This was by far the best thing i found in putting our pool pump up. So clear and step by step. I literally watched, then paused and did the step, then hit play again. I cannot thank you enough for this video!!
This man is smart enough to know how stupid I am. And teaches accordingly. Doesn't just explain what to do but what not to do, like not drop the o ring, and dont just randomly try to push out the wrinkles but in the one direction. No need to argue, just do it how he says. No cutting corners. Thoughts of suicide will go away and you will be swimming the dream! (Thanks to this video! )
Thank you so much for this comment. It's people like you that keep me going with this UA-cam thing just knowing I helped one person out there makes my day. Thank you again.
I sure do enjoy watching your videos. My grandpa passed away in 2008 and he took so much knowledge with him that I wish he had taught me. Thank you for your videos.
I just love listening to this man talk and explain to me how to do each step. His demeanour, manner of speaking and explaining things, and accent come off as so patient and comforting.
Thanks to you I was able to set up the filter system! I wouldn’t be able to do it without you! This is the best video out there for newbies like me! Now we can enjoy the pool for the season!! Thanks again 😊
Thank you so much for this video! You saved my marriage. 😂 We had a terrible time getting the legs in the holes I finally thought to use some baby powder. Dry shampoo works even better because you can spray it. Just wanted to share that because I was about to lose my mind.
Sir, Thank you so very much for a perfect explanation in setting up the pool and filter system! Our ground has been preset to the previous pools. We dug the ground dirt out a couple of inches deep. Leveled the sand. Placed stone in the dirt and sand for the poles. I also used insulation blue foam for cushion. So your help was extremely helpful in installing the pool and my first time with a sand pump. I had used a good size water pump that lasted 20 years ago. Thanks again from PA. Your Brilliant 💙
Thank you much for the comment. I have other pool related videos in my Pool Related play list that you may find helpful also. Thanks again and God Bless!
Thanks for the video paw, I learned more from you than I did from my 3rd grade teacher while drinking from a sippy cup ❤ you made it very easy to learn and kept me engaged
Thank you for a very informative, easy to understand and follow explanation of pool setup. We bought this same pool, only in the 20 foot version. You are very good at explaining things.
Glad it was helpful friend. I also have other pool related videos in my Pool Related Playlist that you may find helpful also. Thanks for the comment. God Bless!
Glad to be of help my friend. I have other pool related videos in my pool related play list that you may find helpful also. Thanks for the views and commenting. God Bless!
Glad it was helpful. Thank you much for commenting. I also have other pool related videos in my playlist that can save you time, money and frustration with your new pool.
Thank you for the water filter idea got one on a mister ill use on refill. Filled up 14' one but ground settled n 3 inches(liner cubes) higher on one side. gotta drain n redo no chemicals yet so water is going to tree n dirt watering😬 ty again sir
Your welcome and thank you for the views and commenting. I have other pool related videos in my Pool Related playing that you may find helpful also. Thanks Again!
My t connectors didn’t have the snaps on them for the legs. There were holes in the top of the legs and I was wondering about it. I got it put together. Hopefully it’ll hold up.
I really appreciate this video. It's late in the season (Aug 8th) here in Michigan, but I just got done doing all the ground work. I'll be setting this pool up tomorrow. Hopefully my daughter can enjoy it for a few more weeks this summer. At least it'll be done for next year. Anyhow, I have to have my water trucked in. Will I be able to set the pavers before any water is in the pool? I'm sure the water delivery guy isn't going to want to sit there and wait on me to dig out and place 18 pavers plus stretching the pool liner out after filling the first inch of water. They do know I have to stretch the liner after the first inch of water though and agreed to wait while I do that.
You should be able to get them close enough before getting the water. Just make sure to get the liner good and stretched and they should be close enough. Just remember to keep leveling the legs as the pool fills because once it's full you want be able to move them.
That depends on what your water looks like. As per what I do, Once the pool clean and I only shock ours about once every 3 weeks. I have othe pool related videos in my pool related play list that you may find helpful. Thank you and God Bless!
The number of these aboveground Intex pools I have installed a recommendation for the indented sand bottom you mention at 33:30 is to go to Home Depot or Lowes and get some 3/4 to 1 inch foam boards tape them all together and cut them into the shape of the bottom of the pool then put the ground cover on top of it and it works perfectly with these vinyl above ground pools and it's softer and way cheaper than using concrete.
Question: We put up the pool last night and put about an inch of water in it - We set the pool on foam BUT we forgot to put the ground cover down --ugg -- is the ground cover necessary?
Thank you for this video! I don't know if I would've got my pool up without it! Do you just put chlorine tablets in a floater? Any & all advice for what chemicals I need to keep my pool water clear is greatly appreciated.
This one did not come with the strainer basket, that was extra. as for the chlorine tablets, I use a floater that just floats in the pool to put the tablets in.
So you should put a inch of water in your pool and get the wrinkles out then straighten your posts then add your paver blocks u see them I was told to dig them I to the ground not set them in top of the ground that the water pressure will break them overtime ?
@@papawsplace will it hurt the bottom of the pool if the liner come out on the ocms once filled up I'm using four inch colid block was afraid two inch would break over time with all the water weight I know some peoples.there did not sure if it was because there's wasn't level or wat but we used a transit the pool is dead on level but it looks like some of my blocks when we start putting water in that the liner once it starts pushing out some will be on the blocks and may cause a hold I did dig down into the ground four inches for my blocks my blocks are not sitting on top of the ground.
It sure will, after erecting my pool, I then came back and put clay soil over the sand around the pool so the grass would grow and not let it wash out.
I back wash mine about every 5 or 6 weeks no matter what the PSI is showing. The pump seems to have more return pressure when keeping the sand filter back washed.
@@papawsplace if you have a lawn that's uneven like mine is, if each pool supporting rod was adjustable surely it would be easier too level off the pool . I don't know why they don't make them adjustable it would make life easier then sticking things underneath like I have seen some people do on UA-cam, it's up to the manufacturer,s.
With UV degradation the manufacturers don't even need to design in planned obsolescence. They just make everything out of plastic and they know you'll be back in a couple of years with an open wallet. The quality of your video was great. Your phone or camera does an outstanding job. Your editing isn't half bad, either. One little thing, though. When you were talking over the sound of that pump running, I could barely hear you.
Chick grass to grow in a bucket of gasoline 😂. Im in Tennessee and we puttin in the foundation now for the same model pool as you but a 24'. We hot everything under the sun growin here too 🫤Hardest and most crucial part is your foundation and that its level

