Filtration - Pump - Above Ground Pools - The Home Depot

Question 1

How much does the actual water depth differ from the pool wall height?

Accepted Answer

The actual water depth will always be less than the stated wall height, as you shouldn't fill the pool completely to the top. Generally, you'll want to subtract about 6 inches from the wall height to estimate the usable water depth – this allows for comfortable swimming and prevents water from splashing over the sides. Many of our pools are quick to set up, and you can relax in your pool in a few short hours.

Question 2

What are some of the best-selling above ground pools?

Accepted Answer

One of our best-selling above ground pools is the Liberty 24 ft. Round 52 in. D Hard Side Pool Package.

Question 3

How do I keep my above ground pool clean and healthy?

Accepted Answer

Keeping your above ground pool clean is easier than you think! Regular maintenance involves testing and balancing the water chemistry with chemicals we sell, skimming debris, and using a filter to circulate and clean the water. A pool maintenance kit with a skimmer, vacuum, and test strips will be a great starting point, and you can always add accessories like automatic cleaners later.

Question 4

How difficult is putting one of these above ground pools together?

Accepted Answer

Most of our above ground pool selection is designed with DIYers in mind and comes with detailed, step-by-step instructions, so with a friend or two to help, you should be able to assemble it yourself in a weekend.

Question 5

How do I ensure the frame of my above ground pool lasts as long as possible, regardless of the material?

Accepted Answer

Regular cleaning and proper water chemistry are key to protecting any pool frame! Be sure to follow the manufacturer's maintenance guidelines, and consider a pool cover during the off-season to shield your investment from the elements, extending its lifespan and keeping your pool ready for fun for years to come.

Question 6

Can I fit more kids than the stated adult capacity?

Accepted Answer

Adult capacity is based on the average adult's size and water displacement for safe usage. Staying close to the stated adult capacity is best to maintain optimal water level, filtration efficiency, and overall safety. Consider the up to nine adults pool size as a great option for families with children, providing ample room for fun without overcrowding.
