The idea of floating around, enjoying the sun, while staying cool in my very own backyard stirs up a feeling of luxury that leaves me feeling giddy. Enter Rustan’s who today shared with The Manila Times a curated list of necessities that will have moms, dads and kids covered for the season. Jen, our area doesn’t require a permit or grounding/bonding. Does your township require the grounding/bonding for above ground pools as well as in-ground pools (our area excepts above-ground pools from nearly all of the in-ground requirements). A sump pump may be necessary to drain the final few inches of water. Very quickly, submerge the bucket and place the open end over the water inlet to the pump and filter.
Intex sells solar blankets , though these blankets do not have high user ratings. The Intex metal-frame pool options come in sizes ranging from 10′ across x 30″ deep to a whopping 24′ across by 52″ deep. An “Ultra Frame” pool style is also available and boasts a stronger liner and an easier assembly method . While not large enough to feel intrusive in the yard, this pool is still big enough to accommodate a lot of kids. They wouldn’t be able to float as the little ones did—the water is too shallow—but they’d be able to hang out in it while cooling off and taking selfies, which is all our teenagers want to do anyway.
It managed to combat the constant influx of dirt and grime from little feet jumping in and out of the pool. Our younger ones refused to wear flip flops when walking to or from the pool, so they gave this filtration system a run for its money between the bits of grass, leaves, and dirt stuck to their feet. Even with that influx of grime, the water turned from cloudy to clear every time we ran the pump.
Note that, according to the manufacturer website, the pump and filter won’t completely prevent algae growth. In order to do that, Intex suggests purchasing an Intex Krystal Clear Saltwater System, which runs about $140 on the low end. A saltwater system will help maintain the correct chlorine and pH levels in the pool, which is necessary not only to prevent algae issues but also to kill any harmful bacteria that may be looming in the pool.
But, after a quick trip to the store and another new pool, we were ready to try again and hope we had better luck. This may be the first time in two years that most kids will be able to explore the wonders of the great outdoors.

However, my husband did not share in my joy as he was fully convinced that assembling it would be a weekend-long project that would end with me in tears and him in frustration. According to everything I have read the intex baby float will collapse no matter you do. Everything I read says the ground has to PERFECTLY level or it will collapse. So in other words If you buy one it is going to collapse sooner or later anyways.
The same goes for the liner—we needed one person to hold the heavy-duty pool liner up while the other person slid the metal beams through the liner sleeves. As expected given the minimal amount of parts in the box, setup was essentially snap-and-go. All it took was two people, some patience, and some elbow grease—we didn’t even need the DVD to get the frame built. I spent the first hours that the kids were in the pool, yelling at them not to bump into the pool walls or create too many waves; I was sure it was going to explode and wash them out into the yard. This 12-foot by 30-inch round Intex pool was the perfect fit for this family. Owning a swimming pool has always been a dream of mine.
Infused with organic aloe vera, known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, it’s one of the gentlest baby wipes to prevent nappy rash. Summer is here but having been confined inside the home for what seems like forever has made many people unaccustomed to outdoor summer essentials. Store the poles and connectors separately, to prevent any punctures to the liner during storage. Store the liner in its original box, or in a large container with no sharp edges. Clean the liner with a gentle soap and water solution, and allow it to dry thoroughly.
