12 best above ground pools
Above ground pools are a popular option for recreational swimming and relaxation, especially in residential settings. These pools are characterized by their construction above ground level, typically made from materials like metal, resin, or durable PVC. Here's what you need to know about above ground pools:
Structure and Materials: Above ground pools are typically constructed with a combination of metal or resin frames and PVC or other synthetic materials for the pool walls. The frame provides structural support, while the liner or wall material holds the water.
Variety of Sizes and Shapes: Above ground pools come in various sizes and shapes, including round, oval, and rectangular. The choice of size and shape depends on available space and intended use.
Easy Installation: One of the advantages of above ground pools is their relatively easy installation compared to in-ground pools. They can be set up in a matter of days and don't require excavation.
Affordability: Above ground pools are often more budget-friendly than in-ground pools. They offer a cost-effective way to enjoy a swimming pool on your property.
Portability: Some above ground pools are designed to be portable, allowing you to disassemble and relocate them if needed. This flexibility can be appealing to renters or those who may move in the future.
Maintenance: Like all pools, above ground pools require regular maintenance.This includes water treatment with pool chemicals, skimming debris, and cleaning the pool walls and floor. Automatic pool cleaners, including robotic pool cleaners, are commonly used to simplify maintenance.
Safety Measures: Safety measures such as pool fences, pool alarms, and secure ladders or steps are essential for above ground pools, especially if there are young children around.
Accessories: Various accessories are available for above ground pools, including pool covers, pool heaters, and pool lights. These can enhance the pool's functionality and make it more enjoyable.
Local Regulations: Be sure to check local regulations and codes before installing an above ground pool. Some areas may have specific requirements regarding pool installation, safety, and fencing.
Seasonal Use: Above ground pools are often used seasonally, especially in regions with cold winters. Proper winterization and storage of pool components are important to protect the pool during the off-season.
Above ground pools can provide a great way to beat the summer heat and create a space for family and friends to gather and swim. When considering an above ground pool, it's important to factor in the pool's size, shape, and features, as well as the necessary maintenance and safety precautions to ensure a safe and enjoyable swimming experience.

User questions & answers
Question: | Can you wash the pump filter? and How often do you need to change the filter out and put int new one |
Answer: | Yes, you can wash the filter. I usually use the flat stream on my hose setting. I do this once a week so I get 3 to 4 weeks out of a filter. |
Question: | How level should the place be ? I want to put it on backyard its level for the most part but has gradual highs and lows , may be 8" difference |
Answer: | It has to be level, but it won't hurt if you have a slight slope away from the house. I leveled an area that has a 1/4-1/2 inch slope pointing away from the house. In the event something happens and 1,718 gallons of water come pouring out, it's best that water goes away from the house. |
Question: | Does it use chemicals |
Answer: | Any pool will need to use some form of chemical to keep the water free of things living in it. This pool comes with a simple non-chemical filter. |
Question: | how many adults fit comfortably in this pool |
Answer: | We have about 50 adult tilapia fish (10 inches, two to three pounds) in this pool at the moment. It will hold about 160 or so eventually. Tongue in cheek answer. I tried but just couldn't resist. |

User questions & answers
Question: | How deep is it |
Answer: | 42-inch depth. 14 feet across. |
Question: | Really 1500.. Goes from 400 to 1500 because |
Answer: | It is called price gouging by the same kind of people who buy up all the nintendo switch machines. |
Question: | Do i have to have a different pump to make it saltwater |
Answer: | you use both the pump that comes with the pool and a saltwater pump that you have to purchase or acquire separately. the water goes through the pool pump first and then into the saltwater pump then back into the pool. The pool pump has to be on when the saltwater system is on. The saltwater system has a timer on it. You set the timer to run so many hours depending on the size of your pool. A 15' by 42" pool, the saltwater should be set for 3hours, usually after the sun sets so the chlorine will stay in the water longer. The saltwater pump will come on everyday at the same time. It only needs reset if for some reason it gets shut off.When the saltwater pump is not making chlorine the water simply flows through it and into the pool. My saltwater pump lasted about 9 years and it left the water crystal clear. Had to put 100 pounds of pool salt in at beginning of each season. Make sure the pool pump has been running about 1 day before setting the timer on saltwater pump. I always ran the pool pump 24/7. No problem with pool pump either. Just change filters about every few weeks. |

