Ellisa asked:

I moved into a house that has an above ground swimming pool that is about two years old. The previous owner left some boxes labeled pool chemicals, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do with them or if I just dump them in all at once. The pool is 27 feet in diameter and 52 inches deep and it came with some kind of floater device for the chemicals. Can anybody give me some help regarding the use of pool chemicals?

Khandi asked:

I'm thinking about getting a swimming pool and I have not decided whether I should get an above ground pool or an inground pool. I guess cost will be the biggest factor. I mostly want it to cool off during the hot summer months since I live in the northeast.

What size pool should I consider? Any idea of the prices?
Jennifer Lady asked:

I am going to buy a 27 foot diameter above ground swimming pool. There is a pretty level part to my back yard, but it's still going to need to be leveled some more so I can meet the installation requirements. Is this something that I can do myself, or do I have to contract this out and have a professional do it?

There are a lot of videos showing the installation of above ground swimming pools floating around the net. Most of these show professional installation crews doing the install and feature equipment that only a professional swimming pool company would possess. This series of videos is relatively unique in that it shows the true DIYer how to install his or her own swimming pool.

During the installation process, they show a variety of different ways to do the site preparation and the pool erection depending on how much blood and sweat you want to expend on the project. Advice is given for both the hard way of doing it and the easy way, providing you have a tool rental center near you.

There are four videos in this series, so be sure to watch them all. There is a lot of work involved, and even if you decide to contract the job out, you will have an understanding and appreciation of the time and effort required to install an above ground swimming pool.