Not sure, this was the first INTEX pool I've ever erected.
Life saver for that pump install! Awesome job!

Hey brother, can you send some of that warm weather up here to NC, I was gonna open our pool today but it's 55 degrees and raining
54* at the moment but the warm is coming to NC I promise. @Savage I’m In Kannapolis
👍 On the way 😂

@@papawsplace thanks, will do. I have a square post level I plan to use on the legs.
I bought the exact same one only 24’. Legs came with holes but T adapters on top didn’t have the button on bottom for legs
Hot as it is here now we need to put ice in it to cool the water. LOL
This is a great help
Glad to be of help thanksfor commenting.
Can you leave this up over the winter or do you have to take down each season?
I live in NE Louisiana, I leave my pool up all year.
I do remove my pump/filter once the weather get to freezing temps.
Thank you PawPaw!!
YW and Thank you for the comment.
Perfect. Ty
Thank You!
Exact pool we are looking to get. Looking to have it setup as well and maybe a small deck.
Thank you for commenting, here is a link to my above ground pool deck build. ua-cam.com/video/vQl978Q3nWc/v-deo.html
Nice video
Thank you my friend.
Thanks Pawpaw! I have same pool 16x48. How much shock do I add?
That depends on what your water looks like. As per what I do, Once the pool clean and I only shock ours about once every 3 weeks. I have othe pool related videos in my pool related play list that you may find helpful. Thank you and God Bless!

