@@traciesplace by pools coming from Amazon my other pool didn’t turn out too good and it kept collapsing so I got the 10by 30 pool and it should work this time 100%
Do you leave it up after summer or do you empty it and put it away? Living in Chicago I would probably have to disassemble it with the crazy winters we get. Thanks! 🥰
mines a bit bigger 16 by 42 ive found that the best way to keep it clean is a cover after use and i walk in a circle in order to bring all the dirt and what not to the center then skim its a great pool and that was a great video , happy pool days
I totally agree with covering the pool after use. I also clean the bottom of the pool when we first get in and before I get out. All I used is chlorine tablets in a floating container for the whole summer and the water was perfect! No other chemicals. I learned that off of somebody else on RUclips. Tracie thank you for your videos. You have a very calming voice, you take your time explaining things and it’s so much easier than trying to understand the instructions that come with the pool! Keep those videos coming we appreciate you.
Thanks for these videos. I’m debating on get this style pool again. We’ve had it before and I had a hard time keeping the levels correct. My kids would get swimmers ear. If I get another I need to be able to maintain it properly. I also need to think fast because I know these things are going to be hard to find soon. Thanks again
I've watched a couple videos on how to drain these, yours is the only one that mentioned plugging the drain back through from the inside after. Is that part hard to do? Thank you for posting these 😊
@@traciesplace and this is from the INSIDE right? I am referring to after you are done draining water and replace the drain cap? I watched your video on maintenance back in April when I first started too, so helpful.
Hi!! great videos!!!! I have a question, so I emptied my pool completely and the inner lining is slippery. Do you have any tips on cleaning all of that before I fill it up with water again? Thank you!!!
That was great. How do you know when to shock your pool? I am putting my pool up for the first time do i swim first then at dawn chlorine it and cover it. Also do you have a solar heater pad?
You can shock when the dirt/algae starts building up or as a preventative which I do. Depending on how often the pool is used is what you go by. Don’t over chlorinate though, I did that once. It’s actually trial and error because everyone’s usage time is different, yes- I do use a solar pad. Also feel free to check out the drop down description box below this video for more information and links to my other pool videos that can help 👍🏽✨
Hi Bella! My pool came with three holes in it- I’ve seen where others come with 2, and the only thing I can think of is that some models are older than others? I’m not quite sure, I was wondering why that was too 🧐
I notice that you have your pool over a tarp on top of rocks.... I did the same thing and filled it and once I got in I found some spots that it feels very pointy from the rocks.. is the intex liner strong enough in your opinion to withstand it? Or should I drain the pool and try and level the rocks out better? Thank you!
Hi William! We could feel the rocks through the bottom but it wasn’t horrible- but it’s basically personal preference. The rocks didn’t puncture the bottom but next time I will cover with more than tarp or use something different 👍🏽✨
@@traciesplace It was poked through. I would take the hose off and it would pour out. Put the hose on and nothing. Strangest thing. At least there weren’t many chemicals and we have clay dirt so it soaked it right up.
Ours wont drain as quickly as yours... the husband is telling me I need to siphon the hose to get it going, but Im not tyna do all that... any other suggestions to get the water flowing? There are no kinks in the hose and it is flat with no loops running downhill. TIA
Hi Tracey I am struggling to empty the Intex above the ground pool. Mine is a little bigger than yours. Where did you get the drain connector from? It is not available on Amazon.
Hi! You definitely need a leaf/debree skimmer, a brush or hand mit, pool shock and use 1” tablets depending on what size your pool is and research how to use for the size you have 👍🏽✨
It just depends on where you end up finding everything unfortunately- the prices have fluctuated so much since I bought mine because of the demand with this COVID-19. Check Amazon (my link is below in the description box below this video) and INTEX online as well as Home Depot, Lowe’s, Target Sam’s and other Big Box and discount stores. 👍🏽✨
Hey! I have a question..does it matter the type of hose is used? I ask because we had to drain it to level it off better and the hose connector didn't work..we have the flexible hose..
How long does it take to fill? (I got this model pool and don't want to keep it up for extended periods of time and only use on a hot day/when friends come over etc,. . .)
Depends on how much water pressure you have. Mine is pretty good. I have the 8' pool. It takes 3-4 hours to fill. Unless you want a super high water bill I wouldn't recommend constantly refilling it.
Why is my pool shaped like a egg: and it’s been 4 days and looks dirty. It’s only been my 2 kids on it. Is the pump supposed to be o. When they are in the pool? Plus I didn’t buy any of the chlorine. 😭
HELP!!!!! I've owned this kind of pool for 11 years now. This is like my 6th one. Every year I use chlorine tabs. NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. I don't know what to do. What can I use? I don't know what to do without chlorine tabs
@@traciesplace I think you missed the word the word “not “ and when I had my easy set pool I didn’t put any chemicals in it I just drained it every week. And I drained it that way. from all the draining your pool videos everyone drains it into their backyard right into the grass. And I’m assuming a lot of them use chemicals. Ive even seen their chlorine puck container floating around while they’re draining.
I'm watching the video, and reading comments, almost every comment deserves a like. NICELY EXPLAINED. Detailed info. Thank you for creating confidence.
Thank you so much- I appreciate that! 😊
So glad you made this video. The draining process was the one major question I had before I buy one of these pools. 🙂
😊👍🏽
I feel so much better about having to drain this now, thank you
You’re welcome ☺️
Thank you for explaining things in a straight forward manner Great video!
You’re welcome! 🤗✨
I will be getting one next year can't wait have a wonderful day God bless you always
Perfect timing for this time of year. Thank you for the information.
Outstanding video! Love the hints you have as well. Thank you!
You are so welcome! I’m glad it was helpful 🤗
Your videos are actually helping me because I just got a 10 by 30 and it your tips work
Awesome! 🤗
@@traciesplace I am actually getting the pool tomorrow and I’ll let you know if I need any help .

Is the filter pump on correctly? I e seen where theres only two white hoses not 4
Hi Bella! My pool came with three holes in it- I’ve seen where others come with 2, and the only thing I can think of is that some models are older than others? I’m not quite sure, I was wondering why that was too 🧐
Geesh I ordered one and after watching so many videos I am so nervous
Hi Amy! Check out my set up video which is linked at the ending of this video! It makes it easy! 🤗✨💦👍🏽
Where did you find the filter pump
I notice that you have your pool over a tarp on top of rocks....
I did the same thing and filled it and once I got in I found some spots that it feels very pointy from the rocks.. is the intex liner strong enough in your opinion to withstand it? Or should I drain the pool and try and level the rocks out better?
Thank you!
Hi William! We could feel the rocks through the bottom but it wasn’t horrible- but it’s basically personal preference. The rocks didn’t puncture the bottom but next time I will cover with more than tarp or use something different 👍🏽✨
We used sand instead of rocks! It’s a bit of a pain to lay down/level out, but we didn’t have to worry about anything puncturing the liner!
I tried this but the water wouldn’t come out of the hose. Didn’t make any sense to me. So now I’m just drowning my yard.
Oh no- the hose connector has to poke through to the inside of pool- push it in. Probably too late but… 😕
@@traciesplace It was poked through. I would take the hose off and it would pour out. Put the hose on and nothing. Strangest thing. At least there weren’t many chemicals and we have clay dirt so it soaked it right up.
Could you please share a link to the Drain Connector? I couldn’t find the right adapter that connects a garden hose to the drain outlet. Thanks!
I will look for one to link for you 🙌🏽✨
Ours wont drain as quickly as yours... the husband is telling me I need to siphon the hose to get it going, but Im not tyna do all that... any other suggestions to get the water flowing? There are no kinks in the hose and it is flat with no loops running downhill. TIA
Hubby is correct, my husband blew in the hose then made a quick suction and it started flowing out 👍🏽
I can’t get the hose water to start coming out of the hose. It’s open and everything, but it’s not coming out. What am I missing?
Sometimes you have to blow hard into the hose end and then make 1 good mouth suction pull to get it going…
I don’t seem to have the white draining peace to add to the hose in order to drain the water through the hose. Smh. Any advice?
Cool
Hi Tracey
I am struggling to empty the Intex above the ground pool. Mine is a little bigger than yours. Where did you get the drain connector from?
It is not available on Amazon.
Hello Shazia… it was in he box with the pool 👍🏽✨
What was that white plastic thing at the end of your hose that allowed you to attach it to your pool to drain properly?
Hose connector
For the other video you posted for all the supplies, do I need to buy all of them?
Hi! You definitely need a leaf/debree skimmer, a brush or hand mit, pool shock and use 1” tablets depending on what size your pool is and research how to use for the size you have 👍🏽✨
@@traciesplace How much do you think everything will cost in total

What size adapter did you use to drained to pool that you hooked to the water hose to
So sorry about the late reply but it came with the pool 👍🏽
Hey! I have a question..does it matter the type of hose is used? I ask because we had to drain it to level it off better and the hose connector didn't work..we have the flexible hose..
Hi! Just a hose that the drain connector can screw/attach on to 👍🏽✨🍃
@@traciesplace I figured but my pool will not drain out with that flexible hose .it's weird..I'm just gonna go out and get a regular ole green hose!
@@barbarahenry9616 oh man! I have a flexible hose. I just threw out the old one! ugh! Now I have to go buy another one.
How do I get the sides to come up after I already filled
hi where did you get the drain connector

I'm so hot just pour that pool water right over my head lol 😂 yes time to drain and refill, looks clear and pretty
Lol! Yes, so hot! Thank you! 🤗✨🍃💦
Where can I order a drain connector?
Hi George, if not on Amazon or EBay, you should be able to straight from INTEX 👍🏽✨
Hi what did you use ?
The connector piece 👍🏽✨

Hi! I use pool shock and it works fine for me. Check with a pool store for instructions! 🙌🏽✨
wrong, you just step on the side and hold it down with your foot until the tsunami stops. it only takes a few min that way.
Not wrong… everyone wants to flood their yard and get all those chemicals in their grass etc.

Ohhh 🧐✨
