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!
Yes sir I agree very good advice sir I have a sand filtered system as well I’m very tired every time taking my sample of water to my local pool place also tired of being a chemist now with your help I can do it better than I was doing thanks buddy so I can enjoy the pool 😊😊
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!
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!
This is the best video yet, for maintaining an above ground pool, especially for a girl with a tight budget!! I am the only one who swims in my pool, so it can’t be getting THAT dirty!! I LOVE my pool too, and I’ve been just teaching myself how to maintain it by trial and error!! So, thank you for this perfect video!! I’m getting everything you’ve got right there first thing in the am. Thank you!!
First time pooly here! Hi Vince from Australia 🐨😊 Thanks heaps for the clear info. My fellow pool people in the Facebook pool groups tell us we need so much extra nonsense. I really appreciate your knowledge and for sharing. My above ground is blue, clear and sparkling! I'm so proud of it and like you, I too enjoy the maintenance it's definitely therapeutic lol.
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.
Clear, concise and well explained 😊 Interesting that you use sanitizer in liquid form. In my country we have 'chlorine ' in dry powder form in 8kg buckets. I suspect that your sanitizer (chlorine ) is sodium hypochlorite , where our sanitizer is calcium hypochlorite. 😮 Both do the job but are broken down by UV light so I dose my pool in the evenings.
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!
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.
What an excellent presentation you are my hero. I’m sending this to my husband. Thanks for putting in the time because the most valuable thing we have between us. Humans is good common sense.
thank you. i think you should do more of these videos for us pool dummies. The pool calculater seems great. unfortuantley my test strips dont tell me what the readings are just what i need to buy to fix them. i got all this stuff you have and im about to order those strips. I put pool up a week ago had no idea how hard it would be learning to maintain!!
DJ - thank you so much for sharing your pool maintenance information with us here on TH-cam! I want to have a pool when I get a house but thought keeping it clean would cost a lot, but your suggestions makes it affordable by doing it myself; and I understand how it would be relaxing doing it yourself. Now when I'm looking at homes, I will select one that has the area in the back to fit a pool. You did a really good job making the video - your instructions were to the point and easy to understand - thanks again!
Too cool! I just transitioned over the weekend to using these cheaper supplies thanks to this video and so happy considering how much money I’m going to save on maintaining my pool as a new homeowner. I appreciate your video! Well explained. 👍🏽
Thank you so much! This was the most helpful video I’ve found to show me how to fix my pool problem. I had cloudy greenish tinted water and I tried the clarifier and vacuuming and it just kept right on kicking it all back up as soon as I passed over the debris. I decided to siphon it out manually like you said, bypassing the filter altogether and my pool was CRYSTAL CLEAR within minutes! You’re the best, thank you again!
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! 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.
Yes, it can be overwhelming when people over think it and try to test for EVERYTHING and add a ton of chemicals in their water. But if you keep it simple, you will see just how simple and easy it really is. You're welcome.
Oh I can’t wait to use your tips! I love the “I’m not a chemist” bit. SO many videos get WAY too in depth for my little 12’ pool. This is the 1st year out of 3 that my pool has not turned bright green ~ it’s also the 1st year I haven’t covered my pool at night 🤔 But now early Aug it’s getting slimy :/ I use a rechargeable Intex vacuum & I love it but I’m gonna check out that pool calculator - shame on me I only pay attention to the chlorine - not PH or alkaline 😬 Thank you!
This has helped me tremendously and I need to rely on those strips because the Clorox app has told me I needed so of every one of their products to get it suitable for swimming. The only thing I haven't purchased is the muriatic acid and I need too since my pH is always high. Thank you for sharing this and all of your good information!
Right now my pool is lime green. My pool service said chlorine was fine. I went and bought test strips today and the two chlorines were lower than low. My pool has not been clean enough to swim in for many many years. Very frustrated. Thank you for this video. I should let my pool service watch it.
Awesome video man! Thank you so much for posting. I've been trying to understand and use all the different pool chemicals the pool store wants to sell me. It's been overwhelming. You greatly simplified the process in a very good concise video and probably saved me a lot of money.
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 😊
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
@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 👍
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!!
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.
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.
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 🙏
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.
When opening your pool if it's green to kill the algae. Also use it whenever your test strips say your pool is low on chlorine. I'll add one gallon at that time.
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.....
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...
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
Awesome video. It sounds easy but I cant get my pool right for nothing. Im on my 3rd time draining 1/2 my pool in 2 weeks. All my numbers are off range. Saturday my pool was blue yesterday it turned green.
I you follow this video you should be fine. I have an inground pool and the only extra step I have to take is to add calcium.. Seems like you're not adding enough chemicals. My pool has never been green and I'm not experienced.
@@Lyfehurts66 I solved my problem. My cya was very high. It would not take the chlorine. The pool place had me adding the wrong chlorine granules to my water. When I started using liquid chlorine everything was perfect. My water is so clear and pretty. Check out my recent pool post on my channel
3:10 main advice: just test for PH balance, Alkalinity, and Chlorine
From description: CBBM Method
C = Chlorine
B = Baking Soda | Raises Alkalinity & PH
B = Borax | Raises PH Only
M = Muriatic Acid | Lowers PH & Alkalinity

Thank you!! No, the water in my pool is the same height all the way around which is roughly 52 inches.
When should I use the Chlorine liquid?
When opening your pool if it's green to kill the algae. Also use it whenever your test strips say your pool is low on chlorine. I'll add one gallon at that time.
Thank you Vince for making this so easy and taking the time to make this video. Very helpful.

You only need a manual vacuum and a vacuum hose. I bought mine from my local pool store. Let me know if that's not enough info for you.
One of best instruction video ive seen, th
Thank you.
You're 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!!
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...
Do you have a video on your vacuuming process
GENIUS! VACUUMING!
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.

Great video thank you
You're welcome!!
This was great.
Awesome video. It sounds easy but I cant get my pool right for nothing. Im on my 3rd time draining 1/2 my pool in 2 weeks. All my numbers are off range. Saturday my pool was blue yesterday it turned green.
Sorry to hear that.
I you follow this video you should be fine. I have an inground pool and the only extra step I have to take is to add calcium.. Seems like you're not adding enough chemicals. My pool has never been green and I'm not experienced.
@@Lyfehurts66 I solved my problem. My cya was very high. It would not take the chlorine.
The pool place had me adding the wrong chlorine granules to my water. When I started using liquid chlorine everything was perfect. My water is so clear and pretty. Check out my recent pool post on my channel
@@Lyfehurts66 the pool store gave me all refund on all the incorrect items they sold me.
@@Lyfehurts66 Yep.
