- In this video I show you exactly how I keep my above ground pool water crystal clear blue all summer long. I have an 18 foot round above ground pool that I've owned since 2017. Pool stores will try to sell you a bunch of unnecessary chemicals that really are a waste of money. To keep my water fresh and clean, I use only a few simple affordable chemicals you can purchase from Walmart that won't break the bank.
CBBM Method
C = Chlorine
B = Baking Soda | Raises PH and Alkalinity
B = Borax | Raises Alkalinity Only
M = Muriatic Acid | Lowers PH & Alkalinity

Man, I can't thank you enough for passing on your knowledge to us. Simple, straight-forward, no corny music and graphics. I rarely leave comments but I had to tell you thank you. This is going to help my family and I this summer!
It's comments like this one that really makes me glad that I took the time to share what I learned about pools with other people. This really works for me, year after year after year. I hope it works for you too. Thanks for your comment!!
@@DJ2Legit007 Thanks for the reply my friend, I'm glad you saw my original comment! Videos like yours are what TH-cam is supposed to be about. It's turned into garbage, but channels like this are why most of us are actually here. Nice people like you sharing knowledge and making information easily findable is just amazing. What a time we live in! But thank you again, and I'll be glad to update you if you'd like!
family and me*
@@reginacarmenbanda9131 I don't need your worthless corrections, thanks!
I'm loving these DIY pool videos! All these pool companies forcing us to buy unnecessary EXPENSIVE chemicals is ridiculous...
Yep!
I was digging around for information and I could cry. I just spent $200 that I couldn't afford on chemicals and pool hoses. Your explanation is so easy. Thank you!
I am so glad you found my video. This way has saved me a ton of money on unnecessary pool chemicals and my pool is a beautiful crystal clear blue every year. I wish you all the best!
By far the easiest instructions i have come across yet, Thanks DJ 2Legit!!
I feel the same. Glad you understood the information I presented. I do admit, I am not an expert. I am just a guy who has figured out how to keep a beautiful crystal clear swimming pool consistently every year and this is how I do it.
Super useful, and very clear! I have the biggest above ground pool I’ve had so far (2000 little gallons, lol), and I am so excited to have something simple and clear to follow.
I hope this works for you! Good luck!!
This video is fantastic. I’ve had above ground pools for 30 years and I follow these same simple steps.
Neighbors spend MUCH more on chemicals, and get worse results. Something the test-kit-chemists fail to tell above-ground owners is that the chemistry is simplified since we have liners (as do some in ground pools).
This video of yours should be watched by every above-ground pool owner who wants to spend less time and money…and enjoy their pool more!
Thanks so much! Glad you understand what I'm saying here lol. Most people overthink it. It's really not that hard.
OMG this may have been the best video and advice I have found. Thank you for explaining it , great tips and super affordable fixes
You're welcome!!
100% priceless info. Thank you, Sir. It really is this simple
I love everything about this! Thanks man!

Glad to hear it!! Congrats!!
Good job Vince
Thanks! I see so many new pool owners online struggling to keep their pool water clear so I made this video in hopes that it could help someone who is struggling.
Love the vibes
Thank you for all the info especially the vacuum tip! 😊
You are soooo welcome!!
Thank you! This so helpful!
Thank you for this video! I'm tired of trying to be a chemist! This is so much easier to understand. I'm going to try this today and see if I can get my green pool back to clear 😊
You're welcome. Yeah, you can drive yourself nuts trying to test for EVERYTHING. Watch my pool opening video for advice on clearing up a green pool.
THIS IS THE VIDEO THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR,THANKS FOR THIS VALUABLE INFORMATION
You're very welcome!
Sounds a lot easier than what I've been doing ! I'm going to try your method with an optimistic attitude and see where it takes me. Hopefully, to clearer water ! Thanks so much.....
You're welcome! Sure go ahead and give it a try. What do you have to lose? Good luck!!
Good breakdown.
Thanks for keeping it simple.
You're welcome. Yes, I think it is pretty simple too.
Omg thank you so much. I was given a large pool from my neighbor. You have saved me 😍😍
I'm so glad to hear that. Yes, if you follow what I'm telling you here, you'll be able to maintain a beautiful crystal clear pool by yourself and spend way less money than if you listen to people who work at a pool store. Good luck!!
Thank you so much for the information, it was very helpful. Your pool looks great.
You're welcome and thank you!!
Thanks for sharing. Great info.
Great video! Thanks!
Useful information Thank you
Thank you. Easy to understand helpful information.
Glad it was helpful!
Coolness!!! Wealth of info! Thanks a million!! 🙏
You're welcome!!
