@@nimbis55 actually it did come with a filter pump. But I must say this get a a cover for your pool. Definitely because the bugs and dust and grossness. And make sure you have enough money for the water! It takes 1,000 gallons. And make sure you have a flat yard. Otherwise you're fked.
We haven't had good luck with this pool. It kept collapsing even with a level ground. We don't have much water in it. Works for our 4 year olds but we won't set up again next year. Pump is garbage.
@@Lawnmowercare I saw that! Ours keeps going into an oval shape and then collapsing. Starts out great and then after a little while it looks like a taco. 🤦🏻♀️🌮
Good video, but those wrinkles in the bottom of the liner that touches the ground HAVE to be smoothed out while you're starting to fill it. If not that's where you will get your first leak. You need to work out the wrinkles from the inside and out while there's about an inch of water. You can't get the wrinkles out after it has too much water weight in it.
Not simple and the instructions suck. We had a power outage and i went to plug it back in and the lights are all red... its not letting me choose a timer setting... not sure what to do. Also mine came with extra pieces that theres no instructions for... no clue what theyre for. 😢 mine is the brown one.
Hopefully your ring is a lot thicker on the 13 foot pool. The whole thing seems decent except the ring on mine is very thin, which makes multi year usage hard to achieve.
Thanks man! This dumb thing came no instructions. The pump is leaking like a sive, so we'll see how long it lasts.. it has the black rings like you mentioned. 😢 The kid is having a blast though.
I just spent 3 days of getting it 1/2; full of water draining it , moving it and draining it 2 more times , called Walmart an said um bringing it back i have a bad leg from shattering femur 5-6 years ago and needing shoulder surgery , TH-cam makes it look easy but for some reason one side of my pool won't stay up
It helps with this style of pool as I couldn’t fill it to optimal level so lost about 3 inches of water. The next season went a lot better as I had more time to set it up.
Thank you for this video trying to understand the instructions with the pump and what goes where is horrible all it is is drawn pictures and I don't know what they're even drawing, like what are these... things?... none of it makes sense!!! It's like trying to read petroglyphs drawn by a 2 year old LAWD ... so thank you for the video. Lol💛
You’re welcome. I kind of struggled with it myself and I was pretty mechanical so I decided to do a video on it to help other people. All we wanted to do was cool down we didn’t know it was gonna take so long to put together.
Go to Menards to the pool area and they make one that’s got a nice handle and it’s made out of plastic but you hook a garden hose to it and then a large white cloth bag on the other side and it has wheels and you just walking along the bottom of the pool and it fills that white bag full of leaves and dirt and such and then you just empty that white cloth bag when you’re done it does a phenomenal job! the force from the garden hose is some thing else! I couldn’t believe that it cleaned that well. They’re under $20
If you try to blow it up by mouth, it will take forever. You need to buy blower at Walmart for air mattresses and or pool toys and such it has a special attachment that goes at the end of the hose. It’s probably a $10 blower.
Make sure the ring is full of air. This pool needs stretched out before fill. Meaning it’s big at bottom narrow at top. It’s also designed to rise as you fill it so if ring is flat most likely your sides go underwater.
It goes inside the pool if it looks like a strainer. Half of it is inside the pool and half is on the outside of the pool. I believe it screws together in 2 pieces
Thanks brotha....this product had garbage instructions, your real commentary was much needed
Your welcome sir!
So glad I finally found an informative video regarding the pump set up. Thank you!
You’re welcome Suzie! more content will be available soon!
@@Lawnmowercare Yes! thank you because the instructions are hideous.
Bc the instructions SUCK!
I bought this pool from Walmart for $78 yesterday. And now I'm watching this video to learn how to set it up.
did yours come with a pump for the bottom part?

I posted a follow up video of the same exact thing happening to us.

We ended up throwing it out! The ring on top of pool leaked eventually one evening it submerged. We tried fixing it but was unsuccessful.
What are the black plugs for?
At the end of the year when you’re putting the pool away you fill the holes with those black plugs.
@@Lawnmowercare thank you for the fast response! Filling up as we speak!
Sucks my backyard concrete has a slight incline when they poured my cement. Lazy halfa$$ workers
I’ve searched the whole internet for this answer right here thank you!!
Getting the sides up is a nightmare on my 13ft. Hrs of fill and still not there at least I inflated the ring enough so water isn't falling

Awesome definitely needed in this weather lately ! Glad to help
@@Lawnmowercare Oh, do you use any chemicals to keep it clean?

Did you have to level the ground

Thanks for the video. What vacuum did you use and how did you hook it up? The filter seems way to weak for one.

You have to stretch the pool from the inside like a lot of people have been doing in their videos in TH-cam.
How did you inflate the pool we got ours today and having trouble inflating it
If you try to blow it up by mouth, it will take forever. You need to buy blower at Walmart for air mattresses and or pool toys and such it has a special attachment that goes at the end of the hose. It’s probably a $10 blower.
My pool sides are underwater and I can’t get them up how do I get them up with out draining it
Make sure the ring is full of air. This pool needs stretched out before fill. Meaning it’s big at bottom narrow at top. It’s also designed to rise as you fill it so if ring is flat most likely your sides go underwater.
Thanks for the instructions, wish I could find a cover for it.
Thanks. Pls what chlorine and how much ?pls

Does the filter stay on 24/7 or can you turn it off
It has a timer at the end of pump plug.
My side A has that same piece but it has a twist bottom on it. What am I twisting it into?
Mine just needed black seal and it twisted into place. Then locking ring at end
@@Lawnmowercare I was sent the wrong piece for my pool
There's one grey component that looks like a spigot. Is that for emptying or did I miss a step.
It goes inside the pool if it looks like a strainer. Half of it is inside the pool and half is on the outside of the pool. I believe it screws together in 2 pieces
Mine just leans to one side and the water goes over the inflated rim
Drain and stretch bottom… kick all the way around pool with heal. Pool bigger at bottom and narrow at top.
