I bought what i knew i needed bc I know my water from our 15 foot pool i also recommend testing your water 1st. Baking soda is cheaper. And i love those chlorine tablets your using
We upgraded our 500gph pump to a 1500 gph pump. Right now we just have our pool hoses twisted inside our other pump hoses. I will order the parts soon :) lol but yes the pump that came with the pool was horrible. But imma have to cut my pool and it's a quick set pool. Thank god they put those thick like 5 or 6 in circles on the pool. And we are also looking to get a skimmer :)
Hey I didn’t realize there’s so much to do for an above ground pool LOL. I think the calcium stabilizer if I’m saying that right is for hard water. I live in Parker Colorado and the water is very hard and leaves calcium deposits on my Fossetts and things with water if I don’t clean regularly. Just thought I’d let you know thanks for the video enjoy.
Awesome Review and Modifications! I Ordered the rectangular one from Best Way that is 18 x 9 x 48 and it comes in 2 weeks ! I’m so excited and I’m definately gonna look into that magnetic light and the skimmer ! I’m sure they would be compatible with Best Way , right?
Thank you for the great video !! Have had these pools for about 10 years and am moving to a better pump now that grandkids are swimming - had algae issue for first time last year I also bought this same skimmer and my pump doesn’t cut it. Just checking if plunger valve is what I need to convert from 1.25 hose to 1.5 or will I need something more - an adapter or something ?
Hi! Great video! I was wondering though..was there no tarp under your pool? Or have you placed sand? I am installing my own tomorrow and was checking the website, the intex guys are saying strictly no sand..
lol nerds. The bottom line is you want a level ground. Sand is good at helping to level as well as cover all rocks and things that could pop the liner. I actually did put the tarp thing they give you in the package under the pool as well. In my opinion it’s all about what are you putting it on. A nice level grassy field, fine no sand, but yeah.
I was told if its the intex sand filter pump , it its straight plug and play with the standard hoses that came with original filter pump , why did you have to buy the T valve split?
Because their are two different sizes. My pool just happened to be the smaller hoses. And the bigger pools have the larger hoses. So if you upgrade to a better pump really built for a bigger pool to get more efficiency, then you have to look into the hoses sizes.
Hi, I am looking at purchasing this pool - please can you do me a big favour and tell me the diameter of the pool to the outmost outside edge ( i.e. including the steel poles etc). I need this measurement to determine if it will fit where I want to put it. Im worried that the 15ft measurement is inside edge to inside edge. thanks in advance to anyone who gives me this measurement.
Helpful video. I bought an Intex 15x48 pool and upgraded to 3000 gph sand filter (smaller ones were sold out). Do you think the inlet air adapter kit that comes with the small 1000 gph pump (item 12368 and 12365) is okay for the larger sand filter and pump, in terms of pressure and no leaks? Or should I install the larger inlet kit that came with the pump (which means that i need to cut the liner to install it...). Thanks.
Did any of you all have to plug into a GFCI plug though the pump came with one attached to the end? Im reading all this about grounding the pools with rods and having electrician come out to modify or create a GCFI outlet. All to avoud shock.Now I am overwhelmed.
Pietro......as far as having an electrician ground pool with rod.....that's for pools that stay out year round, not pools that are meant to be taken down for the season.
mayra aguilera last summer before the pandemic they had all of them at Walmart it was pretty pricey though. Think I paid a good 100-200 for all of that
Hii love 💦💧how you have your pool 🏊♀️ and the cool 😎 accessories! I looking into getting pool magnet light did it for me & Intex pretty popular!! but question? With the water pump filter comes with sand??
Carla Lopez I’m like 5’7 and it came to my belly button or a little higher. So yeah. But I mean generally you know you bend down and swim a bit and such. It’s comfortable for sure.
Why you not simply change the water daily / after 2 days? If sweet water is paid, then you can use underground/earth water and use RO filter. You don't need any cleaner and chemicals.
Asad Raza change the water? Lol that’s what the pumps job essentially is. It filters the water. The chemicals help keep the Hp stable for human skin to not be irritated.
Most people have a water bill ... I couldn't imagine how wasteful and time consuming that'd be.. it takes mine about 10 to 12 hrs to fill up and to drain a pretty long time
I am Tera nope, just went to target and bought it one day, wanted a pool for the summer lol. Now I’m a pool guy. I replaced all the plastic bolts with steel ones, just for the fun of it, it’s my first year with it, time will tell, thanks for checking it iut
Pearl of YAHUAH I do recommend it. That’s what I did, put a sand floor underneath. It helps protect against rocks and such tearing the linear. But it will settle down you can’t really count on it for maintaining level, that’s why in reality the ground work has to be done first then sand bed then pool tarp then the linear. That’s what I did and mine was still out 2 inches haha. But I tried my best.
Hitoshi Otaku haha I know last year they weren’t in short supply. I got this last year, back when it was normal and only $200-300. Do not pay $1000 for this pool, it’s not worth it.
They are hard to find right now, and a lot of price gouging is going on. Academy had some online a few days ago for $300 (I got one) but they sold out fast. I've seen them on other websites for up to $900 (for the same pool). Keep an eye out for when they are back in stock at academy.
They are definitely lying to you about your hair ugliest hair do i have ever seen looks like you just rolled out of bed you been sleeping on your forehead all day 😂 but if your wife likes it that’s all that matters
You kind of sound like Seth Rogen! Thanks for the video. Helpful as we’re setting one up this weekend!
Edith Espino haha yeah I’ve heard that one before. No problem, let me know if you have any other questions I’ll do my best to help.
Thank you! Truly appreciate that.
Who else is watching waiting for there pool to come

