BIG UPGRADE: Pool Skimmer Install on Intex Above Ground Pool | Hayward SP1091LX Dyna-Skim

Your little man looked so proud to be helping. His smile made me smile. Great job dad.

We have a $10,000 above ground pool with two skimmers and it still doesn't catch all the bugs I don't think anything other than a person permanently patrolling with a net 24/7 would get rid of the debris completely you did a great job Sam

You are very nice to watch and hear. Calm and clear. Keep up the good work!

We finally broke down and got a 16inch Intex sand filter. It made a huge difference for our skimmer because of the high volume of water and it being able to push high enough volume into the pool to really keep the water circulating around the pool to the skimmer. best 300 bucks I ever spent.

A large piece of shadecloth draped over the pool at night, or when not in use, can help keep bugs and leaves out of the pool, or a pool ‘blanket’ which can also warm the water a little.

Very nice job there! My only advice would be that where you zip tied that hose to the pool leg, insert an old cut garden hose to absorb vibrations that occur in pool plumbing as the water rushes through the system. This will greatly reduce unwanted cut-in to your new hoses where they touch anything solid like a pool leg or even another nearby hose. This isolating technique I used for years in the car wash industry to eliminate early deterioration of the many plumbing lines that are run throughout car wash facilities. You can use a small cut piece of garden hose or a cut used old radiator hose or even a rolled up old rubber car Matt. Good luck with your pool and you will find many of your best family memories will be made right there in that pool. My grown kids still talk about our midnight summer swims!

Great content as always! Love it when your boys pitch in to help. It shows that they really feel a part of the family.

I love when the boys are involved always a great time.

Followed the links, got the stuff and installed today 6,11,24 . Running like a champ , Love it so far. I did SPLIT the seal and installed it without draining the water. Running good so far.

You are man of many skills. Love how you had your son in the pool helping.

Wonderful to see your boys enjoying their life! This was a win..win!

Hi Sam and Angela & boys, I bet you are all loving the pool. Can't wait to see the deck!

Finally someone realized you can work from the outside of the pool instead of leaning over and working from the inside and also not split the butterfly gasket in half! Nice Job!

Thank you thank you thank you! Super great video from start to finish, especially when lil man was helping. Great job dad! I’m so glad you showed the way your return lines and skimmer went to the pump and filter.

Hey guys, my husband built a small house over our pool pumps to protect them in the winter and from the sun in summer. Worked great.

You could make an opening in the deck to get to the opening of the skimmer. It would be a little trap door.🙂

I looove the pool! And how you explain everything so plainly...even I could follow your directions! (just NEVER ask me to finish sheetrock🤣it's bad!) Some great help you have! They are growing up tooooo fast!! Hope y'all have an awesomely blessed weekend! 🙋Hey Angela! Bet you're making soap to beat the band! Have a blessed day!

We used to have a pool, and we had a haywood filter and skimmer. Couldn't have lived without the bug catcher was great. Doug , you right we kept ours halfway. Good luck

We were considering do this. After watching this, we are going to do this. The installation looks easy. * We upgraded our pump to a 1 hp Hayward pump after 1 month. HUGE difference. Floor vacuum (Hayward Wanda) started working like it should. Water easier to keep clean. * Enclosed the pump in a mini-shed this year. Can barely hear the pump run now.

So glad you’re sharing this. I’ve been stuck working on ground prep still at my place. So I am living vicariously through your videos.
