About how long does it take approximately to clear a standard sized above ground pool that has 3-4' of water over the tarp?

we use this for our inground 36000 gallon pool cover. can clear 6in of water off that in less than an hour...

We have never had 3' to 4' of water. We usually have less than a foot of water when we pump. A foot of water takes about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. I hope that helps.

I think that it shouldn't take more than 3-4 hours, depending on the size of your pool.

It takes about 15 minutes but you must realize you will have at least 2-3 inches of water in your tarp because the pump will suck air and water until at the end. The pump does best when it is submerged in the water.

You'll have to keep an eye on it to not burn the pump when the water is gone but I'd say maybe 4 to 6 hours or less.

Most of your time will be spent getting it level and checking it while it fills. I seem to recall within a couple hours maximum of putting it up and starting the hose at full blast, my kids were swimming in it each time. Sorry I couldn't be more exact.

A lot! The pool has to fill up and then the sprinkler runs over the slide while in operation. Breakdown is the tedious part. After you drain the water you should let the whole thing stay inflated for a while as to dry it out mostly. It takes extra time but well worth the extra care. I used mine for three summers straight no issues when properly dried.

I have an above ground 24' round. My property slants to an 18" drop so the pool didn't need to be fenced all around. I used 5 sections of the fence for the area that wasn't 48" high from the ground. It wasn't hard to put up but you needed 2 people who are familiar with tools.

The best way we found to complete drain/dryout the pool/slide (sidewinder) is to turn off blower and allowing deflate and drain like normally would (be sure to open plugs under pool). Then once most of the water has drain roll (like a toothpaste tube) pressing as much out water as possible. Then unroll and re-inflate - - - -this should help the trapped water to escape via the seams, etc...allow to stand atleast 15-20 minutes and then deflate and re-roll again. Hopefully this helps!!

It takes 10 to 12 tabs to fill it. The flow is adjustable, and depending upon you pools chlorine needs you should be able to get as much as three weeks out of it loaded. I can't imagine getting more than that. We don't run our pool in the winter so this is only for summer months.

Make sure the ground is level. Clear the area of any small rocks, sticks, or roots. We have used the provided tarp, sand, and old solar pool covers for under the pool, and all were fine. Very little else to worry about. The video is easier to follow than the printed instructions.

Usually only a few seconds. Make sure you didn't fill it too high. Mine would not produce a mist when I filled it over the line a little.

It doesn't take long because it is baking soda. Once you have your water balanced right once a week should work unless you're using the pool alot. If using alot then three times a week.

It's about 40 feet. I use it on a 25 ft round above ground pool and it reaches the entire pool area. You need to untangle the cord each use otherwise works well. Wish they would come out with a retrofit to have a revolving connector so the cord won't tangle. Takes a bit of time to untangle. That's my only complaint.Good luck,

Water rolls off the tarp pretty quick.. it will only sag if you set it up loose and there are pockets for the water to gather.. the water never soaks into the tarp.. few shakes and its almost dry..

About 2 bags or around 90 lbs.I filled this filter 3/4 full of pool sand.The pool water is still crystal clear. I use one gallon of vertex per week and a float dispersed full of chlorine tablets.I recommend after you get water clear, put water stabilizer into skimmer.It keeps the water clear all season long.My pool is slightly smaller at 48 inches tall. If you have a 1.5 horsepower pump this filter should work fine.I usually run my pump 8 hours a day.

I would say three weeks is the absolute maximum. And, depending on how long you run your pool and how hot it is, that may be stretching it.

Don't run it out of the water. Put it in the water, let it settle on the bottom, plug the cord into the base, turn the power on the base, and select large or small pool. It should take off within a few seconds.

Its good for any size above ground pool. Only if its big you need to leave it more time doing the job.It is very helpfull since you have to do less work.

I have a 18 x 33 above ground pool and it cleans it very well. I should have bought one years ago. Love it.
