Hi, where did you buy the vacuum piece with the net? We have been searching for an inexpensive way to vacuum the pool! I would appreciate it so much! Thank you
Walmart - www.walmart.com/ip/Pool-Vacuum-Cleaner-Swimming-random-color-black-blue-Jet-5-Pole-Sections-Suction-Tip-Connector-Inlet-Portable-Cleaning-Tool-Jet/579634430 The pole was an additional $25 i think
did u have to put a tarp or anything down underneath? im setting mine up now.... first time pool owner.. and i just went with it lol, its on somewhat level ground.... im just worried about the maintaining part
Just saw the comment, my bad... I think it's recommended especially if you laid gravel below. We just found a spot and filled it up. So far so good, but water level is off by a few inches.
For an idea on leveling yourself take a look at this video- ruclips.net/video/Qrv5bp81RPw/видео.html Maintenance is fairly easy. During/after usage run the filter. Once filter is off you can vacuum if you like, but after playing I'm not in the mood to clean so I leave for next day and just cover with tarp. The next day I'll vacuum (usually 5 minutes if little debris, 15 tops) add couple chlorine tablets, and cover again with tarp until next usage which keeps chlorine inside. You can test the levels a few days later but I found doing so before the kids want to jump in works for us. They know they have to wait if chlorine is too high. Shock is once a week as we use it often. Once you have it down it doesn't take too long.
I'd recommend adding the shock, a couple chlorine tablets, and runing the pump for an hour. The water will be clear the following day. Increasing ph (baking soda or other products) makes it softer on skin but not required as far as I know. I'd visit a pool store for a clearer idea of maintaining correctly, what I have here has worked for us.
Sorry Allison, I don't understand the question. I'm guessing you could dig a hole and put the pool in it type of thing, but that would make it difficult when it comes time for cleaning or taking out water when it rains.
That vacuum wouldn't work for us. We use the the rechargeable me favorite is the rechargeable. That way I can go back and forth from the kiddie pool the the 18 foot
Stefan O lol you have no idea what I’m talking about. All pools pumps have an electrical current that can shock people in the pool. “Bonding” or grounding a pool is where you connect a copper wire to the pump, a plate to the water inside the pump and copper bolts at 4 of the posts on the pool they all connect together with a #8 copper wire this grounds the pool preventing shock. I highly encourage you to at least google pool bonding
@@grizgames6458 Whoops... no we didn't have to bond. The pump comes with a GFCI which according to their description "provides an extra layer of circuit protection for peace of mind." Best to unplug it when swimming.
Summer Waves pools are the best!
They're fun!
we've had our Summer Waves pool for 4 summers already and it's still in perfect condition :D
Cool!
walmart?
2 years ago they carried it. Not sure now.

When you first filled it up what chemicals did you use? Is shock and the chlorine tablets enough? Or did you need anything else

LOL. Im back again with another question. It it okay to place the pool on a surface that is somewhat deep? 🤔😀

we put up the same pool and mine is about 1inch out of level. When your kids are playing around does the poles move around?
Yes
Yes

I'm happy you found what works for you. 🙂
Did you have to bond this pool with copper wire or not?
No welding required. It's held in place by gravity/pressure and some plastic clips. Even if/when clips break I don't see it being a problem.

I thought "storable" pools dont need to be bonded.
I have the same pool but I still don’t put it up
What are you waiting for mama? Grab a a family member or friend and have some fun!
My brother got the cat on screen :)

Filter system on that pool is junk upgrade to a sand filter system and you will see a big difference.
Yes I agree, it lasted us about a year. We sold house and home and no longer have the pool.
