I could not figure out how to get my pump to work. After watching your video I saw the tubes were hooked up wrong. Their directions really SUCK! I connected the tubes the way the picture looked and it was wrong. Thanks for your help. Was thinking the pump was broke.
My pool came with tubes but no T's and NO instructions. It's been fun trying to put the thing together and attach our bigger, sand filter instead of that crappy little filter that came with the pool.
That’s a bummer that yours didn’t come with all the parts. I hope you were able to get them without much trouble. Yes. The small filter was a lot of maintenance that first year, but we upgraded last season and it was wonderful.
Stupid question. How do you setup the system to run after the hoses are attached? Other than just plugging it in obviously lol. Like the correct way to remove air from the system because ours just won’t push any water besides a small bit from side A.
There are a couple of O rings that go where the hose attaches to the base of the filter. And there’s a larger O ring that goes around the top lid. Pretty much anywhere something attaches or connects to the filter should have some sort of rubber gasket to keep the water from leaking out.
Just a helpful tip. Get a pump twice that size. I have one that creates a current inside the pool 🤣🤣. I probably use 65% less chemicals and the water stays perfect. If I loosen the hose, the jet of water shoots straight to the other side like a fire hose. I think my pump is rated for a 25,000 gallon pool and the pool holds about 6,500 gallons.
I have this same pump in the video and it’s terrible. To circulate 10k gallons you need to run this pump for 4 hours but the cartridge get dirty and deceased the pressure from the outlet! Causing you to run longer and to waste time cleaning filters. This pump in the video the filter is for a 500 gallon pool. I need a sand filter but they are just too expensive and hard to find a used one
Have the same exact pool and pump, what’s your recommendation of what to use for the chlorine balances, I seen you answer someone saying your lady handles it . I don’t got the money to upgrade to a new filter anytime soon
Cullen Wilson we use the clorox pool and spa app that works with their test strips and tells you everything you need to fix the levels. My wife promises to do a video this week teaching me how to do the testing and thing necessary to make it all nice.
kim johnson the pump does not have to run all the time. We usually only run it after we put in chemicals to circulate the water and when we are using it. We will sometimes run the pump for a couple day’s off and on if it was used heavily. We do not have any issues with the pump leaking when it is turned off. Make sure all your connections are tight and the air release valves are tightened properly.
alisha warden wallis they are to plug the b hoses when you need to change the pump. It’s a real pain, but I just posted a video on how I fixed it. You might want to skip towards the end if you don’t need the full review. m.ua-cam.com/video/rdk3ZokYCiY/v-deo.html
So when you clean the filter cartridge and when you ultimately replace them, you’re going to want to turn off the filter and use the plugs in your two “B ports” after pulling out the gray parts in the pool. If you don’t plug this before opening the filter it’ll shoot water out. The gray piece is for attaching a garden hose at the bottom in the event you want to drain the pool and store it
What brand valves did you buy ? I have the same pump but I only see intex valve on amazon , will I text work with this ? And if so what size? Thanks ! Love your Chanel!
We had filled it to the holes for the pluming to the pump which is about 12” below the full line. It’s a little difficult to get it filled more than that before the pump is installed. After we installed the pump we filled it the rest of the day.
Thanks for the video , we have the same pool and we putting the filter together today ,would like to ask how it’s you pump working on you pump ?Are you guys thinking on upgrading on a sand filter pump ?
Yaneth Duarte everyone has been telling us we need to, but we had this same sized pool before with the same pump and didn’t have any trouble. Just have to change filters more often.
i would like to know where does the black things go in the filter because we have the same one and i hooked up the filter exactly how you did but idk where u guys put the black little things that came with like a gray cap
Nany ortiz I did a video review where I talked about those little black caps and why I didn’t use them. You can watch it here. ua-cam.com/video/rdk3ZokYCiY/v-deo.html
I believe the black plugs are used for when you need to change the filter. They will plug the B hose from in the pool to keep water from filling the pump. The other gray connection looks like it’s used to connect to the drain plug to a garden hose for draining the pool. But it might be something you can connect to the output jet for use with a vacuum or something.
You really should get a 12 or 15 inch sand filter. So much less maintenance and you won't have to keep cleaning and replacing a filter and NEVER get the saltwater system it will rust your pool up in less than a year.
i have this pool and the filter system is not that powerful for the pool after one season i replace the filter system with a sand filter that works much better
Jessica Santos it has worked well. You can check out my review of the pool I explain what works well and what doesn’t and what I had to change out on the pool. m.ua-cam.com/video/rdk3ZokYCiY/v-deo.html
@@HurricaneHomestead Ok. Thank you! How has it been working for you? We keep seeing horrible reviews and I'm worried! Not sure if I should upgrade before I even fill the pool.
Eva Farias we have not had a bad experience with it. My wife does a great job of keeping the Chlorine and ph levels right. We have to change out the filter in the pump about every 5-6 days depending on how much we use it.
Rich Lo the only sand filter available locally was only capable of half the size pool we have. If we find a big enough pump and filter for a good price we will definitely change over to a sand filter system.
You should familiarze yourself with the packaging so that i dont have to be tortured with watching you fumble around trying to figure out what goes where. .
Brother, when you paused to mention your wife and the happiness shown when you did was heart warming!
She really does make me happy!
Thanks this really helped. The included instructions are atrocious.
Thank you appreciate your good vibes!!!

