Above Ground Pool Liner Installation – DIY or Hire Someone?

A few years ago, I wrote a blog post on above ground pool installations and mentioned a small part about the liner installation. You can find that post here – DIY Job??? Above Ground Pool Installation.

Due to a recent trip out to a new customers home, I figured I would write one about DIY above ground liner installation. A couple of days ago, my crew and I arrived at a customers’ house and we had no idea what we were about to get into. We are usually well prepared with the correct tools, pumps, materials, etc… but this job was a bit different. I walked into the backyard, I knew this was going to be an all day job…

Our customer, who we will call Mr. H, was preparing to get his above ground pool ready for the upcoming swim season and decided to purchase a liner online. Now, we will tell you right up front that you can find cheaper liners online, but there are a few risk factors that are involved with an online liner purchase.

Here are the biggest issues I have personally ran into with liners that were purchased online.

1. Some customers do not order the correct size liner. I have been to many homes where they thought they had a 21′ round pool and it turned out to be a 24′ round. The trick here is to measure the bottom, inside of the pool and not the top.
2. When the liner is shipped, some shipping companies do not handle with care. I have also been out to many homes where we opened up the box and upon inspection, we found multiple holes. Rule of thumb, if you find one hole, you will find may holes.
3. Sometimes, a company will ship the wrong pattern or the wrong color.

Mr. H experienced two of the issues above…Click here to continue reading

Above Ground Pool Decks – Should You Get One?

Many of our customers frequently ask the same question – should we get a deck with our new above ground pool?

Adding a deck can really change the overall look of any above ground pool, as well as make it easier to get into the pool and have some free space to entertain friends and family. A deck can expand the pool area so if you wanted to lay out by the pool or enjoy a nice dinner with the family.

If you’re looking to have a temporary pool to set up just for a few years until the kids are out of the house, or plan on moving soon, then a deck might not be the best choice. However, if your looking for something a little more permanent, then a deck is the way to go. Any above ground deck installation can certainly add a unique look to your pool and backyard, whether it is a small deck just used to get in and out of the pool, or a full deck, 360 degrees around the pool.

The skilled, in house carpenters at Amos can design and build any type of deck you are looking for…..the options are endless. If you are interested in a deck please don’t hesitate to call us at (346) 317-1482‬.

10 Benefits Of Above Ground Pools in Houston

Facts – above ground pools in Houston popularity will never die. They are great fun to family and friends. Regardless of the climate you are in, a pool is a benefit. Whether they are used to cool off or simply relax, pools are great to have. The question is what is the best kind of pool to get? An above ground pool has many pros that cannot be overlooked when comparing it to in-ground pools. Here is a list of pros for above ground pools in Houston, TX.

1. Your taxes stay the same. In ground pools raise the value of your home, this raising your taxes, but above ground pools are not a permanent fixture in the home which means that it avoids property taxes.
2. Above Ground Pools cost much less than in-ground pools. You can save thousands by choosing an above ground pool.

Both pools have their merits, but there is simply no reason other than preference to choose an in ground pool over and Above Ground Pools. Above Ground Pools offer everything that in-ground pools do and then some. Take it from Amos Pool Company – Above Ground Pools are where its at.

DIY Job??? Above Ground Pool Installation in Houston, TX

Every year, I get a called out to at least 10 jobs where the homeowner tries to install their newly bought above ground pool. Now, there is no shame in trying, but there are many parts of an above ground pool installation where experience only will get the job done the right way. For example, the ground work and installing the liner.

Every pool I install, I get the ground level to within an 8th of an inch. There is no special science to achieve a great above ground pool pad, but I have been doing it for a long time and know exactly how to do it. The “ground work” is by far the most important part of an above ground pool installation. If you take the time and perfectly level a pad, the installation will go much smoother. I have seen pools that were installed by homeowners that were so out of level, the water could not be circulated – The water level couldn’t reach the skimmer without overflowing on one side!

Second, the liner. I have seen some horrendous liner drops in my day. Not only by homeowners, but by people who call themselves “pool professionals.” Dropping in an above ground pool liner or an in-ground pool liner is no doubt an art. You need to know exactly what you are doing in order to get a wrinkle free liner. Experience only is how you will achieve a this. At Amos, we require all foreman to have at least 3 years experience before they can drop in liners.

In my 15 years of experience, I have yet to see a homeowner install a pool the correct way. If you are thinking about purchasing an above ground pool or having a new liner installed, please call Amos Pool Company.

Above Ground Pool & In-Ground Pool SAFETY

As the swim season approaches, I figure we have talk about an extremely important issue – Swimming pool SAFETY. A few times a year, Amos Pool Company has to decline work for liner installations or pool installations due to unsafe conditions.

If you are thinking about buying or already have a pool, please make sure that you are following all safety requirements. A great website for information on pool safety and safety requirements is http://www.poolsafely.gov

Please review this quick checklist to ensure that your pool stays a fun and safe environment.

• The two most important – RESPONSIBLE ADULT SUPERVISION & NEVER LEAVE A CHILD UNATTENDED IN A POOL.

• Keep pool ring buoy or approved flotation device(s) near the pool. Make sure people know where they are located in case of an emergency.

• Make sure a first aid kit is near by.

• If you have a main drain(s), call a pool professional to see if your drain cover(s) meet current code.

• The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act was passed and took effect in December 2008. (Anti-entrapment main drains).

• Make sure your pool is completely fenced in. The fence should be at least 4 ft. in height.

• Make sure that there are no electrical lines above or near the pool.

• Keep all chemicals AWAY from the pool. Pool chemicals react when wet.

• Keep toys out of the pool area when pool is not in use.

• NEVER dive into an above ground pool. Always know the depth of the pool before you dive.

• Post the 911 emergency telephone number.

• Have family members enroll in CPR or first aid courses, if they have not already.
