Dirt is gon na get into your Intex pool, no matter what, but your pool is like every other pool out there, every other above ground pool. It is no different., But because you have a smaller Intex or EasySet pool. You have a few more options at your disposal.. Let's dive, in.

All right, quick disclaimer.. I wan na talk about the term Intex pools. Intex is a brand name. They go by many names.

These pools. There's Intex, there's EasySet, there's quick set up there's blow up pools. They are all the same: thing. They're small above ground pools that you can quickly set up and break down if you need to every year.

And if I missed anything in this video, just please leave a comment. I'll be happy to get to it., And also just because we're gon na talk about pool care. Everyone's got a different opinion on how to take care of your pool, and all of them are their own way. Just follow somebody.

You trust., If you trust us at Swim University. This is just how we do it.. So, let's get into it.. Okay, the easiest way to get dirt out of your Intex pool is to use a skimmer net., It's a flat net that you can use to skim.

The surface of the pool - and you can also get debris off the bottom of your pool., If you're very diligent, you can keep the bottom and top of your pool free of debris. If you just go out there like every day every other day and just do a quick skim, a skim on the bottom., It's really all you need to do., Because your pool is smaller than a giant above ground pool it won't take as long.. You should brush your swimming pool, just as often as you brush your teeth, and I hope that you brush your teeth every day and I guess, with a swimming pool, you don't have to brush every day, maybe every other day and get that debris off the sides Off your ladder off the bottom and it'll just be a lot easier in the long run. You won't have any gunk or any like algae growth happening in these little.

You know crevices around the pool, if you just give it a nice brushing, and you can do that, while you skim. The third thing you could do is you could hook up an actual manual vacuum. If you have an Intex pool, they actually sell these vacuums. For your pool., They hook up to your filter system and they create a suction using the pump and the filter..

It's a vacuum head and a pole.. You can just push that along the bottom of the pool and it'll suck up all the debris into your filter. System., If you have one of these quick set pools chances are you you can get a tiny little vacuum that can help clear up that debris. And then finally - and I think the best thing you could do is you can actually get a robotic pool cleaner.

Now, If you're familiar with like above ground, pools traditional above ground, pools or in ground pools, they make these robots that actually go along the bottom of the pool and the sides of the pool.. But in your case you don't need that. That's overkill.! You can use something called a Pool Blaster, which is essentially like a dust buster.. You know those dust busters from the 70s.
It's like that. It's battery operated. You can attach it to a pole and it's all self contained.. You can just go down to the bottom of your pool and you can use a Pool Blaster or basically a pool dust buster and because you have a smaller pool.

This is such a great option for you.. You can vacuum the ladders, you can vacuum anywhere. You want to., I highly recommend that you invest in one of these.. It is gon na change your life, if you don't already have one..

So to recap: you got ta skim, the pool you can skim the top. You can skim the bottom. You should brush your pool again every other day for both of those. Brush any crevices and just get debris out of there out into the open.

So it doesn't fester.. You can use a pool vacuum, a manual pool vacuum which uses the power and the suction of your pump and filter to lift debris off the ground.. It's made by any one of the manufacturers that your pool actually is. Or the one that I highly recommend is getting a Pool Blaster, which is basically a pool dust.

Buster battery operated self contained.. You can put it on a pole, that's the best option for you.. So, thank you very much for watching. Real quick before we go got ta.

    How do you clean an intex 8×32 Pool without a filter? Are you in Barrhaven ?

    Great video!…..but any ideas on cleaning the OUTSIDE of an Intex pool? Thanks!

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Grubbbee says:

    My local Canadian Tire sells an 8' pool but it has no ports for a pump, nor does it come with any pump. It does have a drain which can take a garden hose apparently. So is it just a bad choice even for a cheap pool? Do I need to get one with a pump and all the chemicals?

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vimarie Rodriguez says:

    Do you recommend cutting any trees around the pool?

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vicky Tyner says:

    How do clean the outside of the pool

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chito's World says:

    I wanna use less harsh chemicals . There’s this product called ECOONE. Make a video how to use their products .

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Croatia Outlander says:

    Easy set goes by Intex, quick set goes by bestway. So what you named are all the models. Above ground pool brands are Intex, Coleman, Bestway, SummerWaves, Summer Escapes. Service area Kanata??

