We just bought this model today. We bought the 15x33 model last year and left it up over the winter. The entire side of the pool ripped so yeah...definitely best to take them down lol But we used that thing daily last year and it was amazing.
I love your pool video, I'm considering buy this after watching your video. I'm in Canada too, can't leave it for the winter, can you do a video when you take it down for the winter? Also let us know how it is holding up for the second summer. Thanks again for your very informative video 👍
Mines the same way, if they are making waves in the water the top of the filter is just sitting on the pump and water will come out of it like your having if the water (waves) are going thru the pumps water intake and hitting the filters cover.
Im also in canada ajd my dad swears by leaving the pool up all winter. Accoeding to him you get leaks when you fold these things he just drains half the water, covers it and lets it freeze
I was going to leave mine up but I wouldn't do to the material (not heavy enough to hold up to the winter weather) in my opinion, but I agree if you don't fold it properly you could be effecting the material where it is bonded together
@@PovertyPointCustoms I think you are saying you don't need solar blanket and I am kinda experimenting with the cover now. We've had very poor weather here in Eastern Canada for all of May but I did manage to get my pool up to 75F. I think it's because I left the cover on but not sure. It's quite a learning experience here and I do have a solar blanket coming to do some testing.
I've seen review of people having trouble with the pool tearing at the seams. I notice in the instructions that it says to allow the liner to sit in the sun for 2 hours before setting it up, and wonder if these people skipped this step. Did you do this?
Your gonna want to keep the ladder out except when your using it or it’ll rust.. we’ve had our 18x48 for 7yrs it’s never been taken down but we live in Ky. USA
I keep mine on most of the time other then when I am cleaning it (so it's on from June to September almost full time with no issues so far). And it's small so it is cheap to run. Some people run it for a few hours a day but I think it's best to keep the water circulating. So make sure to keep the filter clean (I clean it ever day or so with the hose as it only take a min to do).
I don’t know if you will reply but we are thinking about buying this pool and your videos have been the most helpful by far! Do you think it would be okay to leave the pump running during the day while we are using the pool and turn it off at night? We have a fenced in backyard and our dog stays back there. He’s crazy and I’m scared he might chew the pump cords if we have to keep it plugged in 24/7. I thought about building something around the pump so he won’t mess with that but I’m just worried about the cord. You did an awesome job with the landscaping around the pool and awesome videos! Thank you so much.
You will love the pool I am very happy with mine. I leave the pump on 99% of the time. I'm fortunate that I only have cats so I don't have to worry about them getting around the cord as they are inside cats :) The only complaint I have with the pool is I wish it was a few inches deeper. This year I will be building a fence around mine, after my deck projects are done. We take our pool down for the winter, so hoping to get it setup towards the end of may. Cheers from Eastern Canada.
I'm on my 2nd year with the pomp and knock on wood it still working fantastic. My pool is put away for the Winter time so the pump is only running for 4 months out of the year.
I have had this pool for 2 years and the pump died this year. The rotor blades actually broke clean off and were deposited in the bottom of the pool. The pumps are not known for longevity, but those that really enjoy their pool typically upgrade the pump anyway.
The filter works great but I clean it usually every 2 days. I add chemicals normally once a week, 454 grams of Shock It from Walmart, and it stays crystal clear. If it is used a lot I may add 1 and a half a week.
I actually did video on how to take it apart, it shows how to take out the plastic clips, let me know if it helps th-cam.com/video/N2NbAdgZUL4/w-d-xo.html
@povertypointcustoms great review, thanks. Did it cause you any issues that your pool was 2 inches unlevelled? I just finished filling up my pool and it’s 3 inches unlevelled. Did you notice any structural issues with your pool being 2 inches unlevelled?
No issues at all, the frame and liner were fine when I took it down in the fall. I've seen even new hard sided pools unlevel by an inch or 2 and they leave them like that. I bought the 16 foot by 48" pool for this year, hoping to setup in the next few days
It’s my first owning a pool, does the pump have to be running 27/7 and it’s electric? So would be I be able to use an outside extension cord? Because I don’t have an outlet outside
I run my between 8 and 12 hours a day. Just make sure you keep the filter cleaned every day (take it out and rinse with a garden hose) as well make sure to keep the pool chemicals at the proper levels, and it should stay crystal clear. You should be fine using a heavy duty extension cord but you should be plugged into it gfc outlet though.
I have a yard with pavers, there is a significate pitch (unlevel) that I will need to raise the pool on the one side. What would work best to raise it beside using sand?
We have the 14'x42" the cover wont stay on. We have to take about 6 heavy duty clips and clinch the material together...Any tips? and are they considered a true solar cover?
No, I just kept an eye to make sure it didn't settle to much, I'll be setting it back up this week and I'll be adding alot of sand to the entire area especially the low spots and will tamp it down to hopefully have no more settling.
I didn't notice much of a difference in the power bill, maybe 10.00 a month. I pay a yearly water bill so my water bill didn't change as we do not have water meters.
Nice video I also have the same size pool, I have the shock bag 1 pound that I have is good for 15000 gallons for this pool its 3512 gallons how much shock should I add to it? And I also keep the solar cover on. Filter on Sometimes we dont swim through the week would that affect on the input of shock?
