We are going on our third year now with this exact pool. Yes it looks really bad when it bows in but goes away as you fill it. Our back yard is not close to being level rather a hill. We cut into the earth and created a flat spot covered it with paver screening. So far so good. It does get dismantled after every summer it really easy once you get the hang of it. The sand filter and pump works great. Tighten the bolts connecting the pump to the basket housing after every season. They come loose and gasket looses seal. Learned that today. The liner seems tough, the metal poles are holding up. Keep up with chemicals and water crystal clear.
My wife ordered a battery self cleaning vacuum Aeper Smart for like $250 when we got the pool. Working like a champ drop in for 1hr a day and the pool is spotless. I thought I still had to buy the pole, hose and vac attachment but no need with this Aeper Smart.
Hope this helps.
Thank you so much. It is bowing as I am filling and it concerned me, so Thank YOU!
What model and is it Aiper for the brand?
I'm debating buying this pool do you happen to know how many inches those u-joints stick out on the sides? I need to find out the total width before I make the purchase. I can't seem to find that information anywhere.
THIS IS THE GREATEST POOL SETUP VIDEO EVER. THIS POOLS NOT EASY BUT I WATCH HIS VIDEO EVERY YEAR TO REMEMBER HOW TO SET UP.AWESOME.
Ooi
Is it really necessary to take it down every year?

Cool
I am in the process of helping my daughter-in-law and husband with this exact pool. Excellent video, should help greatly in the build!!!
Excellent video. Thanks you. My pool is up now, but still could not find the directions for the filter or ladder so I resorted to looking at the picture on the box. One thing I didn't hear you mention was the Tip in the pool assembly directions, to put Talcum Powder on the poles. I started to do that expecting resistance and quickly stopped when the poles were super easy to thread. Live and learn, but come to find out that it's NOT used for helping threading, it acts like a lube to help the liner twist/adjust on it's own while filling up, especially the last 1/4. Next time, I'll be using it.
Hi, a lot of people are asking "How big is the area required to level and cover for the pool?' The answer is 28 x 18 feet, to allow 3 feet on each side for the supports, walkway and pump/filter, it's nice to have 3 feet on each side to walk around the pool.
Fantastic video! Thank you for making this! You helped my husband and I tremendously! Now we have three happy little boys enjoying their summer! Thanks again!
Hellobi have a question I put all the the u Post level with the ground but they still bowin quite a bit..
@@andyt1573 mine has too! I think unless it’s perfectly level you will have that trouble.
I’m so glad this video came up first! Such a great video & easy. Took 40min for hubby & I to put it together. Solar & ladder instructions were one but figured it out with the pictures it had (hopefully it works). Filling the pool now. Thank you again!!!
Hey did it work I just hit this pool and we are going to set it up soon
Great job on your pool videos! Extremely helpful. Do you have any tips or videos on how to put the pool cover on?
I wish I would have seen your video 1st we actually put the U shapes underneath that band as it was half full we realized our very big mistake, my husband emptied it by about a foot of water and we had to go around disassembling 1U braket at a time. As you can imagine it was quite the adventure the pool is now filling and everything is nice and happy but I sure wish I'd seen your video first!
Hi!!
Did that help with the straight poles not to bend?
Thank you so much. Great videos. Just may I know if we need to uninstall the pool during winter time? Can we close this pool like underground pool?
Very Helpful .!!! Thank you if it wasn’t for this video I was ready to Give up Already ..
Currently setting ours up thank god for your video😭😭😭👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Very helpful and thank you!
Picked up my jeep on the way home I picked up this pool! Looked up this video and now I know why I decided to pick it up with my jeep!
Literally a step by step! Thank you so much!
Hello. If you clean algae, will the filter pump clean it out for you? Or do you have to manually take out the algae? Thank you for your video
Best video to set up pool I've seen so far!
Hi Does the stop of your control valve leaks ?? I tightened my screws but it still leaks water . It leaks when Turning on the pumps. Any recommendations or videos?
Hello…been watching and learning from your videos! Thank you! Have a question…did you like the landscape fabric under your pool? Any issues? We have seen suggestions about the “Rhino Pad” and wasn’t sure which way to go..thanks
I’ve had good luck with landscape fabric. Cheap and easy
For the pools first use do you need to add any shock or chlorine? How soon after it is full can you use the pool?
