I have found keeping the top ring really inflated helps with the kids hanging on the side. Inflated and it works great. If it's not fully inflated, they WILL smash down the sides and out comes the kids and the water (only happened once). The ring on my current pool leaks (somewhere ) and needs to be reinflated everyday..but the sides stay up, no water spilling. FYI: I am still using the same pump I bought for my first Intex pool, 8 years ago. I run mine 8 hours everyday (at night) and the only fila is the o-rings rotting. thanks for your video
I suggest buying a saltwater system. The pump that comes with it is fine, it'll last for at least 2 years, and you don't need chlorine with the saltwater system. I've had the saltwater system for like 2 years now, and it is AWESOME!
thanks for the info. with the saltwater set up do you also have a sand filter with it? starts to add up cost-wise after only spending $200 for the pool! :-)
I bought the 2000 gph saltwater system and filter pump combo on craigslist for $60, you can buy the saltwater unit alone, but I do understand the money factor. :)
Alexwilson225 you say you use the salt water system and the pump that comes with this pool is fine. so i do not need to buy a special pump for the saltwater system? & will you tell me what is the difference with the salt water system ? do you just buy the pool salt & dump it in then you dont need the chlorine tablets ? & how often do you have to add salt? thanks
the pump that came with it, as small as it is ( the pool is 8' x16') , so the pump works just fine, I clean the filter twice a week, I use 1 chlorine tab a week & 1 clear balance ph tab a week, I just put them in the same floaty ( Wal Mart is the cheapest by far for the clear balance & Amazon is cheapest by far for the chlorine tablets ) & then every 2-3 weeks ( depending on how much toxic mold rain we get ) i shock the pool . I like it to stay sparkling clean & this seems to do the job, it is very easy to keep up. the salt filters are expensive & this one works fine & if i need to replace it, its cheap. but THIS is what is falling into our pools EVERY DAY ALL DAY, because THIS is what the U.S military & the establishment "government" is SPRAYING INTO OUR ATMOSPHERE & IT ALL FALLS DOWN INTO OUR WATER SUPPLIES, OUR FOOD SUPPLIES, INTO OUR SOIL, IF YOU NOTICE THE MOLD ON ALL THE TREES ( MOLD IS EVERYWHERE NOW), so the pool depending on its use has to be shocked every 2-3 weeks , they say once a week , but i am the only one who uses the pool & with changing the filter ( i wash it out & use 1 filter at least 10 times ) .

Wish I did more research. The quarantine has made pools a high value commodity and didn't think about my yard not being level. Hopefully I can sell it to someone in town. Not like they can find one somewhere else.
I had the 12' and I didn't lose much air at all. Maybe put air in it 3x the first summer. Second summer my kids popped the ring and couldn't get it patched up enough to hold air for more than a few hours. Probably need to get more product.
Can you explain what pieces go inside the pool relating to the filter? Please be specific. I can't find this anywhere online and the directions with this pool are crap. Other than leaving this out, you gave excellent directions. I couldn't for the life of me figure why I had three holes in the pool, two connections on the filter and four pieces of hose. You're the only person who explained this and how to hook it up. Now all I need to know is which pieces go where inside. If you could take a video of your pool from the inside that would really help a lot.
I'm trying to recollect by memory here. So the filter has plastic tubing that runs into the actual vinyl. I recall 3 holes. And if I recall correctly, you will insert the 3 plastic adapter fittings into the vinyl pool and cover them (from the inside) with the circular plastic filter covers. They should screw on by hand fairly easily. I think that's it. Let me know if it helps.
