[@arthurh1969]

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

[@digitaldoc1976]

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?

[@TheAlexmarek]

Hats off to you for your brilliant invention. Definitely love the skimmer!!!

[@kodyfeltman]

Thanks man first compliment for a long video. It was my first ever. I have an awesome idea for filtering better than my other idea. Stay tuned I'll post a video soon!

[@josephhovland7714]

Great tips, Kody! Thanks for sharing!

[@truckgotstuck]

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.

[@DavidCoronaSandoval]

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

[@CUdetoom]

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

[@josorrow2464]

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

[@zyfix]

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.

[@pg9112471]

Cool pool ideas. I have some of my own ideas I'm testing. I'm experimenting with solar panels, ionisers, fountains, filtration etc. Hope to have a product I can market soon. And what I mean by market, I mean craigslist, eBay and amazon. Wish you much luck, you sound inspired and the Mrs. Looks like she's got your back. Awsome.!!!

[@KI-qx5vo]

Superb ingenuity - congrats on the pool :)

[@cougartail64]

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 :)

[@galaxyprime6543]

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

[@gtiplus]

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!

[@cas46per]

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

[@kodyfeltman]

I made a new filter system that works much better than the skimmer basket. I will post a video as soon as I can to show people. It's amazing and keeps my pool much cleaner!

[@simyosef]

Where's the new video

[@MrTheeduck2000]

Well, I been waiting 4 years, where is the video. LOL

[@MaurizioVelati]

Grande idea. Bravissimo

[@shortribslongbow5312]

Good job thanks for sharing.

[@no9udt]

Pure Genius! Did you up-grade the "OUT" and "IN" on the wall of your INTEX EZ SET pool? I have ones that have a black tube that sticks out and you clamp the filter in and out hoses to them. I woul like to up grade to what you have and build my own plunger valves. I think i would have to cut the vinyl to do mak the hole biggerand that freaks me out. if it dident work i might be out a pool.....

[@johnniecameron8829]

Cool setup

[@ricky240z]

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.

[@alexanderhernandez2047]

Do you have the plans for that ingenious skimmer

[@kristysantibanez7888]

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

[@cindyericks]

Excellent video

[@dalenepienaar9072]

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

[@dbkstylez]

why was I screaming PUT IT BACK IN? LOL

[@logarin]

RIP pump bearings

[@lukahorvat1428]

10/10 sir!

[@no9udt]

Kody, would you be willing to share you parts list on the awesome Skimmer idea? i really need help with this one. Please?

[@Vickie1541]

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!

[@idontknow28471]

Hi, Where did you buy the actual skimmer basket? Do they sell them at pool supply stores? Thanks!

[@zacheryscalf154]

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!

[@kathyfann]

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!!!

[@esteyn64]

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

[@1bboyred1]

really nice, thanks a lot for this tips! really helpful as im about to buy a pool soon :) but only a 12foot one though, can u tell me how much chlorine/ph will i need to put every week?

[@kodyfeltman]

I use about one 3 inch chlorine tab in a floater a week. Once you get your ph ideal about 7.5 by testing with strips I add borax to help maintain a stable ph so it doesn't fluctuate so much. This also makes the water sparkle! If it goes green you can always just add a bottle of bleach to shock your pool. Just plain bleach doesn't have all the other chemicals the tablets have which will raise your acidity levels and the only way to drop them again is by draining out some water and adding new water. Plus it is the exact same ingredients just a lot cheaper!

[@aramakdam7623]

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

[@zdarding]

What size PVC did u use?

[@mrs.rivera8052]

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

[@ra1510]

Spec on the skimmer?

[@mrzif0013]

go to a sand filter system you will love it!

[@Mmaattyy]

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

[@cas46per]

Wish you lived in Georgia

[@georgep2712]

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

[@neiljenkins6398]

Some Really great ideas here. simple but effective. how does the pump cope with pumping the water up into the solar panel? I tried some thing similar with my pump but it does not pump up onto the roof (2.5Meters)

[@kodyfeltman]

I upgraded from single canister pump to the one in my video. You should do the same. You can find one for around $75 on ebay and it is a lot more powerful plus your pool will be so much easier to maintain. It is definitely worth the headache of a dirty pool. Plus works great with the solar system!

[@teksatan4699]

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

[@Nightl3lade]

couldnt concentrate listening to that poor pump

[@flyby4by]

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

[@Virago6]

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

[@tiffanympm]

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

[@beerrichard9185]

Where's that new skimmer?

[@LoganTanner]

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

[@ericpayne318]

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

[@inigomontoya3750]

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

[@keshaborja8564]

Really enjoy it. Let's check Avasva plans also

[@ettienneschwagele6486]

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

[@_DrDrakeRamoray]

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

[@makatitalent5422]

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

[@MrTheeduck2000]

nah, takes up way too much space.

[@damedicmt]

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