This is the best video! I watch every year in setting up our pool! Thank you!
Great videos, thanks so much just finished the main setup. Unfortunately Bestway didn't include the shorter pump to filter hose or the third hose from the pool B side to the pump..... now trying to navigate customer service/assistance from Bestway and Costco. Ordered an Intex hose from Amazon this morning so hopefully it'll work.
Did intakes hose work?
Thanks for the video. The solar mat has to be under the sun?
Do the gray filters on the inside of the pool that you point at minute 8:21 stay in that place pretty much all the time? As in, the only time you would take them out, was if you needed to switch them out for the black plug/stoppers? Thanks so much!! I really appreciate your videos.
Thank you.. I really used your video and it made all the work much easier... oh and I own a jeep so I'll be a loyal subscriber for that too.. take care
Very helpful video got our pool up in no time!
Great video I have a question I have a same size pool is there a drain hose included for draining the pool. Or do I need to buy one. Or do you have a video on draining the pool. Ty
Mine came with an attachment so I can use my regular garden hose.
Great video! Thanks so much! One question about the installation instructions mentioned using talcum powder on the top rail to extend the life of your pool. Do you recommend this and are they saying to just rub it along the top outer edge. Thanks again for all the help!!!
I needed this video a week ago 😂
Thanks, helped a ton!
Pool question…does the solar heater make much difference in water temp? Was wondering if it was worth hooking up? Thanks for all your videos…really helped us with our 1st above ground pool 🤗
Yes, my parents have this pool and we just bought one over winter. You can get the pool almost "too hot" with the solar heater.
Great, very helpful. Was very surprised about the first two videos because they were only filled to 70 to 80 at best and badly bowed on both sides. I to take a lot of time putting mine up but it diffenatly pays off.
I actually seen a video on how to cover it with the cover we had this problem also he used baby hangers that have clips on them to hold down as he goes and he put rope across the pool going across it like a web to hold the tarp up so it doesn't sink in the pool I will attach the videos link if I can
First my brotha !!! This was like the best video i have ever watch kept things easy😁that being said my side legs are hanging a bit, will that be good once it's filled up 😰
I’m having a really hard time with the B outlets and how those are supposed to be set up? When I try to get into the basket in the filter how do I do that without loosing water etc
Thank you for your video. I look up how to reassemble each year.
Hey trying to drain the pool for winter and I am struggling to find a garden hose adaptor for the pool. Any suggestions?
I find the pump does not create enough circulation in keeping the pool clean. Anyone else and are there options? Like a larger pump?
Same, we are returning because of that. Spent more money on brushes, cordless vacuum, chlorine, bule solution you name it. Not worth it
Hi. Thanks for sharing this video. Followed everything but as I’m filling up the pool, the middle seems to be bowing in even though my ground is flat and even. Any tips on how to fix that? Thanks!
Has to be 90 percent full and it’ll work itself out
It will straighten when the pool is at least &0-90 percent fool
Excellent video! Pool is up thanks to your guidance. Marriage is intact! Thank you.
Awesome video man. The instructions they send are really bad. This was great, was able to get my pool set up by myself with this video in about an hour. And then started on the pump and filling it.
Great Video Jeep Solid !! Question ?? The pool is 12 ft wide . If you measure from one side of the u joint to the other side of the u joint . Is it wider then the pool or are we still at 12 ft ? If they stick out wider then the pool . How much space should I account for ? Im tight on space . TY for your response .
14' 2" total
Thank you because I'm thinking it may not fit because I have a tree , that might be in the way
How well does that solar pool heater work?
Thank you
Thank you for this. The best video setup on UA-cam. No waste of time, straight to the point.
I have a quick question. How many people do they expect you to have to cover this thing? My wife and I had no luck trying to cover it, it’s super tight.
True same here
Stretch, pull, Stretch and make it fit. That's what we did and it didn't rip or tear.
Once the vinyl cover heats up from the sun it will be fine.
Or buy a 24 x 12 solar cover to get even more heating !
Use a huge tarp that's what I did with mine
Do you use your index pool vacuum with this pool. I bought the one you recommended and can’t revive the return to attach it. If so can you please reply
Hi. Should we use pool cove with this?