Yes, there are three pieces that go on the inside of the pool. Two of them are called a strainer grid. The third one is called a inlet jet nozzle. I need to know which one goes where; i.e., going from left to right. It really doesn't specify in the directions which cover goes where. Mine also came with a fourth hose with some other connector piece which I'm not even sure I need. It says that not all parts may not fit "your model." These directions are clear as mud...lol
Well, the strainer grids need to go over the 2 parts that suck in the dirty water toward the filter. Those 2 holes and parts should be closer together than the outlet/cleaned water hole. But I don't recall if the outlet part (cleaned water) has a filter grid.
we get a new unit each summer so i have accummulated 3-4 new pumps as the original one still work. we may not get one this yr though, might be done. but this pool worked great for us for 4 summers (4 new ones).
We used to have this pool BUT the wasps kept gettin to the ring which popped holes in it :( Ring never stayed inflated RIP. So long story short we upgraded to a metal frame summer waves elite pool! 14x42! We absolutely love the thing and would never go back!
Mine came with a z shaped lifter thing for the third tube hole (the one that goes back into the pool), Maybe you were missing part. I do think they put that hole up too high in the pool. It should be lower so that it does spray out when the water level gets low.
These are great pools I’ve played in many of these over the year one things is please don’t leave your little ones in there by them selfs it could be really dangerous with that stupid blue ring that pops like a balloon
Hi! Great and informative video! I live in the Midwest where it snows, so would you suggest to unassembled this pool every season? Or just buy a new one every season?
the pool can certainly be cleaned, dried, and stored. it's just more work to do it. if you can do that of course it'll save $. totally your call, enjoy the pool.
It may be a while before we set ours back up here in Indiana, but your video was so helpful, thanks. One question that I've seen so many different answers on is WHEN do you use the filter? Most people say while you're swimming, the filter should be on, but should turn it off when you're done. Is this correct information? Also, our pool seems to spread out wide rather than rise up like yours, I wonder if that's how it's supposed to be? There is seam in the middle of the wall of ours that goes all the way around which ends up being at the bottom of the pool.
Hi there. First about yours spreading wide, it should look like mine. The blue ring filled with air should allow the pool to rise up. So long as the pool is laid out correctly before adding the water, and the blue ring is filled with air, the water will fill the pool and you don't need to do anything. I am not sure how it is spreading "wide" but maybe you need to allow it to keep filling more until it looks like mine. As for the filter use, you will hear folks use it and not use it while swimming. I do not use it while the kids are swimming, just to be safe. I have the filter on a timer running probably 6-8 hours a day (late at night), and when the kids use the pool, I don't have it on. Is it probably safe while they are swimming to keep it on, I think so. But I just don't risk it. That's just me though. Thanks for stopping by!
I actually got this pool at Walmart for $97 plus tax, free shipping. Got it a week ago but finally set it up today. Very similar to the Intex, only 3 feet tall (not 4 feet tall). Not convinced the quality is as good as the Intex as the shape is inconsistent and funny looking. But we'll try it out today. Water took 6 hrs to fill.
I have owned the 15 and the 18 foot EZ SET pools,the filters that come with them are horrid . I switched to the salt water pump which is much better. Once you have done this before 15-30 mins is about right on the set up time
You where missing an important part on your pump... the part where you said always tends to shoot the water upward, you where missing the oxygen outlet
Great video!! I just bought a 10x30 Intex and it took me all day to set up alone. My concern is how much chlorine/ shock ingredients to use in this type of pool. Any ideas, please help!! Thanks!!
Do you have a filter running? If so, you won't need all that much chlorine for a pool that size. I'd start with a 1" tab in a floater and test it every other day with a test strip and go from there. Shouldn't be too complicated. Have fun!
Thanks for your quick reply. I finally set it up, preparing for our 108* degree weather here in California, and trust me it took longer than what it says on the box! Great video btw
Due to all public pools being closed because of covid-19, we bought a 12' round Intex pool. Most installation videos or guides say to install it on the grass/ground. Unfortunately, our backyard is not level and is soft and marshy due to water retention issues. We plan to install ours on our concrete patio, but are nervous since very few seem to do that. Have you had any issues with it being on concrete?
hi kd, as red ace said, you can drain using a hose and attaching it to the bottom side of the pool. it is fairly easy, just use gravity to your advantage when positioning the hose.
