exception of the pump. We replaced that last year with a new pump and sand filter. Looking forward to pool season again this year!
@@HurricaneHomestead what pump do y’all have now? Thanks for this informative video btw!!!
@@MrsDupree93 we installed a sand filter pump purchases on Amazon. We made a video about that too. Coleman Power Steel 22 x 52 Pool Sand Filter
ruclips.net/video/1wlhNdglGdc/видео.html
awesome I just bought the 20ft one, installing before summer and im kinda nervous, never done anything as big as a pool and I'm not a professional by any means
As you can probably tell we’re no professionals either. Best advice is to get your ground as level as possible before you start. It’s really hard to go back and fix that part. Good luck and enjoy your summer!
Las year 2019 I got this pool for $300
New this year we opened 2020 exact 22" it's big I got a different pump a bigger one on Amazon and I put extra glue on the Windows I saw so many negatives about the pool windows . I also put some brick on each leg to keep the pool lift up that will help with the water I got them on home depot $0.48 each this pool will fill up in 2 days
Its 1.5k rn thank god we got ours lst year
Thanks for the video, we just put up the same one this weekend, so how the heck do you get this pool cover on? Any tips? We tried covering it when the sun went down, but it doesn’t even seem to fit
Oh wow!! How funny....I was in the commercial for this pool, I had to assemble this too!! Enjoy it 🤙🏽

We have that pool but an 18ft. The pump is way to small. We have the intex sand pump, and they have an slimmer and a salt water pump and they work amazing. It keeps the pool from turning green. We also have and intex vacuum too that you hook up and it’s super easy to hook up. The skimmer is great to bc it gets all the bugs and things out and you don’t have to do it. It can also hook up a handheld vacuum to vacuum, but the other vacuum we have also does it itself
Thank you
You are most welcome!
I just took the pool out of the box to take it home in my Subaru.
😂 that’s some dedication! Enjoy!!
You guys are funny. Love the pool but I'd invest in a sand filter and larger pump. Use the extra filters till then. Great job!
My new idea put cup holders on side pool and towel holders on it yes
I have the same pool
Great video! We just bought the same pool. It’s still in the box. How many support posts are there and how far apart are they from each other? Thanks!
Shawn Fitzpatrick I don't remember exactly how many supports, but I think there are 22. Don't quote me on that one though. and they each sit between 2-3 feet apart from each other.
@@HurricaneHomestead did you use pavers under every support leg,
The pool that you have is the exact same pool as what I have
We are really excited to enjoy it again this season!
It’s up today and I get to swim in it today so it will be super fun yippee
My grandma have the same pool we going in at saterdayvit going to be a pool party😁😆
Sounds like you're gonna have a bunch of fun!
we have this pool it only took 30 mintues i say to built it but it took all night to fill it up so its not really that hard and it came with the pump already.
Our 18 foot is almost identical except the white is blue
I Like How Big It Is
Any tips on putting the ladder together ? I’ve watched a video but the ladder I have is different from what they’re showing in the video
Our ladder came with its own set of instructions, but it’s rickety at best. I ended up cutting off one side and screwing it to the porch we built so we do not have to walk through the grass. Best of luck!

Finally, a video of setting up the pool without pavers. So what do you think, hows is your pool now? I can't decide whether putting pavers or not.
We’ve not had any trouble after the initial settling of the posts. I’ve got a video on how we fixed that though. Going on our third season now.
Thank you! I check it out. Maybe an edit on your description or comment the links here so people can watch. And maybe another new pool video. Your tips are really helpful.
Hello.. what do you do about storage when you take it down? Did you put it back in the box? We kept ours up for the last two summers and finally took it down but threw out the box and now I'm trying to figure what size box we need or storage container.
We’ve left it up since we put it up, but we have two large plastic containers that we use to store our last one when we put it away.
I hav the same one
How much sand did you end up using and does the pump work good?
Thanks for sharing. How long did it take to assemble?
Took probably a couple hours total to get the pool up, but to level and spread sand it took all day.
@@HurricaneHomestead do you have a video of how you leveled our the ground?
@@reyosorto we have a video preparing the site. We already had leveled the ground in the area a couple years prior with a tractor and box blade, but sadly don’t have video of that. ruclips.net/video/g5gg7uFqL-0/видео.html

How do you smooth out the bottom once u added inch of water or so do you push the wrinkles by hand from isnide or pull from outside
My wife jumped in to the pool once there was about an inch or so of water and pulled the bottom a little at a time to get it as smooth as possible. It still has some wrinkles but it’s not bad.
Can you leave it out in the winter ??
So, now almost a year later...did you get any leaks? Also, were you able to use the pump that came with it or did you have to upgrade? I just bought this pool but I am nervous because of all the negative reviews.