Great video! Thank you
Is this pump good enough or should I get a better one?
Is that filter pump that comes with the pool electric? If so, is there a solar filter pump you'd recommend that would work with this pool, instead of the electric? Thanks.
Its gonna cost a lot - the solar panels just don't have enough juice to run this size pump, plus you would need a battery backup for the pump if you ran during night.
Thank you for this video. I ordered this same pool and it will be here next week. What are the dimensions of the area where you laid the black ground cover?
Wondering that as well! We are starting today.
28 feet by 18 feet, to leave 3 feet on each side
Tried to hook up a PVC return fountain to the return jet/port A and had no luck. It's a very strange size/configuration and there are no adapters out there to fit it. Very annoying as we need a fountain to aerate this pool to keep the temps under control.
I was going to put it on my lawn. Should I put landscape fabric down first? Also what size foot print do I need for the fabric.
Yes, put fabric unless you want to pull weeds.
Really helped make this set up easy. My wife, myself and our 6 year old set this up fairly easily. Thanks!
O
Do you have a video for setting up the chemicals? Gonna set up that same pool this weekend. Any extra advise would be appreciated.
When running the filter, do i need to turn on the port A valve?
Very helpful, thank you. 😊
Thanks jeepsolid, great vid helped me a lot. I did mine solo and took me the whole afternoon. I did not get all the wrinkles out, will that hurt the life of the pool in the bottom or should it be fine? I don't want to waste all the water if I don't have to
For one season it should be more than fine! Do you plan to empty pool end of year depending on your climate? If so I wouldn’t stress and just leave it until then 👍🏼
@@Trueuro I was planning on taking it down. I live in Michigan so figured the winter would be harsh on the liner and frame.
Any way you have a link for the instructions? We bought the pool last summer but we are barely installing now. Someone misplaced the instructions 👎🏼 thanks!
Question do you put the whole white tip of the U joint into the side? I see there are two sets of buttons not sure how far to go?
I left mine in
Just commenting that this video saved our lives lol
I’ve recently purchased this pool and I’m not sure whether it’s just me and my water pressure/hose pipe but it’s taken 26 hours to fill and it’s still got another few hours to go before it reaches the level this pool is at 😬
help please i have lost my outlet vave for my bestway power steel oval how can i get a replacement please help ty
I got the same pool set up but the sides water lever are about 1-2 inches higher than the ends. How critical is this for use. Water is even across both side but ends are abot 2 inches of white not even with the brown on the sides?
Great video I'm getting ready to purchase this particular pool and I was wondering for my first pool do I have to fill this all the way up to 48 in my grandkids are not that tall yet they're roughly around 44 to 46 inches. Thanks for your videos and any help
The sides will stay bowed in if it's not full
Hello, I have a question, I bought the same set, on the box it says, the maintenance kit is included, did you have it in the kit? I don’t have it
Same style pool but it will be a while before the 4’ of snow melts!!
Hello Great video! Even the pool is 12' in width curious to own what is dimension the U supports add. Are then about a foot from the pool when stretched out from each side? Thanks in advance.
I’d love to know this too!
There’s a diagram at the beginning
@@katieanderson3749 He responded under another comment, u need 14 ft total 1 ft extra each side
Can you explain more about the solar heater set up? I don’t seem to have the flow I need and the instructions that came with are horrible
How did u put the last piece of the pool in ?
Anyone have a link for a video that shows how to put the pool cover on? I cannot get the one that came with the pool to work 😤
Hi I’m having trouble locating your other videos to set up filter and solar mat. Please help
How wide is this pool with the supports kicked out like that? Looks to add another 2 ft or so to each side?
When I put the pavers down the pool lifted up. It looks like the pool is in full buckle.
es obligatorio usar el solar de arena?
Great video! Where is the filter set-up video?
Do you leave this outside all year round? And will it survive really cold temperatures?
Can you set this up on a cemented area or paved are with asphalt?
Sure why not, however I would put a layer of landscaping tarp under it.
Any advice on a skimmer or inline chlorinator? Also shut off valve?