Do you think it's worth just using for a one year olds birthday party then taking it down? Pretty sure my hubby won't want to mess with the maintenance. I just wanted to throw him a pool party but also wanted the convenience of having it at home. Was also thinking of maybe getting the 12 foot but I don't think it comes with the ladder.? Pool rental venues are so expensive and my son doesn't even have any friends yet. Lol well, sorry for rambling and Thanks for the video though, going to show my husband
hi, putting it up for a day or two and then taking it all down and letting it dry out fully will take some effort. it just depends on how much effort you want to put into it. for a 1 yr old though, maybe a simpler, smaller pool, the kind you just blow up and fill? i am sure you will be careful but just remember this pool is 4 feet tall. have a great birthday party!
It seems like every video on setting this thing up SKIPS the inflating of the ring. Everyone wants to make it look easy but it isn't. I was gong to use my air compressor to blow it up but the damn thing comes with a huge pump connection and it makes it impossible to just use a common air compressor. I had to go out and buy their pump too.
Hi, the pump is just fine, mine has lasted 2 seasons already. It has done the job just fine, although others I know have replaced it. Seems hit or miss.
it's very easy. your pool came with small caps, like suction cups. so turn off your pump. then stick your hand/arm into the pool and put a cap onto the hole where the tube is. this will block the water in the pool from going into the tube and pump. do this for all 3 lines. then check your pump/filter. once done, remove the caps and turn your pump back on.
i dispose of the pool each year, so we use it only for 3-4 months and then it's gone. looking to get one again soon. sorry i dont have anything to update at this time.
Did you use 3" chlorine tablets? I read on the back it says to use those with 10,000 gallon pools so I am hesitant that it will be too much for this 4,000ish gallon pool. But at the same time - the tabt dissolves and you can close the floater to allow less to dissolve so I am tempted to use them anyway. Help! Hahaha
hi, yes i am using 3" tabs. i actually am using the summer waves 15x36" this year, so it is even smaller than the intex. i do close the floater adjustment and make it smaller though. no problems.
Thank you for a great video! I will be setting this up on a concrete surface as well. I read online that it better to have a polystyrene foam board underneath if putting directly on concrete. I see that you didn't put anything other than the liner provided under the pool. Did you have any issues putting it directly on the concrete without foam boards or other thicker lining material under the liner provided? I am wondering if I really need the foam boards...
Hi, I didn't use anything but the blue liner. I did sweep the area to clear any rocks/stones/debris before laying the blue liner down. The pool held up fine for me. Enjoy!
Hey, just got one of these things and I'm setting it up next week hopefully. Once I get it filled, what chemicals should I put in to start it? Just test it and add chlorine tabs in the floater?
Yes pretty much. Everyone has different water chemistry but you should be okay just using chlorine tabs in a floater. I use the test strips (one time use, disposable) and it tells me pretty much all I need to know. For me, I didn't have to adjust much apart from using the chlorine and Arm&Hammer Clear Balance tabs (optional).
How did you center the floor? Is there a center mark? Is the outside seam Supposed to be at the very bottom of the ring before you put water in it? Thanks, Chas
Center the floor? Do you mean level the ground? If you mean center it where you want to be kinda got to eye it best you can. Inflate the pool then start to fill
Toree , Yeah center the midpoint of the pool...levelen’s been done....thanks for your reply....we ended up with major fold at the drainage plug....prolly have to drain and start over. Chas
LC Turnatrax Thanks! Second time did the trick...it’s perfect now p, but now the ring is loosing air...time for the diluted detergent walk around, spill......look for bubbles, walk around spill... look for bubbles ...etc, rinse and repeat
How many hours do you run your pump a day I’m having a problem with my pump It’s spilling lots of water when I turn it off? I’m not sure if I’m doing it right I first turn off the filter and then close the inside of the pool any suggestions?
i run mine 4 hrs per day. if it's spilling water from the top of the filter, make sure the top screw is on tight enough. dont overtighten but it should not leak water if tightened up.
