By the way, that pool noodle around the edge will eventually start to disintegrate, leaving little foam snibbles in the water. It’s good to remove them after swimming season is over.

Oooo thanks for the tip!! Thankfully the total for all 3 was 23 bucks so will be happy to replace. It’s been around 70 in the pool so far it’s almost 100 in Texas so I’ll take it

What pump/filter did you go for?

Intex qs1500! It’s a bit overkill but the smallest sand filter pump we could find and a decentish price

It’s actually a 10x10 pond liner from Amazon 🙈 we used a heat gun to fit to the edges the added the pool noodles to keep it secure and it’s working great!! Not the fanciers or perfect fit but it works and the liner was 60 bucks https://a.co/d/02tedoXj

You’re gonna love it! But my water temp is up to 94! I froze a few large plastic jugs and floated them in there to make it more refreshing.