Use a hand skimmer and float chlorinator
I was thinking the brush that was linked in the video that we bought on Amazon would be compatible with the handle that came with the net but it doesn’t seem to be.
We have this pool & so far it's great! Video is great as well!! The filter that the automatic chlorinator attaches to.....does it pop off or
turn?? And is anybody using it? Does it work well? Thank you in advance.
my reason why I'm here!! can't find a how to anywhere. hope this vid does.
I cant figure out setting up the filter. The pool was easy with this video but not this part lol
My son was able to unscrew it. I guess my hands were too weak, lol. The chemconnect then screws right on. Also...helps to have pump off. Obvious, I know. Good luck. 😊
Try going online. I saw some really helpful videos on setting up the filter. The Bestway manual for it is terrible!! Make sure you get sand for pool filter, not industrial sand! Good luck. 😊
Is the pump ok to leave outside in rainy day?
Subscribed! Thanks for the vids. I have 2 questions. My pump & hoses are connected the same as yours. How do you clean out the filter basket without losing a ton of water? There's no shutoff valve so the water just keeps pouring out, which also makes it impossible to get the lid back on. Second question is about the solar heater. It doesn't seem to do much. I've read reviews where people say it makes their water very warm. We've had 7 days of 30+ degree weather and it has made no effect on the temperature of the water. Thanks.
Your pool should have come with some plugs you can put on the outlet ports from the pool to stop the water.
The solar heater does help if in direct sun for hours a day.
@@JeepSolid Got it. Thanks for the quick reply.
One more question - I don't think I backwashed my sand filter long enough when I set it up. The pool water is constantly cloudy (still is). I backwashed for about 3 minutes and then rinsed for 30 seconds. Now my pressure is high (10psi). Any ideas? Thanks again.
How do I make this a salt water system?
I understand that some device acts as a chloranator. Where do we get one & how does itattach
The poles that have the feet are they suppose to touch the liner once it’s filled?
Doesn't matter if they do or don't
How much time approximately to set up the pool?
I'm having an issue where the tube length is not long enough for the solar pad to be in the sun and connected to the pool filter. Any tips to make the tubing longer?
Any pool suplly store near you should sell longer tubes
I don't see your U supports nor the legs having wood or paver supports? Is that okay? What if my pool is unlevel by 2", what do I do to level it?
Thank you for the video. How much additional space is needed for the leg supports around the pool? I'm working with 16.5', do you think I will have enough space?
We just assembled this pool on our property. A footprint of 23x15 is ideal
My filter started leaking and I don’t know what to do. Please help. I think I may have connected the hoses wrong because I decided to leave out the heater.
My question is on the pool filter sand - do I need to start with fresh sand every season or can I continue to use last years sand? Thanks for any help!
No, you don't have to replace the sand very often, just backwash the sand, then rinse it, then you are good to go. See the separate filter vid in the description to see how to do it !
Where did you get your sand from?
This is my 3rd summer using this pool and when I set up the filter/pump, it's leaking from where where the filter connects to the pump, like through the screws, not the hoses. Any ideas on what could cause that or how to fix it? Thank you! Your videos are so helpful!
How do you put your pool away? Or you keep it during winter
Tighten the screw clamp on your filter, it's probably loose, then check your gaskets for leaks also.
what are the dimensions of the solar array used to heat the pool water?
About 6 feet by 4 feet, and it heats the water quite well.
Is the pump that it comes with efficient enough or should it be upgraded?
It's a little weak, only operates at about 8 psi, you could put in a more powerful on if you want.
Hi I want to put my heater and pump at the head oh my pool. Will it still be effective if I purchase longer tubes to achieve this, or does it have to live on the side of the pool. I only have extra space on the end of the pool.
A longer black tube might make the water warmer since it's going through a longer tube in the heat :)
I have this pool but my f and e connectors are missing any idea where I can get some at?
Do you have to use the solar heater? I would prefer pool water to be cold.
I've had my pool up for over a year & have never had the heater connected.
Can this pool be removed and set up in a different place? Or once you set it up, it can never be disassembled and rebuild in another location?
It can be disassembled and rebuilt in a new location
How much sand do you need for the filter (lbs)?
Do you need to clean or wash the inner liner before use to get rid of plastic chemicals from manufacturing process?
No