I am wanting to see the video on the ground prepping. I am getting the same pool soon and need to get the ground setup. Also with a 14 foot pool, do i need to make a 16 foot circle for it for the base?
I would definitely make the circle larger (a foot or so more then the size of the pool). Attached is a link on how to level the ground, and once level I would put a inch or so of sand down to smooth it out so their are a rocks poking up. th-cam.com/video/-sx-te7yYMs/w-d-xo.html
They are cheaper then that new but most places are sold out so 400 is not a bad price, I've seen people asking 600 plus for a new one here due to them.being sold out everywhere
I use sock-it granular chlorine in a 454 gram bag (you can get it at walmart or costco) once a week, clean the filter ever 2 days and use a net to collect amy debris as well cover the pool nightly and the pool stays crystal clear. Also my pool was filled with city water.
It is much easier if you have 2 people putting the cover on, easiest way is to have someone on the other side of the pool holding the other side of the cover and then gradually making your way around the pool pulling the cover approximately 2 to 3" over the side and making sure that both sets of ties to tighten it are fairly tight before you start.
I had a small hole in the liner when it was under warranty and got a replacement from the company. It's probably cheaper to buy a new pool though then to just buy the replacement line.
If I'm covering it for a few days I will put in a package (full) to keep the water nice and clear, and if its being used daily I'll put about a quarter of a package in daily and it stays clear (but make sure to clean any debris leaves etc out daily also). My pool was filled with city water that has some chlorine in it already.
I have the same pool as MF and I can't even get the cover on at all. We try to slide it on and by the time we get to the far side the first side has fallen in. I wouild like tips too please!!
If you have 2 people, one on each side then work your way around the pool is much easier to put it on but make sure the ties to keep the pool cover tight are tightened before putting it on then tighten tight after. If you are by yourself I start on one side and get the cover on a few feet then go to the opposite side and do the same then gradually work around. It's much easier with 2 people for sure.
@@penguin12902 thats why you plug it into a gfci outlet, that way you not only have the outlet breaker that will trip, but also the plug that connects to it also has a circuit breaker too. Double protection
Shock is what I purchased for my pool I get it from Walmart or Costco it is chlorine that is granules and is in a small package. I usually add a small bag of shock weekly. I am on city water which I fill with my pool and has chlorine in it to start off with so I usually start off by putting one bag of shock in and I have had no issues with it staying crystal clear. If you are on well water you may end up having to add 2 bags of shock. Let me know how you make out
I just put up the 16x48 (but haven’t filled it yet). Any tips on getting the wrinkles out of the bottom? Also, it showed as completely level before putting it up, but when we put the 1” of recommended water in, it did seem to pool a little bit more on one side. Any tips on that?
If you have 2 people we were able to pull the bottom pretty snug across to get most of the wrinkles out (it's hard with just one person). I had mine perfectly level but when filled it was off by an inch or so and never caused any issues. How off is yours with just a bit of water in?
I have mine half filled and I notice slow seepage coming from under the pool. I'm worried it's a leak.I am afraid it may break at the seams and collapse.
I would drain it and see if you can find where the leaks coming from. There are alot of great repair kits that should seal it easily. If you drain the pool try to drain the water away from it so you can find the wet area under the pool so you can have a rough idea where to start looking for the leak , let me know how you make out.
I'll be honest the pump that has came with it has worked flawlessly for me. I just make sure to keep the filter clean ever 2 days as to not clog it and overload the pump. Mine also stays on 24-7 from June till September
How do you get the cover to stay on mine always falls off so have givin up on putting it on and just a life saver if your pump ever stops working take the plug apart let it dry mine did this when set it up this year and took it apart and it works amazing now
The first time I set it up it took a few hours, the second time maybe an hour with a helper. Once you know how to do it, it's very easy to do. Definitely can be setup fairly easy if it's your first time doing it
How high is your water we just bought and set up 16x48 but there is a small drip from the bottom of where the pump meets the liner I’ve got the screw on pretty tight so anyone have any insight maybe I have too much water first time with this brand
Ours is a 42" deep pool but when the water is full it is only 36 and a half inches deep. The 42" is to the top of the pool, so yours should only have roughly 42 inches in it if the top of the pool is 48" high
I cover mine every night and if it's nice out during the day time I make sure I take the cover off to let the Sun get to the water to warm it up, would love a small heater though!
Mine hasn't faded very much, I've heard of people having issues with it fading from chlorine settling at the bottom if there pump isn't on to circulate the chlorine.
I use a 1 pack of Soc-it (chlorine) and make sure the pool filter is cleaned a few times a day when the pools really cloudy, by doing this I was able to keep mine clear. And once the water is clear you can clean the filter every other day, and add the pack of chlorine weekly (with this size pool)
@@PovertyPointCustoms I've used the stock pump for like four years then I got a sand filter. BIG difference in the clarity of the water 💧 and u don't need to run it as often 😉