Did you have to ground the pool?
this is really cute. u guys are funny but u got it done. hope im invited to the pool party...
i have this pool. should water be blowing or sucking from port A?
Port A is where the water returns to the pool so I guess that would be “blowing”.
Thank you guys so much for this video b/c I was so lost with just the instructions

There's two little black stopper pieces that came in the box and I'm confused as to where they go . Do you have any idea
Yeah. I talk about that in this video. Coleman 22' Power Steel Pool Review and Modifications

Do you know what pump I should buy for a replacement? I cant find any model numbers
Can u fit this type of pump in a 18x48?
Probably. You’ll just want to make sure the hoses and connections are the same.

How do you clean the filter I have hard time to take it out the water comes out like crazy I close the tubes
Tania Rodas I had to install a second gate valve on the b hose to turn off the water coming into the pump so I could change the filter.
Does the original pump have to stay running at all times? How can I turn the pump off without getting water everywhere
kim johnson the pump does not have to run all the time. We usually only run it after we put in chemicals to circulate the water and when we are using it. We will sometimes run the pump for a couple day’s off and on if it was used heavily. We do not have any issues with the pump leaking when it is turned off. Make sure all your connections are tight and the air release valves are tightened properly.
What are the black stoppers for?

Loved this!
Does the pump use a lot of power?
No. Not much. Maybe around 6 amps if that much.
“We’re suckers” 😂 dont worry bud i got the same treatment and here we are 😂
Did y'all have an extra bag with two black plugs and an extra gray piece that you didnt use cause I'm not sure where they go?
So when you clean the filter cartridge and when you ultimately replace them, you’re going to want to turn off the filter and use the plugs in your two “B ports” after pulling out the gray parts in the pool.

i have the same question
What brand valves did you buy ? I have the same pump but I only see intex valve on amazon , will I text work with this ? And if so what size? Thanks ! Love your Chanel!
Angel’s Cakes we had an extra intex valve from our old pool and it works perfectly.
Dummy question.. what filter cartridge do I get??
There are not many dumb questions. We have been using the B filter cartridge from intex #29005E
Hurricane Homestead awesome, thank you very much!!
Do you see any leaking from the window ?
We haven't seen any leaks yet, but have been told to watch out for that.
Hey is your pump still working? I have had mine for a month and the pump is not working anymore 😡 pricey pool just for the pump to crap out
#amoms life the pump works well for me, but any time we loose power I have to press the reset switch on the plug which is annoying.
@@HurricaneHomestead well i guess we got a bad one anyway we bought a new one.
Same thing happened to me today 4 hrs out of the box and already having trouble with a steady flow
How do u know when its working?
Nany ortiz if you have a filter installed and a good flow of water is coming out of the jet in hole a then is should be working.
this is great theank you
Is your water level to low?
We had filled it to the holes for the pluming to the pump which is about 12” below the full line. It’s a little difficult to get it filled more than that before the pump is installed. After we installed the pump we filled it the rest of the day.