Hi quick question I would love to know how deep this pool is because I'm ordering it and I need to know before Next weekend for a pool party I'm not sure if the question was answered or not prior to me asking but I would love to know thank you
How deep is the actual pool bc I know it isnt 48" deep?? We just ordered a 12 by 30 quickset and have owned a 15foot by 33in metal frame and we owned an 8foot by 30in quick set
hi, i run it for 4 hrs per day, usually starting at 9pm and ending at 1am. i dont think it would hurt to run the filter even 6 hrs / day, but i do 4 hrs. enjoy!
Hi Brandi. Well, in terms of how we used it last summer, we loved it and then threw it out after the season (probably 2 months of tons of use). It wasn't all that easy to drain it and dry it and store it. For $185 (+ tax), we threw it out and we're getting another one this summer :-) Love the pool. Kids have so much fun in it. So nice to have a pool in the backyard as it changes the entire dynamic of home life. Fire up the BBQ, kids running around and into the pool, late into the night even. Just fantastic. So update is we're ordering another soon.
LC Turnatrax Save your money and don't throw it away after summer. Cover it with the pool cover. Had an intex pool lasted me years. Only reason I took it down was because I got a bigger pool. Great video.
Curious what your weekly maintenance is even with the pool cover? Also, if it rains hard, doesnt the pool overflow? I may consider keeping it this time around unless the maintenance is not worth it. Thanks.
It should be pumping water out of one of the 3 lines. I assume you have enough water in the pool so that the 2 other lines are taking in water to the filter, then the filter is pushing out water from that output line? Make sure the water level is high enough so that water is going into the filter from the 2 lines. Otherwise I am not sure what to tell you besides to check the filter itself for any blockage or possibly defect.
Hmmm not sure why it wouldn't rise high enough. Did you inflate the blue ring? If so, you should be able to simply fill the pool with water and it will rise to the point where it's high enough. Not much else to it. Are you giving enough time for the pool to fill? It does take a while...
Matt Peulen funny that you comment today, we just filled up a Summer Waves 15 foot by 3 foot pool. I'll try to post a quick video of it later today. ask for filling up there's not a whole lot to it besides laying it out as best you can and turning on the water. blow up the blue ring while the Waters filling up. let me know how it goes
I'm going through the same thing today. I set one up (15X48) last year and I don't remember it being this frustrating. The shape isn't coming together well and the wrinkles are impossible to get out. I just don't remember having those issues last year. :(
You're not going to get all the wrinkles out. This one we're trying this year is 15x36 (not 15x48) but it's very similar in every respect. We laid out the floor as best we could (me and the kids), and it still has wrinkles here and there. Just do your best and the water should fill fine. How exactly is it not filling and forming correctly? There is only so much you can do.
I just bought the exact same pool you said you got and will be putting mine on a large piece of carpet in the yard. I bout half a dozen rolls of carpet remnants from a local guy and I have one that is 15' so I'll be using that underneath between it and the ground. I haven't opened the box yet so I don't know if there's chemicals inside or anything like that... would it be safe to swim in it a few days before going into town to buy the floater thing? And if so, what did you buy for yours? (chemical and tester wise?) Thanks in advance for any help.
That's a good question. I don't know for sure since we don't have it up right now. My hunch is 48" actual depth but I am not for certain. I'd call Intex and ask and they should be able to confirm for you.
Jimmy im digging down 4 feet for half of the pool and trying to make a deep end. That will make 7 1/2 feet on one side the other side will be 3 1/2. I think its brilliant
Thank you for this video. I just had it delivered & was scared to death about the actual setup/maintenance but you really made me feel like I can do this. Thank you! ❤️
@@lcturnatrax6690 I drain, dry and clean the inside and fold it up for winter storage. Then I power wash it when I get it up for the season and its been like new every year. I think Ive gotten my moneys worth and then some! Best of luck with your new pool!
yes working great. although i do get a new one each season. got our 15'x48" all set up and been using it for the past 3 weeks. Kids loving it still. thanks for chiming in.
thanks so much! You're the ONLY one who showed me why I had 3 holes for hoses

Thank you that was very helpful as a guideline to setting up my pool. You are the only one I could find to tell me the exact footprint of the pool.
You're welcome!

Shepherds hooks are perfect for holding up the hoses

Just buy a sand filter pump.
Where u get the pump?? Online??
Use a pump for an air mattress to fill the upper ring.

There are probably people who bought this pool so they can go skinny dipping.
Looks like you are missing the air inlet piece on the outside of your water inlet, where you state that it is pulling down.
Mine came with a z shaped lifter thing for the third tube hole (the one that goes back into the pool), Maybe you were missing part. I do think they put that hole up too high in the pool. It should be lower so that it does spray out when the water level gets low.
intex added this "Z" piece a few months after my video. the next unit i bought the following year i received the "Z" piece. it works as it should.
i sent that pool back eventually the top rim deflates in the sun. i sent back . good video and instructions

Due to all public pools being closed because of covid-19, we bought a 12' round Intex pool. Most installation videos or guides say to install it on the grass/ground. Unfortunately, our backyard is not level and is soft and marshy due to water retention issues. We plan to install ours on our concrete patio, but are nervous since very few seem to do that. Have you had any issues with it being on concrete?
we have only used ours on concrete, never on grass. 4 summers and no problems at all.
Hello, thanks for the video. We are thinking of getting one this summer. How do you drain it?
There is a drainage thing that you unscrew on the side of the pool. It easy enough.
hi kd, as red ace said, you can drain using a hose and attaching it to the bottom side of the pool. it is fairly easy, just use gravity to your advantage when positioning the hose.
Whats the tax in California on $200? $487?
sounds about right :->
just got one from Walmart on clearance for 25 dollars
El Smith THE WHOLE POOL?!?!?!?!?!?
El Smith dang!!
Second time i see the same comment in different videos. 😂😂😂
You are so freaking lucky..
Oh yeah El Smith? I got mine on clearance for $2.85! ASSHOLE!
Do you think it's worth just using for a one year olds birthday party then taking it down? Pretty sure my hubby won't want to mess with the maintenance. I just wanted to throw him a pool party but also wanted the convenience of having it at home. Was also thinking of maybe getting the 12 foot but I don't think it comes with the ladder.? Pool rental venues are so expensive and my son doesn't even have any friends yet. Lol well, sorry for rambling and Thanks for the video though, going to show my husband
hi, putting it up for a day or two and then taking it all down and letting it dry out fully will take some effort. it just depends on how much effort you want to put into it. for a 1 yr old though, maybe a simpler, smaller pool, the kind you just blow up and fill? i am sure you will be careful but just remember this pool is 4 feet tall. have a great birthday party!
It seems like every video on setting this thing up SKIPS the inflating of the ring. Everyone wants to make it look easy but it isn't. I was gong to use my air compressor to blow it up but the damn thing comes with a huge pump connection and it makes it impossible to just use a common air compressor. I had to go out and buy their pump too.
I actually talk about the ring inflation and also show what I used. Anyway I am glad you got it going.
zaneyone1 Use leaf blower
I used the piece that came with my excercise ball worked great
How long did your pump last or is it still going strong? I have one but not sure the suction is very strong and considering another pump.
Hi, the pump is just fine, mine has lasted 2 seasons already. It has done the job just fine, although others I know have replaced it. Seems hit or miss.
