Khan Sana - I thought about that too but if it is not perfectly level(which would be hard to do in my yard) it is probably better if I do this. The higher your pool the more important it is to have it level...i learned the hard way LOL 😂

Commonly ask questions: #1 Like I said in the video I was going to buy an easyset filter and pump to help clean the water, which i did. #2 I drain the pool by using the filter and pump to pump out the water. #3 I do use clorine and always have. I buy tablets specially made for pools in desert climates. :)

@catw6998 3 жыл бұрын

All I can do is dream through you. We had to have a sump pump put in (actually 2) in the area where I would have liked to have a pool. Other considerations are tree roots from wooded area behind us and I’d probably have s heart attack digging anyway. Sigh. Wish I had a family member like you that enjoys a pool - or some kind of pool anyway.

This was a fun imaginative video and I love the frugal approach. Having recently done a pond my only concern would be that light of a guage of tarp should tear and leak easily. But for a season it could work great.

I have a problem relevant to your yard specifically with tracking dirt into the pool. I might suggest getting some cast concrete tiles from a hardware/garden store and make a walkway to and around the pool. It would help keep dirt out and also help keep the liner edges in place.

Cool Video FYI i grew up in South Florida another pretty hot place and for a couple of years i did work in the swimming pool industry way before Sunblock was invented and what we did for the heat and Sun was to wear iced water towels over our heads and down the back of our necks we also started our workday at 7 A.M. stopped for a small break at 9 and usually a siesta in the shade and then went back at it for as long and hard as we could i dont want to be the negative guy on your pool but my experience with the cheap value tarps is they dont hold up to the suns Ultra violet rays very long