Wear did you purchase the pool from please and Thank you?
We got it from our local Walmart last year.
Chinesium is a great word! I will have to use it from now on! Glad to see you got the pool up so everybody else can enjoy it. 😂
The Jacobs Triangle Homestead I have to admit I learned about chinesium from Wranglerstar.
What are you using to film? Quality looks great. I mean a little blurry in the first minute but after that was great.
Yeah. I had the depth of field too narrow on that close up shot. I’m using my old Canon t3i on this video.
Do you know where the 2 black plugs and 1 extra gray connection goes?
I believe the black plugs are used for when you need to change the filter. They will plug the B hose from in the pool to keep water from filling the pump. The other gray connection looks like it’s used to connect to the drain plug to a garden hose for draining the pool. But it might be something you can connect to the output jet for use with a vacuum or something.
@@HurricaneHomestead I come here wondering the same about the black things lol..thank you for the video
You guys are an awesome couple. Also, thanks for the video!
mine had NO instructions lol thats why im watching your video lol
You really should get a 12 or 15 inch sand filter. So much less maintenance and you won't have to keep cleaning and replacing a filter and NEVER get the saltwater system it will rust your pool up in less than a year.
That has been a topic of conversation. The nice thing about sand filter is that we can add it next year after we are tired of changing filters. 😂
@@HurricaneHomestead also you don't have to change your sand but every 5 years . Best of luck
i have this pool and the filter system is not that powerful for the pool after one season i replace the filter system with a sand filter that works much better
how much did it cost and where did you guys buy it for? nice video btw
We got ours from Walmart for around $600 plus tax, plus sand, plus chemicals, plus effort, so I think we are up to around elevendy billion dollars.
@@HurricaneHomestead Hi. have you had any broken glass? and how many horsepower does that pump have? Has it worked well for you?
Jessica Santos it has worked well. You can check out my review of the pool I explain what works well and what doesn’t and what I had to change out on the pool. m.ua-cam.com/video/rdk3ZokYCiY/v-deo.html
That's not the pump that came with the pool, correct? You upgraded?
Eva Farias that is the pump that came with the pool. We have to change the filter every 5-6 days depending on how much we use it.
@@HurricaneHomestead Ok. Thank you! How has it been working for you? We keep seeing horrible reviews and I'm worried! Not sure if I should upgrade before I even fill the pool.

Hey i watched on another vid...guy said the windows leak from pressure after awhile....so he sealed them with clear caulking inside and out
Get a sand filter pump..
Rich Lo the only sand filter available locally was only capable of half the size pool we have. If we find a big enough pump and filter for a good price we will definitely change over to a sand filter system.
I love the confidence in this video lol she says IM GONNA GO FIND THE INSTRUCTIONS and he’s like I’ll have it figured out when you get back lol
Y’all are cute❤
We’ve got something special that’s for sure.
you too are so cute together XD
That smack sound like it hurt
Sometimes I deserve it. 🤣
After further review the woman dropped the pool filter.
Equally minimilized 😅😅
Y’all kinky 😂😂😂
What kind of a company puts out instructions like that? Coleman should be ashamed of themselves. I have same pool. Smh!
It's not fair to see the full was made in China in an amateur way. There's reason why the holes are labeled a, b, b.
Sometimes that’s just how things go when you’re dealing with cheep manufacturing things get a little lost in translation. 😂
Just skip this. They aren’t helpful they don’t do step by step they talk to each other the entire time and barely walk you through it
Luckily for us, it’s not rocket surgery and we muddled our way though it. If we can do it, I believe in you!!! Happy swimming.
Looking at your wife help you gives me lots of anxiety.
Watching her help me gives me lots of warm fuzzy feelings.
You should familiarze yourself with the packaging so that i dont have to be tortured with watching you fumble around trying to figure out what goes where. .
But I enjoy torturing you so much! 😂😂 I was going for a cringe worthy reality video. I guess I hit the mark, but I’ll do better for you next time.
I stoped watching after she had to grab the directions ...
Good call. It went down hill from that point.
Hurricane Homestead 😂😂