Why did you stop posting
help! my input hose isnt flowing. How do I detach the hoses with water in pool to check the filter and clean that?
it's very easy. your pool came with small caps, like suction cups. so turn off your pump. then stick your hand/arm into the pool and put a cap onto the hole where the tube is. this will block the water in the pool from going into the tube and pump. do this for all 3 lines. then check your pump/filter. once done, remove the caps and turn your pump back on.
Wish me luck I got the same size on wish.com. Thank you for this video better understanding then the Book
Nancy Wright never get anything from there its a scam
Any updates, 1 year later?
i dispose of the pool each year, so we use it only for 3-4 months and then it's gone. looking to get one again soon. sorry i dont have anything to update at this time.
Did you use 3" chlorine tablets? I read on the back it says to use those with 10,000 gallon pools so I am hesitant that it will be too much for this 4,000ish gallon pool. But at the same time - the tabt dissolves and you can close the floater to allow less to dissolve so I am tempted to use them anyway. Help! Hahaha
hi, yes i am using 3" tabs. i actually am using the summer waves 15x36" this year, so it is even smaller than the intex. i do close the floater adjustment and make it smaller though. no problems.
We have the same pool and I’d use the 1 inch tabs. We have some 3 inch ones so instead of wasting them maybe I’ll try what he said and adjust
i have this one :P outing it up tomorrow or the next day
Why haven’t uploaded in 4years
That's about the only thing i don't like about these Intex, one depth pools. It's difficult to get onto a raft.
Can you explain how to install the pieces for the left side of the pump, please?
the upper rings loose air cuz of sun the sun apparently makes the air dissapear idk how but that happend to me xDDD
lol
Thank you for a great video! I will be setting this up on a concrete surface as well. I read online that it better to have a polystyrene foam board underneath if putting directly on concrete. I see that you didn't put anything other than the liner provided under the pool. Did you have any issues putting it directly on the concrete without foam boards or other thicker lining material under the liner provided? I am wondering if I really need the foam boards...
Hi, I didn't use anything but the blue liner. I did sweep the area to clear any rocks/stones/debris before laying the blue liner down. The pool held up fine for me. Enjoy!
I got mine for $330 with $40 rebate from sears . But mine came with the vaccuum aswel ! I guess thats not bad
Hey, just got one of these things and I'm setting it up next week hopefully. Once I get it filled, what chemicals should I put in to start it? Just test it and add chlorine tabs in the floater?
Yes pretty much. Everyone has different water chemistry but you should be okay just using chlorine tabs in a floater. I use the test strips (one time use, disposable) and it tells me pretty much all I need to know. For me, I didn't have to adjust much apart from using the chlorine and Arm&Hammer Clear Balance tabs (optional).
LC Turnatrax perfect! thank you, you think plu ger valves would help the sag on the hose?
How did you center the floor?
Is there a center mark?
Is the outside seam Supposed to be at the very bottom of the ring before you put water in it?
Thanks,
Chas
Center the floor? Do you mean level the ground? If you mean center it where you want to be kinda got to eye it best you can. Inflate the pool then start to fill
Toree ,
Yeah center the midpoint of the pool...levelen’s been done....thanks for your reply....we ended up with major fold at the drainage plug....prolly have to drain and start over.
Chas
@@hesynergy sorry to hear that. hope it works out for you though.
LC Turnatrax Thanks! Second time did the trick...it’s perfect now p, but now the ring is loosing air...time for the diluted detergent walk around, spill......look for bubbles, walk around spill... look for bubbles ...etc, rinse and repeat
QUESTION I see you out yours on concrete I am having trouble in my yard leveling it right.
Do you think I could put mind on concrete w no problems ???
i've been using mine on concrete for 4 yrs. but make sure the ground is level, be it grass or concrete.
How many hours do you run your pump a day
I’m having a problem with my pump
It’s spilling lots of water when I turn it off? I’m not sure if I’m doing it right I first turn off the filter and then close the inside of the pool any suggestions?
i run mine 4 hrs per day. if it's spilling water from the top of the filter, make sure the top screw is on tight enough. dont overtighten but it should not leak water if tightened up.
