A quick update with tips and tricks after a week and a half of being filled and used. Link to original unboxing and installation: • Polygroup Summer Waves...
The reason why u have the brown residue in your filter is because you are NOT supposed to put the chlorine tablets where you do (the pump). When the pump is not on, the chlorine and its chemicals cause the area to rust which causes the brown color and can make your pump run into many problems and not last as long. It's always better to buy a chlorine tablet floater to have floating in your pool and add the chlorine tablets to the floater 👍😊
Very well done sir, you saved me and my father time with these videos. The only things I would recommend are, using a Pool Chlorinator floaty that sits on the water, instead of chlorine in the basket.Playroom foam mats on the ground then put tarp over that. The foam mats worked like a charm on my uneven lawn. They got em at Home Depot. Peace! From Michigan
This seems to be the only size available in a 100 mile radius. I was skeptical about the size since I’m the only adult putting it together but after watching both videos I’m a tad bit more comfortable and I’ll try to get one in the morning. Thanks so much
I just got the same pool and am struggling to get it level. It keeps wanting to lean one way or the other. Ours is leaning too much so will be draining it and trying again. So far, putting cement pavers under the legs to prevent them from sinking has worked the best. Did you fill your pool with well water? The brown is a chemical reaction between the iron in the water and the chlorine.
I have the same pool quick tip keep Pool floats in the pool when your covering it ! If it rains it helps the water not settle witch makes it a even bigger task taking it off
The brown color on the filter is "iron" from your water, mixing with the chemicals. It's normal. However, you should float the chlorine tab, not put in it the skimmer. It will eventually corrode the pump.
My pool is loud like this I am thinking of upgrading my pool filter to something bigger. I always wash my filters so we only use like 2 a summer. I had no idea that is what them black things were for haha. So the only reason for that noise is low water?
Hi there, just wanted to ask how the pool is doing almost a year later? We just bought one, haven't set it up, but now seeing multiple reviews where the seams have torn and flooding people's yards. Have you had any issues with the pool since this video? Thank you for any info.
Hi, I actually just pulled it out of storage today to clean it up for summer. Haven’t filled it yet, but looks to be in ok condition. Regular wear and tear. Putting a video together this week on a 1 year update.
I had a summer waves pool and it didn't burst at the seams. But this was pre covid. Ppl stockpiled pool and didn't store them properly so I'd say the liners dry rotted.
We used 1 shock treatment, and a few rounds of a PH decreaser, along with the chlorine tabs. The little test strips are easy to dip in and let you know your levels. We had most of these things already from our hot tub.

Thank you. I may check in to a floating chlorine dispenser.
He is right. You need a floater and make sure you or your kids don't grab the tablets barehand. They're very strong chemicals.

Thanks! I’ll give it a try.
So you guys didn't need to til the grass? Or remove the sod first?
@@bizfitness6863 I did not. I maybe should have, but it seems to be working just fine.

Yes, filled with some more water and the problem went away. Haven’t had any other pump problems yet as I’ve seen in other videos.

You doing took a week for me
I notice your water has a green tint as well. I can’t seem to get it to go away think it’s just the bottom colors of the pool maybe?
I think it just takes some time. It’s looking a lot better now.
Rocktail Entertainment j what did you use we are struggling 😢

*wave*... You're very Talented At making videos. See ya bud Xd
yeah that is not a lot of water with the top on it
It’s just the same pool as mine it doesn’t take four weeks bro
How long did it take you to fill up
We bough the exact same one and just want to know
I’d say about 10 -12 hours. That’s straight from a garden hose off the house.