I literally have the exact same pool but the dimensions are 16 x 48. I’ve had it since 2018 and it’s great 👍.
The Phenomenal One what are the exact dimensions for 16x48? Im asking because I have a limited place and want to be sure before buying.
Felix Muniz Yup 16 x 48.
How much did your cost?
Babygurll Zyy $299.99
Is it expensive on your electric bill to keep the filter running?

Thank you.
Can you also make a video of yourself putting it together I’d like that if you did that I wanna make sure I’m doing everything just right
Good review, Thank you.
Your very welcome
According to the instructions in mine, sand is not what is supposed to be used for leveling. Probably better to use top soil and tamp it down.
Hi I have a question ... why does the water come out from the top of the filter while the kids are in the pool? Thanks
Mines the same way, if they are making waves in the water the top of the filter is just sitting on the pump and water will come out of it like your having if the water (waves) are going thru the pumps water intake and hitting the filters cover.
Ours does the same thing so annoying if you find out please let me know
They should of made the pump better
same love pool but for some reason that solar liner/cover wont stay on not sure is it shrunk or something but definitely hate it 🤬
I agree, wish they were better quality

Definitely let it sit in the sun, it makes it a 100 times easier when you feed the brackets through the liner.
Can you plug it into an extension cord or does it HAVE to go into an outlet? Our outlet cover is preventing the GFCI plug from fitting.
If you have a heavy extension cord you will be ok, definently in a Gfci. Happy swimming:)
We used a 30guage work heavy duty extension cord for ours
When you place the support bars do you have to pull/stretch it out to expand the pool liner?
We pulled the bottom of the liner out so there were no wrinkles in the bottom