Yes, if I was setting one up on concrete or Hard level ground that would be the way to go.
Question: We put up the pool last night and put about an inch of water in it - We set the pool on foam BUT we forgot to put the ground cover down --ugg -- is the ground cover necessary?
If you set the pool on foam board it should be good to go.
What happened to your Coleman pool and deck?
Our pool is good. This was our friends pool.
This was not for us.
It seems like you're waisting a lot of water that you just put into the pool when turning the pump on. Is there anyway around that?
That's why I backwash my filter after a big rain that fills the pool to the top.
Thank you for this video! I don't know if I would've got my pool up without it! Do you just put chlorine tablets in a floater? Any & all advice for what chemicals I need to keep my pool water clear is greatly appreciated.
I have videos in my Pool Related Play List that will be very helpful and save you lots of money.
I got the SX1500 sand pump with Intex 16x16 pool and it didn’t come with strainer basket kit! Where do I put chlorine tablets? Any help is appreciated
This one did not come with the strainer basket, that was extra. as for the chlorine tablets, I use a floater that just floats in the pool to put the tablets in.

You want the top of the pavers to be level with the bottom of the pool.

I would put some sand between the blocks and the liner just to be on the safe side. I wouldn't want the liner touching the blocks.
@@papawsplace will play sand wash away with heavy rain storms ?
It sure will, after erecting my pool, I then came back and put clay soil over the sand around the pool so the grass would grow and not let it wash out.
But don’t you leave foot depressions when your inside the pool getting the wrinkles out?
I believe I said that in the video. unless you're on hard ground you will get small impressions. I still prefer the sand beneath mine.
How often do you backwash your sand pump?
I back wash mine about every 5 or 6 weeks no matter what the PSI is showing. The pump seems to have more return pressure when keeping the sand filter back washed.
@@papawsplace thank you sir👊🏻
great vid, id suggest not covering the blocks with sand until the pool is filled because you may need to slide them around on the paver
As thin as the sand was over the blocks the legs still moved easy. I just wanted to make sure the liner didn't touch the blocks as it filled.
You were the only one who described the filter and everything else perfectly! Excellent job! Thank you!!! ❤
Thank you! Glad to be of help.
I have the same pump I set mine on 2 and yes it will run 2 hours then off and then back on every 2 hours
Thank you!
What about the blocks touching the liner?
The liner shouldn't be setting directly on the blocks if you have a ground cover and sand over the blocks.
Great day Papawsplace that was some workout😅, excellent video answered a lot of questions Thank You 😊
Why don't they make the support rods adjustable .So you can level them off it seems such an obvious essential piece of design.
Not sure what your referring to?
I just erected the mans pool for him. LOL
@@papawsplace if you have a lawn that's uneven like mine is, if each pool supporting rod was adjustable surely it would be easier too level off the pool . I don't know why they don't make them adjustable it would make life easier then sticking things underneath like I have seen some people do on UA-cam, it's up to the manufacturer,s.
OK, I thought you was wounding why I didn't make them adjustable. LOL
Sorry for my miss understanding.
How many legs does this pool have
I would have to rewatch the video to answer that.
With UV degradation the manufacturers don't even need to design in planned obsolescence. They just make everything out of plastic and they know you'll be back in a couple of years with an open wallet.
The quality of your video was great. Your phone or camera does an outstanding job. Your editing isn't half bad, either. One little thing, though. When you were talking over the sound of that pump running, I could barely hear you.
Thank you! I have a mic but never have it with me whin i need it. LOL
What happened to the deck?
This belongs to someone else.
I just erected the pool for them.
Those plastic hoses only last one year, then they break the sun kills them
Yes sir, the hoses are cheap made for sure.
Grow in a tub of gasoline lol
