These videos are a great resource when sorting through what seems to be an infinite number of pool options. Just settled on this exact pool with your help!

[@roberta.edinger9405]

Thank you so much, I'm glad I could help out.

[@joemalcom7029]

Hi Robert. Love the videos. You give hope for hillbillies like me that love these pools and wouldn’t be any happier had we had a more expensive one. Keep up the good work.

[@roberta.edinger9405]

Thanks Joe! Every time I am in the pool, I can't believe how nice it is for the price. Amazing.

[@jonniebrown611]

I just noticed my arms dealing like they had fibers after I swam. Thank you for clarifying this.

[@azurewinged4088]

We’ve had ours up for 4 winters. Did the intex sand filter conversion. We love it.

[@roberta.edinger9405]

Going on our 4th summer now.

[@iar2966]

What type or size of intex filter ?

[@displacedgranitestater2821]

I was lucky enough to snag one of the 14ft ones at Walmart a couple weeks ago, I think it was $228. Hopefully I get as many years out of mine as you have yours.

[@roberta.edinger9405]

Awesome! Going on my fourth summer now with no issues.

[@jean-rogersmith7900]

Thanks for this video it made me decide whether or not buy it and i think im going for it

[@roberta.edinger9405]

Hope you enjoy it!

Did you take the pool down last summer or did you leave it up all winter long? I had this pool last summer took it down to move and the liner got hard at the bottom and ripped on the seam. I purchased a new one this summer so I'm curious if I should winterize the pool somehow and leave it up or if I should take it down. I'm just afraid it might rip again.

[@roberta.edinger9405]

I did not take it down. So far it has gone thru 2 harsh winters with no problems. Here is a video showing it. czcams.com/video/n0peVmFV0yg/video.html

[@samairaellsworth632]

This may be a stupid question to address the issue with insects critters and algae. Do you just put chlorine water from your pool into those pockets to keep them at bay?

[@roberta.edinger9405]

Yes, it works very well.

[@MyBackyardScience]

Is this after the video where the pool was frozen in the winter? We are trying to decide if we can leave our 5 year old pool up for the winter. We have always taken it apart and stored it for the winter.

[@roberta.edinger9405]

sorry for the late reply but yes i always leave the pool up all year. this will be the forth winter i believe

[@MyBackyardScience]

@@roberta.edinger9405 thanks. We have decided to try it this year. We should be getting our winterizing chemical kit any day now 👍

[@ernmanater1]

Can u send a video on how to hook up a vacuum cleaner to it

[@roberta.edinger9405]

Sure, stay tuned.

[@chesterloybeltran1054]

Hello, did u need a permit before you put it up. I bought one and not sure if this need a permit from the city thank you.

[@roberta.edinger9405]

I did not need a permit however I think it depends on your local area.

[@tracygriffin4563]

You said gou have only used a couple of filters, how do you get them to last more that a week or two?

[@roberta.edinger9405]

Search for my video on how I clean them. I have been using the same filters for over 2 years.

[@juniordedios3919]

You leave your pool out all year or you put it away on winter time?

[@roberta.edinger9405]

I leave it up all year and it gets very very cold here. From what I have read, most pools are damaged from taking down and setting up.

[@Mrpurple75]

We get the bag pools. Only problem is the pump hoses don’t hold up.

[@roberta.edinger9405]

What is a bag pool?

[@RICHIE_RICH89]

For 500$ give ot take or even 999 ypu cannot complain a permanent pool is extremely higher in price. Thats what i figure .i have the summer wake 18 by 32 square pool and like it.

[@geoffreydavis1930]

What happened after it thawed?

[@roberta.edinger9405]

no problems at all, this will be the forth winter i believe

[@babygurllzyy6772]

How much does this cost ?

[@roberta.edinger9405]

Thanks for the question. I just checked the price on Amazon and WOW! I cant believe it. I bought mine for about $250 Good luck.

[@lyricalboat596]

It was terrible for me I just set it up yesterday it already cracked And made a whole

[@roberta.edinger9405]

That sucks. This is my 4th summer with the same pool. Good luck.

[@RICHIE_RICH89]

Soe it together

[@Just.D]

They want 1000$ for this pool on amazon-bad link can get it cheaper at walmart.

[@kevywilliams3304]

The chlorine water on the outside is rotting your pool!

[@Abbygailohemgee]

Why do you have it tied up like that with string?

[@roberta.edinger9405]

I use the string to tie patio umbrellas to the side of the pool for shade. It works very well.

[@lamplight1636]

You sound exactly like a dude on CZcams called dudes with wrenches
