You're sooo right! Just can't get enough. So smart, so wise, so insightful.

Hi! Yes, we still use the cartridge filter. I change it after 6-8 weeks but manually clean it every couple of weeks by spraying it clean with a higher pressure nozzle on our garden hose. If you go with a sand filter let us know how you like it. We've always been curious about those. Best of luck!

We have ours on a 2hr per day timer. Enjoy your new pool!

@@ditchingnormal1344 THANKS!!

Hi! We never had any issues with them being close together. Best of luck!

Hi! The only rust spots we had in our pool were due to chlorine tablets being dropped directly in the pool, on accident, and not in the floaty it's supposed to be in. Direct contact with chlorine caused the spots. Other than that, we haven't had any rust. As far as the permit and HOA question goes, I don't know. Hopefully your HOA managers can help answer that. If they do say it's considered permanent, you could maybe do an above ground version. We have one above ground now at a new house and love it just as much. Best of luck!

We use the pump connected to our heater to drain the pool. We simply disconnect it from the heater and set that side of the hose where we want to drain. You could also use your main pool pump to drain it. Just disconnect the hoses from the pool connections, put one hose inside the pool and the other outside. We definitely never let it flood the pump box. Best of luck!

Hi! It obviously depends on the starting temperature of the water. If I'm remembering right it heats it up about 10 degrees per hour. Best of luck with your setup!

@@ditchingnormal1344 Thank you for responding. Did you have to dip your tank housing hole deeper than the stock tank itself? Our pump will not pull water from the tank into the pump so it never comes to pressure.

Hi! We have really dry soil here and very little moisture in the summer so we just backfilled with dirt. You definitely have the right idea to backfill with something to help with drainage though if you have moist soil/clay. If you are putting your pump underground as well you may want to consider a sump pump to make sure it doesn't flood. Obviously all depends on how much water you get. Best of luck!

We have a heater setup with our stock tank but it's tough to keep it as hot as a hot tub when temperatures outside cool off at night. Good luck with whichever you decide on!

@@ditchingnormal1344 hey thanks!

We used our pool pump to pump it out. Thanks for watching!

Hi! I don't know for sure, but I have read that these pumps may not have enough power to pull water uphill. Again, just guessing, but if that is the case you would obviously need either a stronger pump, or would need to lower the pump to the input level on your pool. Best of luck!

@@ditchingnormal1344 Thanks for taking time to answer!!

Yep, yep. I did a thorough cleaning of my stock tank this way without draining. I have the same filter and used the same vacuum as the ones in the video. Adding a flocculant, cleaning my filters, and upgrading my pool vacuum seemed to do the trick to removing the cloudiness. The point of the flocculant is for particles to clump together and sink to the bottom. It took a ton of vacuuming but I eventually got a clearer pool.

Hi! We sold the home last fall. The pool was in good shape still when we left it.

We don't get a lot of rain here. If there was ever a storm, we would cover our entire pool and pump box with a tarp. Thanks for watching!

Hi! There is a temperature reading on the water heater we have. It would show temps of 127-130 degrees pushing into the pool making me believe it could get very hot if you wanted it to!

We only had a solar cover at the time. I believe it was a combination of an extreme heat wave and not having enough chlorine in our pool when the pool temp got above 90 degrees. A cover may have helped though, you never know!

Hi! We didn't have any shipping options where we lived for this pool. Since then, we moved to a farm town where we had a new tank delivered by a farm and country store for $35. ...which was definitely cheaper than a uhaul.

Thanks for checking it out!

Lol! Thanks for the kind words!

We sold this home last fall but it held up great for the 2 years we had it!

Hi! I spread the dirt behind our fence line behind our house. If you don't have room to do that, I would recommend putting 'free soil' up on craigslist. You'd be surprised how many people will come grab it. Especially this time of year. Good luck with your project and thanks for watching!

Hi Dave! We just recently sold that home but the pool was in good shape when we left it. The only rust spot we had was due to renters dropping chlorine tablets directly in the pool instead of using the floating dispenser. Direct contact with the chlorine tablets can cause rust pretty immediately. Outside of that, we didn't have any issues or signs of rust for 3 years of using the pool. If I were to build this again, I would likely add the epoxy 'pond paint' just to add an extra layer of protection to extend the life of the pool as eventually it would get some rust. Whether that would happen in 5 years or 10, I am not sure but it would likely happen. Good luck with your project!

@@ditchingnormal1344 great to hear and thanks for the quick reply. I will be picking one up this weekend and getting the paint now because I can’t see myself doing it next season. Really appreciate the tips, thanks again!

Hi! Nope, just a firm scrubbing brush that we'd normally use for the bathtub or shower.

Hi Michael - the drone shots are from a DJI Spark. The rest are either from our cell phone camera or Sony A3 Digital Camera.

Hi Ann! We did not paint the inside.

Hi Pam! If it is in-ground like ours, you would need to use a pump to get the water out. You can just used the pool pump you already have but just unplug the output connection from the pool and point it wherever you want it to drain. Good luck!
