Bestway Above Ground Pool is Ready!! Solar Pool Heater Sneak Peak

[@astroplutonium]

Great project, i have a smaller pool like the one you have but i am wearing myself out trying to get the fittings. Have you maybe published the STLs for the connector anywhere?

[@k6outdoors]

Hey sorry for the delayed reply, I have not posted the STL but can. Depending on the materials used we have had different levels of success with the connectors lasting. Thanks for stopping in!

Looking good!! The boys were in ours after I filled it with water temperatures in the 60’s. 👍

[@k6outdoors]

That's chilly! Boys will be boys, lol

[@lorisutherlandahee2305]

how much would how much would it cost me to have you print me up a set of those couplers

[@k6outdoors]

I appreciate the inquiry on this, i am currently working to find another material that will last a little longer than the material I have. Once i figure something out I'll place them in my etsy store

[@stringzmegood]

Did u have bowing on the long stretches, it’s freaking me out!?!?!?

[@k6outdoors]

Until it's completely filled it bows in quite a bit, even when it's full there can still be a little. Thanks for stopping by!

[@piachan858]

We just put up a best way pool and we have bowing too. It’s totally freaking me out.

[@flexor212000]

@@piachan858 It's how all these pools are. Bags of water. How it works!

[@gonzalezdiana1984]

How did you prep the pool? Chlorine? Amount ? First time I buy one of these and I’m a little nervous to set it up

[@k6outdoors]

It depends on your water quality. We simply fill with water, run the filter and add a couple chlorine floaters (amzn.to/3oZCiJC). We then use test strips (amzn.to/3VlNnR7) to see where we are at and go from there with recommended chemicals. I hope this helps and thanks for stopping in!

[@ZwizzDad]

Can you tell me what stairs you have for the pool?

[@k6outdoors]

I believe they are the CONFER PLASTICS - ABOVE GROUND POOL STEPS from intheswim.com/p/above-ground-pool-steps-gray/400775.html I hope this helps

[@jskiz]

Brother what size is this pool?

[@k6outdoors]

16' x 32' x 52" tall

[@hppc90]

hey man i just got the same pool , question for you where did you bought the skimmer you have? and how did you do the installation with the hoses connection?

[@k6outdoors]

Here is a link for a similar one, verify it works with your model, it should come with everything you need. amzn.to/3byWB9V

[@morganbronner2365]

Hey! What pump is that?

[@k6outdoors]

It is the old pump from the previous pool we had, nothing special. Thanks for stopping in!

[@joanstrasser9192]

what does it cost to run this

[@k6outdoors]

The utilities needed to run the pool doesn't amount to much, but chemicals is where the cost is at. Normally a couple hundred dollars would get you through a whole season, but if you hadn't planned and bought chemicals ahead of time, chlorine is extremely expensive right now. The biggest expense is keeping the fridge full or beer! :)