18PacTL+S oh ok maybe the pump is defected thank you
Hi quick question I would love to know how deep this pool is because I'm ordering it and I need to know before Next weekend for a pool party I'm not sure if the question was answered or not prior to me asking but I would love to know thank you
Desiree Smith hi it's 42 inch tall filled up, the blue ring on top adds another 6 in.
How deep is the actual pool bc I know it isnt 48" deep?? We just ordered a 12 by 30 quickset and have owned a 15foot by 33in metal frame and we owned an 8foot by 30in quick set
i believe it is about 42" deep as the top blue air ring is another 6" or so. enjoy the pool
How do you have your timer set up?? Meaning how long does it run everyday and what times does it run??
hi, i run it for 4 hrs per day, usually starting at 9pm and ending at 1am. i dont think it would hurt to run the filter even 6 hrs / day, but i do 4 hrs. enjoy!
Is there a store that has these pools in stock.
How do you vacuum the bottom?
Hi i just bought the same pool. Do i need a gfci outlet? The only ones i have outside are the 3 prong.
you should be fine. the filter should have a built in GFCI on it. be safe.
LC Turnatrax oh ok thats great! thank u so much!
I lost air and water n my pool
How much you buy it?
Hi there...any updates? We are thinking of getting one!
Hi Brandi. Well, in terms of how we used it last summer, we loved it and then threw it out after the season (probably 2 months of tons of use). It wasn't all that easy to drain it and dry it and store it. For $185 (+ tax), we threw it out and we're getting another one this summer :-) Love the pool. Kids have so much fun in it. So nice to have a pool in the backyard as it changes the entire dynamic of home life. Fire up the BBQ, kids running around and into the pool, late into the night even. Just fantastic. So update is we're ordering another soon.
LC Turnatrax Save your money and don't throw it away after summer. Cover it with the pool cover. Had an intex pool lasted me years. Only reason I took it down was because I got a bigger pool. Great video.
Curious what your weekly maintenance is even with the pool cover? Also, if it rains hard, doesnt the pool overflow? I may consider keeping it this time around unless the maintenance is not worth it. Thanks.
how do I know if my filter/pump is working? It's not shooting out water, however when I first plugged it in it did
It should be pumping water out of one of the 3 lines. I assume you have enough water in the pool so that the 2 other lines are taking in water to the filter, then the filter is pushing out water from that output line? Make sure the water level is high enough so that water is going into the filter from the 2 lines. Otherwise I am not sure what to tell you besides to check the filter itself for any blockage or possibly defect.
LC Turnatrax I brought the pump back to get the exchanged, I set up the new one and it didn't work at all. It made a noise for a few mins than stopped
Faith, I would contact Intex and ask about this. I am not sure what is going on with your set-up. Feel free to report back and let us know.
It comes with 3 black plugs that have to be removed after the pool is filled. otherwise the water has no where to go.
15 min first time
And how much does it cost?
Where did you buy the pool from
Cool
Does it come with a pump
We have the same pool 😁
How do you get yours to rise my pool keep spreading and not rising that high
Hmmm not sure why it wouldn't rise high enough. Did you inflate the blue ring? If so, you should be able to simply fill the pool with water and it will rise to the point where it's high enough. Not much else to it. Are you giving enough time for the pool to fill? It does take a while...
How’d you get it so straight up?
not sure how to answer that one. just laid it flat, put water in, and while it was filling up, i inflated the blue ring.
18PacTL+S thanks man. I guess it’s a weird question.
Ours went all wonkydonked....thats why im watching....hoping to find a solution....

Do the inflatable ring comes with the pool
yes it does
what is your cost
Any hints on filling? We are trying this for the first time and not having any luck getting the nice shape.