No leaks. We used the pump all season with no trouble at all. We’re getting it ready this year for the new season.
Did you put anything under your posts, like blocks? And did you use sand to level the ground? Sorry for all the questions, we are about to put up this same pool and have no idea what to do.
Questions are great! For the posts, yes we put some slate rocks under most of the to help keep them from sinking into the soft ground in areas. No we did not use sand to level the ground, we leveled the dirt then put about an inch on sand on top to act as a cushion. (We had a previous pool that we didn’t do that with and the rough ground was uncomfortable to stand on with bare feet in the pool) I hope you guys have a lot of fun with your new pool! We really enjoy ours.
I should've thought of that before.
I I bought cement, rock and sand to pave
We bought this same pool but where A goes we don’t have anything to connect The hose inside. Any tips?
I just bought this pool wondering what the exact measurements are if you have them.
I don’t have the exact measurements, but the 52” is to the top of the support arms and not the water level. Ours is the 22” by 52”
We have this same one. The filter is trash did y’all switch out if so which would you recommend with this pool?
We did change out the filter this season. I recently posted a video about it here. ruclips.net/video/1wlhNdglGdc/видео.html
do you know where to buy any parts for this pool. one of the elbows at the bottom of the filter encasing broke and i cant find it anywhere
Not sure exactly which part you are needing there, but Amazon has a lot of spare parts that we have had success with in the past. Here's an affiliate link to a bunch of the extra pool parts, pumps and hoses amzn.to/2EnLM9X
I’m curious as to how well this pool holds up? The wife is really wanting a pool and they are just so expensive. I completely understand the whole “you get what you pay for” but, how well is this pool made? Any advice on this or anything? All help is appreciated!
We are going on our third season with this pool. It has performed better than I expected and we are still very happy with it.
@@HurricaneHomestead thank you so much for you’re quick reply. The ones we are finding is the same but without the windows. So, maybe that would be a good fit being so many complaints about the leaks. That would completely eliminate that possibility all together.
We had this pool for 2 or 3 years. We would take it down every winter. Eventually the windows began to leak. I would recommend getting one without windows just because it's one less thing that could potentially go wrong.
How long total did it take y’all to install?
Sam Gausmann it took us the afternoon to get the site leveled and then about 2 hours to get the pool it’s self installed.
Do you have to call and electrician to ground or not needed?
are those wrinkles? flattened out the best you could? I'm currently installing mine, stressing a little about the wrinkles, can't seem to flatten them out. I assume yours still going strong, or did you redo it after the season?
Hey Steven, there were still some wrinkles in the bottom that didn't get worked out. Didn't affect the performance of the pool. I did see a video where people used a plunger to move the liner around and get rid of some of the other wrinkles. I might try that this year. Thanks for watching!
How many truck loads of sand did you use?
we got two pickup truck loads, 1 ton all together.
Did you have to ground the pump and the pool?
Wow 😍😍😍😍😘😘😘
I'm beyond irritated with my above ground pool experience, I've been leveling my ground by hand on and off for a few months now and the first time I filled the pool a bit i noticed some sections where it was 3" off level so I drained it and did it again and got everything within 1" and I filled it up to 24" inches now and noticed that not all the legs are getting force to push the liner outward, only the spot that is lowest compared to all the rest. 3/4 of the pool is 24" and one is about 25", that section is nice and firm into the wood boards I have it setting on. The other legs have virtually no weight and I can easily lift them...:(
Have you seen my video on how I got my pool leveled after it settled a couple inches!
@@HurricaneHomestead Thanks I watched it and raised up the low spots and now its firm :)
How much sand did you use for the base cause I got the same size of pool . thank you
Our ground was mostly level so we managed to do it with two pickup truckloads of sand.
I Hope want Like this pool
I just bought this same pool what supplies do I need for the water? Any tips
That's really cool! I hope you can enjoy it as much as we have. We've got a video on keeping the water clear ruclips.net/video/g3e_7nB2ov8/видео.html
@@HurricaneHomestead yes that was my issue being new at this. We purchased a 14x48 and ot turned out absolutely beautiful the water was so clear and sparkly but my cover kept slipping off no matter how many times my husband would rig it lol. He used everything from zip ties to 2 liter bottles filled with sand he just couldn't get it to stay put and the rain got in. It actually became cloudy I ended up over shocking it, it just got to be too much of a headache so we took it down. This year we're about to purchase this one so I definitely need the tips!!!
There are some recommendations I’ve read that say not to use sand for leveling. Have you noticed any issues with sand as a leveler? We purchased the same exact pool.
jody willis we leveled our ground under the sand for our first pool and found that it was not comfortable because of small irregularities and rocks sticking up. We put down a layer of sand just to fill in the gaps and put a buffer between the hard ground and the bottom of the pool. It is 100% more comfortable this go round! I would not recommend using sand to level out the ground as it would likely move or get washed out, but once you get it fairly level, it makes a great base for the pool to rest on.