We just had our 24ft x 52" pool installed Friday and super excited to get in it. It is yet a bit cold though. Used our local city well water from a water tanker to fill it. Shocked, put 3 chlorine tablets in the skimmer box attached to the pool since we had to get a new floater. Will change them out so they float but put the solar cover on to keep the pollen from getting in. Was really bad these past few days. I will most likely change to his methods to save money but our initial cost was a bit high. Since i didn't want to waste water with a vacuum, I got a cordless vacuum to attach to my skimmer pool. New for me, so I will see how it works. Thanks for these tips and the website!!
You're welcome!!
Your pool is beautiful! Im looking to upgrade the sand pump that came with my 20X52 pool, any suggestions on a good sand pump filter?
One of best instruction video ive seen, th
Thank you.
You're welcome!!
Great video. Thank you 😊
Brilliant vid. I do love my pool too.
Thanks!!
Last year was my first experience with owning an above ground pool. It was great for a few weeks and then it turned into a nightmare. The pool turned green and it took me literally 4-5 weeks working in it every day to finally get it clear enough for swimming again and by that point it was already early September and swimming season was over.
We drained it this year and started over. It's been almost one full week and I'm so paranoid every single morning when I look out the window afraid it turned green overnight (I may be crazy but it's a legit fear, lol). I've been scouring YT for videos and yours really made me think that just maybe I actually CAN do this. I fear if it turns green again I'll just give up.
But, this was an AWESOME video and great information--thank you!!
First time doing this. No knowledge to care for a free pool! I am shaking as to what can happen in the next days. I didn't know it needed so much
No wonder the person who gave it away would drain every weekend. I can't drain and waste all that water 😮. I am still learning. I actually just want to quit. Hope all goes well with yours.
You're welcome! If you watch my "How To Open an Above Ground Pool" video, I explain how to fix a green pool. It's really easy, but many people don't understand it. Watch that video to learn how to fix a green pool. I open my pool in a horrible state plagued with a ton of green algae every year and I am swimming in a crystal clear blue pool within a week every year. It's really easy to do once you understand what's actually going on in the pool. Good luck to you!
Thank you.This helped me out a lot
Glad to hear it! I'll be opening my pool tomorrow.
Great Video! 😃💯
Great info! Thanks for the pool calculator website. Great suggestion for siphoning the dirty pool floor. Thanks!
You're welcome! I should have a new video uploaded tomorrow showing how to clear up a cloudy pool and also how to vacuum using the siphon method.
I’d love to see the siphoning of the pool floor in action. We are a lil confused about where the dirt goes?
You’re siphoning the dirty water out of the pool. Get the siphon started as you drop the hose over the pool side. I got a better water pull then when I drained it thru the filter. I love this method, works so good.
Great information, Thank you!
You're welcome!!
Glad I found this video
So helpful thank you
Awesome informative video brother, God bless!
Thank you!!
Very helpful! Thank you
You're welcome!
Gracias señor !! 🙏 disfrute mucho tu video y entendi mucho mejor que otros videos que hablan tanto y no explican nada. Voy a aplicar tus consejos
God bless you 🙏
De nada!!
Thank you for sharing your information this is great setting up my pool just ordered the sand filter 😀
Awesome!! I know you're excited. Enjoy!!
@DJ2Legit007 definitely I've learned alot on pool care it was frustrating at first but got the hang of it now even struggled with the leveling part at first but works out good 👍
Great Video. Hope you make more!
Thanks!!
Thank you for the info, very helpful.
You're welcome!
Awesome video
Thanks!!
Great info, thanks!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video
Thanks!!
Appreciate the share bro!
Thanks!!
We just bought a house last fall that came with an above ground 24 footer. We are so grateful for your videos, we are in the backwash/rinse/filter phase and our water has gone from dark green to cloudy blue within a matter of hours! Thank you!
Okay awesome!! If the cloudiness doesn't go away and your PH and alkalinity is in line, use flocculant to clear it up. Let the floc sit in pool for 24 hours overnight. Then vacuum the microscopic dead algae off the bottom of the pool the next morning. 😊
Thank you so much!! This is truly cheaper than taking a sample of my above ground pool water to a pool supplier, just to walking out the door with a 380.00 bill for what they want to sell!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!🙌
@@keithurbanfan306 You're welcome. Remember the pool store is in business to SELL PRODUCTS so they can keep their jobs. So glad I got smart and cut them loose years ago.
Thanks for the info!
You're welcome!!
love it!!❤
Thanks sr. I just bought my above ground pool, waiting for it, and I was worried about how maintenance will be, this video was the answer. Thanks so much.
What filter system you recommend for a 14 ft x 42 inch round pool. The come with one, but I don’t know if will be enough for it
Thanks so much
Man the method to vacuum off the bottom using Syphon is brilliant
Ikr. After I tried it the first time about 6 years ago, I've been using that method ever since.