Steph Hannah yep that’s how I did it.
Thanks for the info on the pool vac! Glad I saved my coin! Lol
Cool! My wife has been wanting a pool. We are either buying a new house with a pool or just get one of these...lol
How did the pool hold up? Just purchased mine at Target hoping for the best!
Still got it up! Ready for this summer indeed
M S......did u remove grass and level ground before u installed pool?
@@ericmuller3339 I did. And I had sand delivered
@@ericmuller3339 yes I did and then got 3 tons of sand for underneath
Man great video and nice set up
Juan Carlos Torres super sayayin thanks Juan
Also i bought 1in tablets off amazon and they suck I had to dump the whole container in it bc it just wasnt working...now my chlorine level is fine

@@insanedrummer89 thanks!! I'll try it out! hopefully my liner will last!
Yeah I mean the intex liner is strong!
Very Very useful info, thanks
Awesome video! Thanks so much.
Before covid, I bought this pool for $450 CAD, and now its costs $2000 CAD...
I know man pool costs are nuts.
I am working on it now :)

Guillermo Ortiz everything I purchased for my pool is in the links in the description, thanks!

Gonna work with the bar were building outside.
I’d say so. My wife and I love ours.
Thank you Seth Rogan!
Joe caramico it’s Ed sherran to you.
Lol
Great video! Are your pavers ontop or level with the sand or ontop or level with the dirt?
Tony Ramos didn’t put any down. Just compacted the sand and out the pool trap over the sand and then put the pool on top of that.
Helpful video. I bought an Intex 15x48 pool and upgraded to 3000 gph sand filter (smaller ones were sold out). Do you think the inlet air adapter kit that comes with the small 1000 gph pump (item 12368 and 12365) is okay for the larger sand filter and pump, in terms of pressure and no leaks? Or should I install the larger inlet kit that came with the pump (which means that i need to cut the liner to install it...). Thanks.
SS MM I had to cut the liner too bro. Did the same thing. It’s a hairy process but once it’s all said and done you have a much cleaner pool
@@insanedrummer89 Thanks for the quick reply.
Thanks for the video! What did you do with your pump after you replaced it with the sand filter/pump?
Rebecca Kendall just kept it in my shed. You can sell them but eh, not worth much.
thank you.
Cool set up. how many fit comfortably in that size pool? we are a family of 4 looking to buy one. Thanks !
Next Level Realty the first couple of days I had it set up a bunch of my friends came over! And that was 6 people. Super comfortable.
Im going get one now thanks 😊
I have the exact same model pool,, anyone know where I can get the liner,, or know the year, mine is grey, I keep finding blue ones
intex said that liner is discontinued anyone had any luck using a different intex liner of the same size ? I mean a 15ft is a 15ft?
Stay Cool....Cheers!!
How did you get the output through the original 1.25" hole? Did you cut yourself?
I did cut it haha then used flex seal
Did any of you all have to plug into a GFCI plug though the pump came with one attached to the end? Im reading all this about grounding the pools with rods and having electrician come out to modify or create a GCFI outlet. All to avoud shock.Now I am overwhelmed.
Pietro Curatolo yes you need to plug into a GFCI outlet outside for your pump indeed.
Pietro......as far as having an electrician ground pool with rod.....that's for pools that stay out year round, not pools that are meant to be taken down for the season.
Where did you buy the 5 pool Clorox containers for the pool the ones with the color lids at the end of the video?? Thanks
mayra aguilera last summer before the pandemic they had all of them at Walmart it was pretty pricey though. Think I paid a good 100-200 for all of that
do you take it down for the winter? (where do you live?)