User questions & answers
Question: | What size filter does this pump take |
Answer: | It comes with a 530 gal pump, but I bought a 1000 gal per hour pump. It was and addded expensive but keeps the pool alot cleaner. Cost about 35 dollars. To me it was well worth it. Takes a A-B filter. |
Question: | do i need a ladder |

Question: | Any suggestions on finding a small hole on the bottom of this pool? Just put it up for 3rd year, it is leaking but I have had no luck finding where |
Answer: | My husband filled up a hose with air with his air compressor. With a little water in the pool he was able to find a tiny pin hole at the bottom of the pool. He marked it with a Sharpie marker, drained the pool and patched it. |

User questions & answers
Question: | How pounds of sand do you put in the pump and whats the best sand to buy for it |
Answer: | Did I get an a see for this question. I bought the 32x 16 saltwater system. Not sure how much sand for the pump is needed |
Question: | What is the true, total width with the legs? "i don't know" isn't helpful |
Answer: | 13 ft 10 inches x 25ft 10 inches. |
Question: | Can you leave this pool up through winter |
Answer: | We had a 16' round intex pool for 7 years. It gets to 110 degrees in the summer and 23 degrees in the winter. We never took it down in winter. Always keep water in it. We just cover the pump to protect it from the rain and freeze with old blankets and tarp. The only reason we are replacing is we want a bigger one, just ordered the 16 x 32, and we did not cover much in summer so over the years the top edge looks like it is deteriorating. When we took it down and cut it up to dispose of it, we found the top lip looked bad but was still very strong so probably could last a few more years. I have had pools before and it seems like if I did take down for the winter, when I put back up in spring, there were leaks. So I think they last much better if you leave it up and full, just cover and protect the pump for the winter. |
Question: | With correct setup, reasonable care, how long can you expect this pool to last? Is the liner replaceable |
Answer: | Ive had my handme down pool set up near 5 yrs, making it 6 . I leave it filled below returns all winter. I did cut in full size skimmers and returns bought on Amazon and 16 inch sand filter system. Freaking perfect. Its now rusting on the upper legs, so ill replace with 16x32 in spri g. Yes, you can cut in full size skimmers and a larger return. I plumbed it myself in hard pipe rather than garbage flex. Just put in unions so i can winterize it. |

User questions & answers
Question: | does this pool have dual suction outlet fittings |
Answer: | It sure does! Yet there are no plugs to keep the water from spilling out if you aren’t using a filter pump - and even then, the pump we ended up buying only has ONE hose for the outlet, so still have a hole without a plug. Impossible to use!! |
Question: | What chemicals do I buy |
Answer: | You’ll need chlorine tablets, a slimmer, a pump. |
Question: | Does this come with a circuit interrupter that shuts off if the filter is exposed to water |
Answer: | I'm not 100% sure about the smaller filter. We got the larger filter for it and it does, and it has several times since my garden is next to the pool area. |

User questions & answers
Question: | What is the best cover for this pool |
Answer: | I got 2 pack of shower curtains linked below.. and use one curtain mounted on poles on two sides with curtain rings on one side and on other side, clamps.. I place at angle to let rain roll off because I don't need it to keep water warm yet or leaf litter out.. I use mosquito curtains around pool too.. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J1YOUX8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 fun to engineer fixes |
Question: | Do you need chemicals or a pool cover |
Answer: | i would strongly recommend both. Most local/major hardware stores have test strpps that you just dip in for the recommended time and then compare that to the package to evaluate chemical needs. Tarp little bigger than the pool is a good idea for a cover. |
Question: | How many gallons of water does this hold |
Answer: | 7 ft by 15 ft = 105 sq. ft. Full line is 30 inches or 2.5 ft. giving the large pool a volume of 262.5 cubic ft. One sq ft = 7.481 gallons, so the big pool holds 1,964 gallons |
Question: | What comes with the pool I means what accessories I need to know all of them |
Answer: | You get everything but the filter and the ground cover. I would recommend this filter, and for a ground cover, just buy a large tarp. It's a great pool. My wife, myself, and our 3 young children for in it all together comfortably. Sitting in it, the water is chest high, perfect for hot days and nights. |