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jennifer Bamford says:

    What about if the linear smells what can i use to clean it?

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Samantha Craven says:

    So I built a pool. The liner is an actual pool liner. But I do not have a filter or any type of pump connected to the pool. How would I go about keeping it clean?

    Had set up a Intex pool back in April. Come end of June, a huge African dust storm rolled in and the water got kind of a greenish yellow tone to it that I thought was dust collected in the water. As I'm getting ready to deal w it… My wife went into labor. Turns out it was algae….algae that went without being addressed for about 3 weeks as we settled into new parent life. Lemme tell you… Cleaning an unchecked algae bloom of 3 weeks.. Not fun.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Darius Villa says:

    I have a surface skimmer that sometimes breaks off. I fix that by screwing the nuts the hold the net when all the net is firmly inside.
    I have my pool on a patterned concrete floor. Tell me about all that dirt and stuff man that builds up in the creases.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sam Santos says:

    Hi, was looking into a pool blaster. Will it pick up alge without spreading it back into the pool?

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Shapkauski says:

    I'm wondering about the vinyl ring on top. My pool is 5 yrs old and the ring is drying out and seems to be losing air

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Princess Queen says:

    Can i use shock without the filter ? I got small pool

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dana Nuber says:

    We added a salt water system to our pool… makes cleaning so easy! However my question is how do we clean up the inflated top ring. It has a gunky film that I can't seem to get off with my usual cleaning solutions… is there a simple rubber cleaner I can use?

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars KMSBISMARCK says:

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars RepaidChalice37 says:

    I have been loving your channel! We got a summer waves metal frame pool last season and have used your channel to help us clean the pool after opening so it’s swimmable ( getting rid of water boatmen in the process🤢 ) and set up our brand new sand filter. the way we usually clean the pool is for big jobs we hook up a manual vacuum to the filter pump to get good suction. For the small once a week maintenance we use a “pool dust buster” as you call it. Great tool if you keep up with the vacuuming. Pain in the butt if the job is any bigger! Thanks for all the tips I will continue to watch this channel for any pool questions I may come across Service area Barrhaven??

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Maria B says:

    Thanks for the help

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jamie Roberts says:

    I've heard about upgrading the 10ft summer waves type d pump to at least 1000gph, but I have no clue how to go about this. What do I need to know sizing wise to make sure it fits my hoses? Or would adapters be easier? I'm very new to the pool care world despite enjoying them all in my youth. Thanks!

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars YertaOne says:

    I’ve added “pH Up” to increase alkalinity. How long do I wait to shock? 1485 gallons.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jocelyn Louise says:

    Will a Pool Blaster be able to pick up mustard algae? Thanks for your videos! I've learned so much from them including that we have mustard algae 🤦🏼‍♀️ I think I've got it killed just trying to vacuum it out and had no luck hooking up the manual hose and vacuum to our Summer Waves pool.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Danielle Black says:

    I paid $80 for the pool and a blaster is $250.00. Is there a reasonable way to get the white cloudy stuff out from the bottom?

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Magical Melody says:

    I don’t know. Some of these pools are pretty big. You can get them up to 32 ft long or 26 ft round. Mine is 22, which is a pretty normal size pool

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lizeth Ray says:

    How can I get the water from getting cloudy? Or how to clean it without draining the pool? Service area Nepean??

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ok says:

    where can i buy a cheap pool blaster? Service area Orleans??

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars johnny wattz says:

    Bro, I just ordered my first above ground easy intex. I’m not looking to F it up. Has to be legit. Following your advice! Are you in Ottawa ?

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Summer Orta says:

    I have a 550 gallon easy set pool by H2O Go. I want to know how to keep it clean and clear without having to drain and refill it everytime the kids want to play in it. I paid $50 for the pool at the Dollar General, do I need a pump?? It would cost more than the pool did to buy even the smallest simplest one on the market. Is the pool blaster enough without the pump??

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ice man says:

    Can I add chlorinated Clorox pool and spa tablets for my 640 gallon blow up pool for my kids? Can I just drop 1 tablet in and change the water out like once a week?

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars dayziez says:

    Who has it?

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars George’s Fantasy Football League says:

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Etan Goldberg says:
