    The key to pool maintenance is Saltwater. Use a saltwater generator to chlorinate the pool. Sooooo much easier. Also a sand filter not that cartridge system. That size pool you would need about 80lbs of pool salt and the Intex Chlorine generator. Look into it, so much easier to keep clean and water crystal clear.

    OK, I'll chime in . 1984, I'd been living in my new house for 3 years. It is in a small subdivision that was a cornfield. NO SHADE. I needed something. Found an old pool free if I removed. It took me about 6 hours to put everything in my puckup. Working afternoon shift I'd come home and dig until sunrise then sleep. Just befor heading into work I'd take a quick look at my effort in broad daylight. It took me 2 weeks to dig the hole and manicure the bottom and edge. I bought a 24 foot by 6 foot liner for it. So I dug 2-1/2 feet down 20 feet across and tapered the edge up to the Aluminum pool wall. I hand piled dirt up around the edge to get the height. The finished size was a full 7-1/2 feet deep across 20 feet at the bottom. I figured 20,000 gallons and it took my well 2 full days to fill. For many many years we used that pool. I took the best care using liquid chlorine and muriatic acid. I restored the otiginal diatomaceous earth filter and it worked flawlessly. I ran 10 gallons/ min thru 900 feet of Black plastic tube on the roof of my pole barn for solar heat. It provided +10°F to the temp. Research Cyanuric Acid to keep the chlorine from evaporating so quickly. A solar cover helped keep it warm. I found 85°F was my favorite temp and I maintained it pretty well. l hav a e mail at yah oo moparbens@ it . com if you'd care to converse. ben/ michigan

Thank you for the pool!

    One of the best investments I ever made was buying a pool. We were the only ones that had one, so of course everyone wanted to be at our house. We told my youngest daughter that was 5, that she had to help get the yard ready and remove the sod… my baby went out there in her rainboots, tank top and shorts dragging her Daddy’s shovel. She wanted that pool! Haha! She didn’t know we had installers coming to do everything. It was the cutest thing to watch her! 😉

    • @TiredMommy-kt2nc
      @TiredMommy-kt2nc 6 месяцев назад

      Pools are a horrible investment if you take into account the time and money needed to maintain it. You have to keep it clean and maintain your pH and chemical levels. You have to skim the leaves and clean the filters or else you can kill your pump. I bet your daughter and son-in-law haven't bought the pool yet because no one has the time or inclination to clean and maintain one more thing. Unless you plan on doing it? Or are you offering ideas for how your daughter and her husband should spend their money and their time?
      And kids have to be watched when in the pool. So they can "invest" in a death trap for their kids and pay for that pleasure.

    So we got this type of pool. Much cheaper, but does the job. If it lasts five years, then it really wasn't expensive. I got a pool cleaning robot, very convenient. The robot is just dropped in the pool, and runs for about an hour. If the battery is drained, it stops at a wall for easy pickup.

    Draining & Heating A Pool: I had an in-ground pool to empty out for repairs and paint, and later to heat up quickly for a child's 4th birthday party. I bought a submersible pump from Harbor Freight and ran garden hose from it out away from the house. After completing the repair and painting, I filled the pool and needed to heat it faster than just waiting on the Sun. I bought a roll of black plastic irrigation tubing. With the pump at the deep point of the pool and the tubing laid out around the concrete pool deck, I started the water recirculating five days before the party. That deep pool (9 feet at the deep end) was quite comfortably warm the morning of the party and all I had to do was remove the pump, coil up the tubing and put it all away. Total cost was under $75 in 2004.

    Get a small sand filter. It will keep it clear and so much easier to take care of.
    Enjoy

    You'll love it .had mine for 3 years and it'd perfect. You will probably need a bigger pump and buy two chemical clothes and chlorine tables and water softer tables is all you need

    i would have left the gravel, and put foam or rubber horse stall pads over top or even i really heavy duty top would have protected your pool from the gravel.. foam board and the rubber mats make a really good surface underneath the pool

    To keep the pool clean, make it slightly brackish, and siphon vacuum the dirt off the bottom once or twice a week. It's better for your health too cuz chlorine is a carcinogen.
    To make it brackish you can just float a cattle salt lick in it every once in a while. Just keep it brackish enough so you don't see algae growing in it.

    Would look awsome if you put some decking steps around the front sides and corner and some decking from the back corner up to both sides of the fence with some room for sitting in deck chairs, to cover all it in.

    We are on our 3rd above ground pool starting small to the largest you can get and converting to saltwater system will by far help with EVERYTHING no shocking with chemicals after a hard rain etc and no it is not like the ocean people who have been in are shocked they can’t tell it’s saltwater. Trust you will not regret it.😊 Not a big project either, you have done way more complicated projects! Coming from a Florida family, we are not as capable, lol.😅

    STRONGLY recommend that you get an above ground Sand Filter for your pool... The paper filters with never keep up with it. A sand filter can clean the entire pool in no time. Trust me, I had the exact pool, but larger.. and deeper...

  • @JustMe-s6s4m
    @JustMe-s6s4m 7 месяцев назад +3

    Pure physics. 1) The depth of the pool isn't much so the pressure is low. 2) The hose is small diameter and long. Both cause resistance to flow. Combine low pressure with high resistance and you get a LONG time for the water to just trickle out.

    Always wet before you compact, spray and let it sit and soak in, the water acts as a lubricant and will pack tighter and deeper.
