The longevity of an above-ground pool can vary widely, but most above-ground pool manufacturers and dealers consistently cite a 7- to 15-year lifespan. However, there is a major caveat, which is the lifespan of the liner. PVC, plastic, and vinyl liners can become brittle within five years and may need to be replaced during the lifetime of your above-ground pool. A well-maintained, semi-inground pool is more durable and may last up to 20 years, in large part because the components are partially protected from sun damage and are subjected to less structural stress. Of course, these numbers are widely variable and depend on a range of circumstances. For example, a steel-frame above-ground pool will last a lot longer if it is carefully monitored and treated for rust.

Saltwater: This type of above-ground pool comes with a saltwater system (also known as a salt chlorinator) for achieving the correct salinity, though, you need to add your own salt. Rather than adding chemicals to the pool yourself, saltwater systems convert salt to chlorine to keep your water sterilized. Saltwater pools do not feel like swimming in the ocean. Instead, the salt chlorinator system creates a less-aggressive chlorine smell and a soft, silky water feel. Our Best Saltwater option, the Intex Ultra XTR Pool Set with Saltwater System comes with everything you need, including a volleyball set! This is normal.

With a little more math, you can also determine the volume of your pool in square feet or inches. For a rectangular pool, simply multiply the height, width, and length. To calculate the volume of a circular pool, you'll need to use the formula V= π r 2h, multiplying the radius squared, the height, and pi together. Make sure to keep your units consistent (for example, plugging only inches into the formula). That will tell you the capacity of your pool in square inches.

All Doughboy Pools are built to such high standards that any of the ranges you buy will last fr years. Benefits include When buying an above-ground pool, one of the most important considerations is size. You need to make sure it not only fits in your yard but also encompasses a few feet of space on all sides. We recommend accurately and carefully measuring your outdoor area a couple of times before buying. The two measurements that are likely to be most important are the square footage of your new pool's footprint and the capacity in gallons. This is normally caused either by the pool not being set up on flat level ground or someone standing or leaning on the frame of the pool. We would suggest moving the pool to a more suitable location. We would also advise that you do not stand on the frame of the pool, the ladder must be used for entering and exiting the pool. This type of damage is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty so you may need to replace parts.Includes all of the components you need: Pool, Ladder, Cover and Krystal Clear™ Filtration and Sanitation system The Bestway Power Steel 16ft Above Ground Rectangular Pool is perfect for endless fun all summer long. To locate the puncture on an inflatable liner it is best to apply diluted washing up liquid from a spray bottle to the surface of the whole liner and around the inflation valve. Bubbles should appear where the puncture is located. You won't get extra accessories with this pool set, but it does come with a filter pump that has a water capacity of 530 gallons per hour, so it should keep this small pool nice and clean. We found the pump easy to use with just a simple on/off switch. Plus, the pump includes a ground fault circuit interrupter, a handy safety feature that will shut off the pool's pump if water gets into the electrical current.
