This is great and everything until your impeller sucks it in and the pump stops working 😞

Most original idea yet! I'd get some flocculant.

this is really cool I understand this was the six year old video but did you ever do a video of how you did the PVC piping from the filter to the intake step by step I'm a single mom and not too good with tools so I want to try to do it

I would use that black rolled pvc for heat and put cannister filter material in the pump

Spec on the skimmer?

That stuff is called batting and can be bought at any fabric store

This is NOT solar-powered, Why are you claiming that?

Excellent video

D.I.? These must be pool tips from a fellow Utahn.

Do you have the plans for that ingenious skimmer

PLEASE READ THE MSDS OF BOTH CHEMICALS BEFORE YOU MIX THEM TOGETHER.

Your ideas are ingenious. I have been scratching my head... trying to repair my broken sand filter... trying to connect an old skimmer filter in-line... trying to electrocute myself a few times... a Kool-Aid® pitcher and some, what?! Pillow foam?!?! Love it, dude. Keep it up! If everyone had a pool, you'd have 50,000,000 views. What else you got?

nah, takes up way too much space.

one word....... idiot. you are not a diy'er you are a gerry rigger. totally stupid.

Great tips, Kody! Thanks for sharing!

This is what not to do my wife said. As I'm in ahhhhhh poor pump intex or not. Glad to see you using sweeps, and Borax raises the pH use acid or c02, Simple solar. Use enzymes and UV or o3 it kills what chlorine don't

Kody, love your ideas, but it would be helpful if you would share where you got the stuff please. I know this is an old video but some of us are just starting!

aren't swim weights lead? not sure if they still make them out of lead but if they do, you probably dont want that stuff in your pool, if they leach out into your pool the levels of lead could get pretty high, again i have no iidea if they still make those things out of lead. just a thought

Cool setup

Really enjoy it. Let's check Avasva plans also

I just put the pillow in the Pump!! Nice idea and I can take a Nap... lol

go to a sand filter system you will love it!

Supply list and instructions would be appreciated. I'd be willing to pay ya!

10/10 sir!

1st video - 👍. But dude.... that water is Nasty! Not a very good filter!! 👎

Good job thanks for sharing.

You did a great job Man, very innovative ideas. Looks like an excellent hobby that Oh, By The Way, provides you low-tech. low budget solution for Pool fun for the family.

Skimmers are good when your not home or cba to clean it with a net. But it is much quicker and less hassle to get a siv or net and get rid of the grass

Wonderful ideas where can we By it for .25 cents I live in California the Greater Sacramento area. But maybe the WallMart has cheep fiber fill pillows. That is a wonderful help to us all. God Bless You!!!

couldnt concentrate listening to that poor pump

need a supply list. Love your ideas and will use them this summer!

Where's that new skimmer?

Your idea excellent! But the video oh which some-one helped you with this. What about the dust on the floor?

Smart and well engeenered. I'll try a couple of your solutions . Thanks!

Maybe you should invest some money into some chemicals. That's some murky water.

Man you are brilliant! So many great ideas that are pretty easy to make. I really like your skimmer and shower ideas. Well I really like your heater idea too, but I live in Florida. It will come in handy around November though. BTW, your video didn't suck, I thought it was quite informative. Quality knowledge, Thanks!

Very cool...best video i've seen on this topic, TY !!!

Hey man I want to say your video was helpful and I've looked over many videos with me upgrading to this sand filter system. And yours was the most informative of them and brilliant ideas bud. Hats off to you on the creativity and workable diy setup.

Superb ingenuity - congrats on the pool :)

Awesome! Thank you for the share! I will be able to adapt this to what I do. When my pulp dies (because they always do) I will use my jacuzzi pump with a similar setup.

Cool to watch... but nothings Easyset about your pool LOL!

why was I screaming PUT IT BACK IN? LOL

Wish you lived in Georgia

I LOVE these pool ideas. Can you give me a list of what to buy to make one? The pollen really messed up the pool this year. I also put hoses on the roof but the hose ends or metal parts rotted away. No idea why. So now we're back to square 1 with the solar heater. Being in Georgia and our pool being near a forest of trees it's a mess. What are the blue parts of the basket system? Did you get the filter baskets at walmart? Hope you can answer soon I'm hoping for a swim tomorrow and the pool bottom has these bugs and large green balls of pollen rolling around. Thank you Kody

Bah, why do DIY videos start with an up the nose intro section?

sir, where is your skimmer connected to, do you have another pump motor or is it only one ?

Grande idea. Bravissimo

yea id like to see that new skimmer too. Get to work man!! ;-)

Wow I love it!! You have really made great use of all the knowledge out there on DIY. Awesome job with well everything. I love your sprinkler system and the solar heating. The use of hard pvc piping instead of all those bumpy hoses where everything gets stuck in them, is fastinating. For your first video I give you 3 big thumbs up :) One other thing thanks for the tips on chemicals, they will really come in handy. Thanks for sharing :)

Cool build on the skimmer! How many gallons per hour does your pump do? I was thinking of building something like yours, but with an electric submersible pump. Also, did the blue part come from a pre-fab surface skimmer? Thanks for the video!