User questions & answers
Question: | How much water is needed |
Answer: | I think it holds approximately 3,000 to 3,300 gallons of water. Where I live, you can call the water department and tell them you filled up your pool, give them the dimensions of your pool and they give you a credit on your water bill (they take off the sewer part of the bill) so it doesn’t break the bank to fill it up. Would be worth a call to your utility company! |
Question: | Would this pool be better if we convert it to salt |
Answer: | Yes. Less maintenance and salt would last about 5 years. |
Question: | What is the height of the pool frame? I want it to match my existing deck |
Answer: | 52” high. You cannot fill it to 52”. |
Question: | do you have a replacement pool liner for Intex pool 18”x |
Answer: | I do not have a replacement liner |

Question: | Can you set this up as a saltwater pool |
Answer: | As per VM Express which I just spoke with on the phone, this pool does NOT come with a salt water system, only sand filter system as the description says but one can be purchase and added (currently $189 to $209). You will need the larger system for this size pool, the pump that comes with this pool has the proper flow rate for the salt system to be installed. |
Question: | Does this include saltwater system with the sand filter |
Answer: | This pool does NOT come with a salt water system. I just got off the phone with VM Express and they pulled the model number and it only comes with the sand system. I unfortunately already bought this pool and it will be delivered tomorrow, I bought it thinking it was a salt water system because of Suzettes answer and an up vote on it. According to the seller it does NOT have the salt system. |
User questions & answers
Question: | Is it best to leave robot in the pool when not in use |
Answer: | no because it should not be in pool when people are, especially if it is on. very dangerous. |
Question: | Does it clean walls |
Answer: | Mine climbs the walls all the way up. It cleans the cove at the bottom as well. I love this machine. It has totally cleaned my pool of all debris. I highly recommend it for above ground pools. |
Question: | I have a ladder going into my pool. Won't this cord get tangled on the ladder |
Answer: | Yes. If it fits behind your ladder, it will absolutely get tangled. Has happened many times. I am thinking of attaching a cross-bar that runs from the ladder to the pool wall to stop the robot from going behind. |
Question: | Will it clean a 30’ round pool |
Answer: | My pool is 15 x 30 and it cleans it pretty well. It may miss a spot here and there but this product is so worth the money. |

How long can I leave my Dolphin in the pool?
We recommend taking your Dolphin out of the pool after each use to empty and rinse the filters and to rinse off any excess chemicals. It is ideal to keep your Dolphin out of the pool and stored away when not in use. If your Dolphin has a weekly scheduler, you can keep it in your pool for a week, but you will need to make sure the filter is cleaned.
How to take the robot out of the pool?
Gently pull on the blue floating cable to bring your Dolphin to the edge of the pool. Once your Dolphin is in reach, grasp the handle to pull the robot out of the water. Place the robot on the edge of the pool to let the remaining water drain out. Do not pull the Dolphin out of the water using the cable.
How to use the power supply
Make sure the power supply is placed at least 12 feet from the edge of the pool. Connect the floating cable to the power supply, align the lug on the connector with the notch of the plug on the power supply, then turn clockwise. Press the ON/OFF button on the power supply to begin cleaning. The power supply for your Dolphin is not waterproof- it is water resistant. When in use, make sure it was either stored on the caddy or far away from the pool, so it does not get pulled in. Always use an electrical outlet protected with a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) device; this will protect your Dolphin from surges in power. Do not use an extension cord or surge protector to power your Dolphin.
How to store/roll/operate cable
When you Dolphin is in use, only release enough of the cable for your Dolphin to properly cover your pool. Leave the excess cable loosely rolled outside of the pool. When storing your Dolphin on a caddy, carefully wrap the cable so it does not have any kinks and place it around the top of the caddy. Once a week, unplug the cable from the power supply and unwind the tangled portions of the cable, straighten it out and leave in the sun for a few hours. This will help remove any tangling or kinks.