ashley _projects I did, but it’s because I’m building a deck in my backyard.
Hi, I was wondering is it 15 ft like from one side to another or like the perimeter?
The middle circumference
Hii love 💦💧how you have your pool 🏊♀️ and the cool 😎 accessories! I looking into getting pool magnet light did it for me & Intex pretty popular!! but question? With the water pump filter comes with sand??
Ali Bronze006 good question. Nope you have to buy the pool filter sand bags and fill it up.
How deep is it for a 5’2 person ? Where would the water reach for that height
Carla Lopez I’m like 5’7 and it came to my belly button or a little higher. So yeah. But I mean generally you know you bend down and swim a bit and such. It’s comfortable for sure.
Can you keep it up all year or no?
Maddie W as long as you cover it up yeah. CZcams vids on “winterizing pools”
Mostly just chemicals and a pool cover.
How many legs does the pool have to put the pool up? Thanks.
Pretty sure 15, since the diameter is 15.
Why you not simply change the water daily / after 2 days?
If sweet water is paid, then you can use underground/earth water and use RO filter.
You don't need any cleaner and chemicals.
Asad Raza change the water? Lol that’s what the pumps job essentially is. It filters the water. The chemicals help keep the Hp stable for human skin to not be irritated.

Do you have a link to the t plunger valve. I have the index 15x 48 prism pool and just bought the same sand filter. I need to figure out the t
Plunger T: amzn.to/2GR67mJ
Thanks for watching Cindy, have fun with your pool.
Where did you get that
? Cuantk te costo la picina 😥😥😥!para comprarme una
I only know English, my bad!
@@insanedrummer89 she asked how much was the pool to buy one
Yancy Lazo I think I paid $200 something at target last year with tax and all
Si ay como nadar ?
Samantha Silva haha. How to swim? Or can you swim? You can swim a little bit, 15ft worth.
How did you make the plunger valve fit on the pool where u turn it off at
mr- Louisiana you called it. I had to cut the opening bigger on the outflow side.
@@insanedrummer89 what's the part the plunger valve plugged into
Did intex send you this pool for review? Some people are saying the prism frame suck
I am Tera nope, just went to target and bought it one day, wanted a pool for the summer lol. Now I’m a pool guy. I replaced all the plastic bolts with steel ones, just for the fun of it, it’s my first year with it, time will tell, thanks for checking it iut
Hey how long did it take to fill up?
Idk I’d say maybe 8 hours or so
Pools in 2020...3-5 times thier price why do you not recommend sand floor
Pearl of YAHUAH I do recommend it. That’s what I did, put a sand floor underneath. It helps protect against rocks and such tearing the linear. But it will settle down you can’t really count on it for maintaining level, that’s why in reality the ground work has to be done first then sand bed then pool tarp then the linear.

@@insanedrummer89 thank you for that info
The 52 pool
52 “ deep pool !
Where did you get this?
Hitoshi Otaku haha I know last year they weren’t in short supply. I got this last year, back when it was normal and only $200-300. Do not pay $1000 for this pool, it’s not worth it.

what size pump?
Caroline Chisham link in the description! :) “sand filter pump”
@@insanedrummer89 when you click on the link for the pump it just pulls up 3 sizes to chose from 10 12 or 16?
Ed Sheeran, why didn't you buy an underground pool?
Blew on my money at the casino
@@insanedrummer89 hahaha makes 2 of us.
holy mess
All you need for a sparkling pool is house hold bleach and baking soda, much cheaper
They are definitely lying to you about your hair ugliest hair do i have ever seen looks like you just rolled out of bed you been sleeping on your forehead all day 😂 but if your wife likes it that’s all that matters