I have this pool and don't suggest buying it. It is way too shallow. The index is a bit deeper.
I heard complaints about the pump dying quickly or being weak, do you have any issues? and how long have you had the pool

Are other pumps compatible with this pool? I have a sand filter
As long as the connections are the same at the pool you will have no issues using another pump
I have same pool this pump it comes with sucks get a sand pump on Amazon I think a 300gps
Is it trust that with a big pool like this the water and light bill is way higher because of the pump

@@PovertyPointCustoms ok great thanks. I've never had a pool thought there was a lot more to it. I too am from the city
Got the same pool. Came to ask how you get the cover on. Pretty sure my cover isn't even big enough.
It is much easier if you have 2 people putting the cover on, easiest way is to have someone on the other side of the pool holding the other side of the cover and then gradually making your way around the pool pulling the cover approximately 2 to 3" over the side and making sure that both sets of ties to tighten it are fairly tight before you start.
what tarp did you use?
It's just a standard (cheaper tarp) from home depot
Have you ever had to replace the liner if so who did you go thru to get it
I had a small hole in the liner when it was under warranty and got a replacement from the company. It's probably cheaper to buy a new pool though then to just buy the replacement line.
How many times did you put 454 gr of sock?
If I'm covering it for a few days I will put in a package (full) to keep the water nice and clear, and if its being used daily I'll put about a quarter of a package in daily and it stays clear (but make sure to clean any debris leaves etc out daily also). My pool was filled with city water that has some chlorine in it already.

That's for the 18 foot, the 14 foot is $298 (online)
Do you balance pH levels? Do you use Chlorine tablets Or just use shock?
I've just used shock and have had no issues, my initial water was city water

Hello can you tell me how many hours to fill pool? And how much to fill it? More or less??
Apx 12 hours using city water (garden hose) we are on a yearly water bill with a fixed rate so we can use as much as we want (no water meter)
Hi good video. Can you let me know if can run the pum with the cover on.thanks
Yes you can, I run mine 24-7
Does the pump have to be on while swimming in the pool.
I leave mine one while we are in it, but you could certainly turn it off while swimming then turn it on when done.
You should never swim with the pump plugged in, it's an electrocution hazard! If you had voltage leaking into the pool you could be shocked or killed.
@@penguin12902 thats why you plug it into a gfci outlet, that way you not only have the outlet breaker that will trip, but also the plug that connects to it also has a circuit breaker too. Double protection
I have that...I still prefer to just unplug it. GFI failure is unlikely but possible.
Hi, i like to know what are you doing in winter with the pool??
I take it down then reset up in the spring (takes about 2 hrs to take down)
Just bought this pool and filled it up ..what is shock? And how much do I put in the pool
Shock is what I purchased for my pool I get it from Walmart or Costco it is chlorine that is granules and is in a small package. I usually add a small bag of shock weekly. I am on city water which I fill with my pool and has chlorine in it to start off with so I usually start off by putting one bag of shock in and I have had no issues with it staying crystal clear.

What’s the best pump to use for this?? Can you recommend a good pump??
I'll be honest the pump that has came with it has worked flawlessly for me. I just make sure to keep the filter clean ever 2 days as to not clog it and overload the pump.
Mine also stays on 24-7 from June till September