Matt Peulen funny that you comment today, we just filled up a Summer Waves 15 foot by 3 foot pool. I'll try to post a quick video of it later today. ask for filling up there's not a whole lot to it besides laying it out as best you can and turning on the water. blow up the blue ring while the Waters filling up. let me know how it goes
I'm going through the same thing today. I set one up (15X48) last year and I don't remember it being this frustrating. The shape isn't coming together well and the wrinkles are impossible to get out. I just don't remember having those issues last year. :(
You're not going to get all the wrinkles out. This one we're trying this year is 15x36 (not 15x48) but it's very similar in every respect. We laid out the floor as best we could (me and the kids), and it still has wrinkles here and there. Just do your best and the water should fill fine. How exactly is it not filling and forming correctly? There is only so much you can do.
I just bought the exact same pool you said you got and will be putting mine on a large piece of carpet in the yard. I bout half a dozen rolls of carpet remnants from a local guy and I have one that is 15' so I'll be using that underneath between it and the ground. I haven't opened the box yet so I don't know if there's chemicals inside or anything like that... would it be safe to swim in it a few days before going into town to buy the floater thing? And if so, what did you buy for yours? (chemical and tester wise?) Thanks in advance for any help.
LC Turnatrax I think we just can't find a completely flat spot maybe.
Is it 42" water depth plus the 6" top ring or an actual 48" water depth?
That's a good question. I don't know for sure since we don't have it up right now. My hunch is 48" actual depth but I am not for certain. I'd call Intex and ask and they should be able to confirm for you.
Jojo Ma I think its 42"/40"" water depth, and a 6"/8" top ring. My 15x36 pool had 28" water depth but it was a different brand name.
I believe its 42 inches or so plus the ring.
Jimmy im digging down 4 feet for half of the pool and trying to make a deep end. That will make 7 1/2 feet on one side the other side will be 3 1/2. I think its brilliant
@@pookdawg81 How'd that work out for you?
Bhai iskka price kitna hai
is your pool's length's 8 inches?
123 456 that makes no sense. So if i pull my pants down that would be the length of the pool. Smh
Mike Yea If that’s the case it would be 8 cm.
Thatdude101 I think you made a mistake. 8 cm is the same as 3.15 inches. I think you meant to say 8 micrometers. Now that's more like it.
7 hours maby use 3 garden hoes or 4 it will be easier to fill belive me
yeh i've only got 1 hose nearby. so 7-8 hrs for me.
lol I used one hose. Apparently at our new house we don't have a flow regulator. it took only a couple hours to fill. :)
wow that's nice. we're in so-Cal so we are regulated in every way. you know, drought stuff. are you sure you aren't using a fire hydrant? :-)
Yep, I'm sure :)
Awesome Video!
Thank you for this video. I just had it delivered & was scared to death about the actual setup/maintenance but you really made me feel like I can do this. Thank you! ❤️
:)
what a cm???
😮😮😯
Can dogs swim in these?
Yes but just like any other people not to let them get on the rim. You need to carry the dog out.
Thanks for the response!
I have that pool
Did it ever leak?!? Im going on 4 years with the same exact pool. My family loves it!
hey there. i dispose of mine each year. just got another one from amazon @ $160. putting it up in a few days! enjoy it!
@@lcturnatrax6690 I drain, dry and clean the inside and fold it up for winter storage. Then I power wash it when I get it up for the season and its been like new every year. I think Ive gotten my moneys worth and then some! Best of luck with your new pool!
Justin Creach Justin what’s your social media can I ask a question
What is the price of this pool and is it available on Amazon. In and ebay. In
It used to be available on Amazon but doesn't look it is now. It was under $200.
Is it still working?
yes working great. although i do get a new one each season. got our 15'x48" all set up and been using it for the past 3 weeks. Kids loving it still. thanks for chiming in.
How deep is it
Jaylon Hunt 48 inches.... it says...