We leveled the ground first, then added sand to help smooth things out. 2×4 and a level works great!
Stonedust not sand. Then tarp and foam board.
Thanks for sharing.
Is this 52"? Are you in a cold state? the reason I ask is are you planning to take it down for winter?
We left it up all winter. It gets below freezing, but not crazy cold here. We did make sure to disconnect the pump and all the hoses this year.
@@HurricaneHomestead thanks is this 52" tall?
@@diydetailing3733 yes.
@@HurricaneHomestead thanks. pool looks great. How do you like it?
How did you get ground level
I bought the smaller version of this and the pool cover does not fit my husband myself and our boys tried and it doesn’t.. did yours come with 1?
Leave the pool cover out in the sun for a few hours to see if the plastic will stretch more. The covers are very tight, and honestly we just stopped using it because of how difficult it was to put on.
@@HurricaneHomestead ill give that a try thanks so much for the quick response! 🫶
Cant believe he went up the side of the box with a stanley knife. That could have been a disaster
What can I say, I’ve got mad skills with a blade.
Lmfaoo I cringed
How long did it take to fill up the water
About 5 days running the water for a couple hours at a time. We’re on a well and didn’t want to run it dry.
are you on a well? I just bought the same pool and worried about killing my well pump filling it.
Local fire departments will fill it in an hour or 2 for 60-100 bucks
Wow
Wow! Super what's the price
Around 600
can you link this
I have a question can the pump get wet or the plug-in as well
The pump is relatively well sealed up and can get wet, but not in standing water or submerged while powered. The outlet that the plug is plugged into should stay fairly dry because of a risk of shock. There is a GFI built into the plug to help, but it’s best to to get things too wet.
@@HurricaneHomestead ok thanks
Use toilet plunger to get out the wrinkles.
Kat Finamore thanks! That’s sounds like a great little hack. Probably want to use a new one? Just thinking. Ha ha!
How much water did it take to fill?
KC Jay a lot! I think it was roughly 15,000 gal. or 56,781 liters if you’re one of those people. 🤪
How many gallons of water is in those pools
My mom wants the 18ft version and of course the price has literally doubled🙃.
Yeah they are not cheep. I did see a different version at Walmart for around $300 bucks though.
He's size was the pool?
We’re did you buy this pool?
How much was it? And where did you buy it from?
Got it from Walmart for I think around $600
:( I keep looking for the pool but can't find it
Isa Isa we got ours from Walmart, but their app said they did not have it in stock.
@@HurricaneHomestead I know I keep going to different Walmart and multiple times but they are always out of stock.
Bummer! Our friends are having the same problem now. Hopefully you'll be able to find one!
OfferUp ... but they are marked up
If you get this pool, make sure you silicone the windows inside and out. I've heard they have a tendency to leak. I did just to make sure.
How much sand did you end up using?
We spread about 1 ton (two truck bed fulls) as a bed to make it a little softer on the feet. But the ground was already pretty much leveled before we put down the sand.
I assume you have well water? what do you use to combat the iron?
ashley _projects we have a water softener and filter system. We tested the water before treating it and it showed that the water was a little too soft.
How much sand did you use?
About 1 ton.
🏊🏿♀️ 🤘🏿 🏊🏾♂️
How expensive is to fill this pool?
I guess that depends on what you want to fill it with... Ha Ha. It's rated at about a 15k gallon pool. We're on a well so it didn't cost us anything but time and running our pump to fill it, but you can probably calculate it by looking at your cost per gallon on your water bill.
I want to swimming in this pool IHope
Where’s the ground cloth!?
How much ?
How much sand did I guys buy
We got one ton, or two pickup truck loads from our local builder supply. Cost us about 45 bucks.
Can you please tell me how many gallons it is
Kimberly Segura I think it’s like 15,000gal
Hurricane Homestead really I thought it was 10,800 the whole time
Never use sand man to level a pool people do this all the time guys sand shifts and it gets wet are moisture
It has seemed to hold up really well for us. It has been so much better than the just having hard ground that we had under our last pool.
هل يوجد عراقي هنا😅😅😅
Are you guys on a well??
Yes we are on a well.
Hurricane Homestead my fiancé just bought us the exact pool, any tips on keeping well water clear? I’ve seen so many videos on people struggling and it’s making me very nervous. Got everything level and the pools being set up tomorrow.
@@randigibson3565 my wife does most of the pool cleaning, but she made a video on how she does it with the Clorox Pool App. It’s actually pretty easy to keep clear as long as you have the right levels of PH and chlorine. You can check out that video here. ruclips.net/video/g3e_7nB2ov8/видео.html