How do you get the cover to stay on mine always falls off so have givin up on putting it on and just a life saver if your pump ever stops working take the plug apart let it dry mine did this when set it up this year and took it apart and it works amazing now
We tie the two string ends to the pool frame poles. Then just unfold. Also some tarp clamp straps works not bad too
I haven’t even covered it at all this year because I’m struggling to get it clear
great vid. How much was you pool
I think it was 298.99 Cdn plus tax
Samantha Amenta walmart has them and yes
I have the same pool but I moved and my backyard is smaller, do you think I could custom my pool to a smaller size?
No, you would have to get a smaller one unfortunately
PovertyPointCustoms thank you very much
How hard was it to put up??
The first time I set it up it took a few hours, the second time maybe an hour with a helper. Once you know how to do it, it's very easy to do. Definitely can be setup fairly easy if it's your first time doing it
Any videos on filter timer control how to
What if you live in Peoria Arizona can you keep it up in the winter
You should have no issues then, here it gets close to minus 30 during the winters.
PovertyPointCustoms oh thank you so much 😊
Where did you purchase a cover?
The cover came with the pool
How to set the pump up? It came with pieces
A WHOLE bag of shock??? The guy at my pool store said to use 2 thirds of a bag once a week.
I use a bag and so far no issues to date, and not a strong chlorine smell with this amount.
I have lost the canister to my pool....is this a 1500 or sfx 1000
I have the 16 by 48 and it’s the sfx1500
What chemicals u use to be all blue
All we had to use was sock-it, and cleaned the pool filter daily
is it hard to swim in the cold water or is it fine?
Way to chilly yet, hopefully the water will warm up over the next week or so (the next few days it is suppose to be 20 degrees
Those solar covars are a pain in the rear,and they never worked for us the water was still cold
I agree, almost a two person job to re install
Which ones are those looking for one?
How high is your water we just bought and set up 16x48 but there is a small drip from the bottom of where the pump meets the liner I’ve got the screw on pretty tight so anyone have any insight maybe I have too much water first time with this brand
Ours is a 42" deep pool but when the water is full it is only 36 and a half inches deep. The 42" is to the top of the pool, so yours should only have roughly 42 inches in it if the top of the pool is 48" high
*if the ground is not perfectly level I will have a problem Anyone know? Please help* 🙄
If it is only off by an inch or two you will be fine, any more then that you should level it.
@@PovertyPointCustoms oh okay I understand thank you for answering my question sir ✋🏻
how do u guys heat it up. its always cold, solar cover wud work?
I cover mine every night and if it's nice out during the day time I make sure I take the cover off to let the Sun get to the water to warm it up, would love a small heater though!
I have the same pool n i see yours still has the designs inside mines faded what do you do??
Mine hasn't faded very much, I've heard of people having issues with it fading from chlorine settling at the bottom if there pump isn't on to circulate the chlorine.
How many people fit in it ?
I would say 4 adults comfortably, or half a dozen kids. That way it gives everyone a bit of swim area.
Do you leave the pump on 24/7?
Usually around 8 to 12 hours a day, and make sure to clean the filter every day
how do you clear it up when it gets cloudy ?
I use a 1 pack of Soc-it (chlorine) and make sure the pool filter is cleaned a few times a day when the pools really cloudy, by doing this I was able to keep mine clear. And once the water is clear you can clean the filter every other day, and add the pack of chlorine weekly (with this size pool)
Do you vaccum it also can you show us how that's done
How much shock do you add in each week?
Usually 2 bags of sock-it (I get them from Walmart or Costco, 454g in each bag), more if it's really hot our and if the pool is used alot.
Also pickup a pack of test strips to check the chemical levels
Um I live in Florida aka one of the hottest states in America could the water get really hot like a hot tub
Your probably looking at temps in the mid to high eighties at least if not alot warmer in the summer months, I'm actually jealous!
Those pumps are junk, upgrade to a sand filter. Pretty easy to do.
Knock on wood no issues so far, but I hear alot of good things about the sand filters
@@PovertyPointCustoms I've used the stock pump for like four years then I got a sand filter. BIG difference in the clarity of the water 💧 and u don't need to run it as often 😉
Is it worth 300 $
I would say yes, if we get a few years out of it hopefully. We take it all down for the winter so that will help
Highly suggest upgrading the pump to an intex sand/saltwater asap.

Yes it's worth it very nice pool for 300.00
I’d say it’s well worth it even if it only lasted you one year. $300 for a summers worth of fun for the kids? That’s a bargain!