Lol I like this. The 3 are really basic what you need. All that other calcium and stuff just starts getting a bit much. But it's great for people who really wanna be on another level lol
Agreed!
Good content sir. U r 100 percent correct..
Thank you!
Great information and Great Video good job.. I have an inground cement pool. The only extra step for me is to add calcium..
Thanks!!
Great video thank you
You're welcome!!
Great Video! Thank YOu!
You are welcome!
I feel way less scared now. Thank you
So glad to hear that. You're welcome!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for sharing !
You're welcome!!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you very good information I happy you are wonderful
Thank you!!
Poolrx work very great
Lovely
Thank you!! Wish you were in Alabama!! How often do you vacuum your pool for algae. We had a terrible time last year. It was our 1st year having a pool. We had no clue how to maintain it. It’s a rectangular above ground pool that holds 15,000 gallons. It’s as large as an in ground pool. We tried to hire people to maintain it for us. But none of the professionals cleaned above ground. They said they were too hard to keep up. Your video gave us some great info. Hopefully this summer will be better.
I siphon vacuum for algae probably around twice a month. It just all depends on how much algae I see on the bottom of the pool. Hope my video helps you. Good luck this year!
Thanks for the reply 😊
Vincent this was the most simply broken down information ever. I thank you so much you did a great job. I only have one question, did you dig you pool to be a little deeper? Only asking b/c at the end the way you kind of dove in. Thank you dearly if you have the time to respond.
Thank you!! No, the water in my pool is the same height all the way around which is roughly 52 inches.
Wow that leaf vaccuum looks amazing
It really is amazing!! I highly recommend it.
@@DJ2Legit007 I think it is great as well! Where can you buy it?
@@Peter-Alexander You can buy from this link: amzn.to/3JZ8vb2
@@DJ2Legit007 Thanks a lot
Thank you
Great video, loved it. As you are using chlorine tablets you should be aware that about 40% of these are actually Cyanuric Acie (aka as stabilizer) I am sure you are aware of. This value climbs and you should keep it below 40 or so. Otherwise your chlorine is less effective. I love the syphon vacuum! Unfortunately my pool deep end is 2.4 meter deep so I have no chance of using it.
Thanks for the info!
Great video! Easy. How long do you run your filter for?
Thank you!! 10 hours a day from 12 noon until 10pm.
Thanks
nice video Sir
Thank you!
thNK YOU SO MUCH I HAVE BEEN WATCHING EVERYONE ELSE AND IT TOOK A MAN THAT LOOKS LIKE ME TO BREAK IT DOWN THE SIMPLEST THANK YOU I WAS MISSING THE chlorine LIQUID WENT TO THE POOL STORE TOLD THEM MY PROBLEM THEY DIDNT EVEN MENTION TO BUY THIS WTH
Well you must be a very handsome man lol. J/k... but yeah, this is why I cut my pool store a loose years ago. All they care about is selling you a bunch of crap that you don't need. They are a BUSINESS that needs to keep making $$$ to keep their jobs. Glad my video helped you.
@@DJ2Legit007 walah just like that my pool is clear ayyyeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@GregHarris-lm5ox Yep. Congrats!!!
LOVE MY POOL ☮💙
awesome
Thank you so much
You're welcome!!
great video!! thank you so much! one question please, what brand did you use for chlorine tablets on amazon?
The link is in the description, however I will go ahead and include it here for you too.

You did a great job at your pool, and your explanation is very simple so I will fallow your orientation.
Thank you💯👏
You are welcome!
Thank you so much.
You're welcome!!
Great
Thanks man!
You're welcome!!
@@DJ2Legit007sorry if I missed this in your video but about how long do you wait until you swim after you add in chemicals
@@original_m.c.pharaoh About 2 hours
Bravo,
I am happy I came across this video I was having issues trying to vacuum my pool and the pool store prices are really expensive for chemicals.
Yes a pool store will always try to do whatever they can to increase sales. They will try to push so much unnecessary stuff on you because that is their job. That's how they keep a job. This is really all you need right here in my video.
We have a case of high alkalinity and normal ph, so we do need to check alkalinity, unfortunately, and do the dance between muruatic acid and soda ash. I also learned I need cyanuric acid in order for the chlorine to stay put. Good information here, but I do think it all depends where your water is starting from...
Works 4 me too.
Thank you so much for your video. My question is I just received all my cleaning supplies do I put them on all at once after checking the pool calculator?
You're welcome. No, always use one chemical at a time and space them out about 3-4 hours so they can properly circulate in your pool before adding the next chemical.
Great video! Would you shock the pool if you were filling it up for the first time? if so would you still use the same chemicals?
Thanks!! Nope. I don't believe in shocking a pool "just because" it has water in it. After filling a pool for the first time, I will test it and see what chemicals it needs and then add the proper chemicals.
Do you have a video on your vacuuming process
