Ten
Quick tips for setting up a soft sided above ground pool with an inflatable
ring at the top.
Don't
we wish these pools would have been on the market when we were kids! These
pools put the plastic pools from my childhood to shame.
But
there IS a little more to setting them up then tossing in the hose. Just follow
your pools directions, but keep these
tips in mind too.
1. Put
down a layer of level sand under your tarp or ground cloth to make it more
stable and resistant to tears.
2. Place
the filter in a corner area of your square ground cloth so it is more likely to
remain upright and away from the mower.
3. Your
filter has to plug in, be sure and use a
bright colored extension cord to eliminate trips and falls.
4. Always
have a patch kit or two on hand, they do
work well but you may lose a lot of water if you have to run to the store when and
if you need one.
5. Get
as many wrinkles out of the liner as possible starting with the middle.
6. Add
the water slowly until all the wrinkles have been smoothed out. Too much water makes it hard, if not impossible, to work out the wrinkles.
7. Double
check to make sure the drain plug is in.
8. Double
check to make sure your pump hoses are secure and burp the air out of the pump
before you plug it in.
9. Read
the chemical labels and learn what to add when.
It really isn't that hard if you consistently take care of it.
10. Have
Fun!! Be sure and supervise your
children carefully and to keep the chemicals out of reach. Also remember that pool covers are meant to
keep debris out of the pool and are not meant as a safety device to keep
children safe. That is your job, you will be the lifeguard always on duty with
a pool in the yard. swimming pool, above
