Wize Guy answers:

Hi, if you would like to purchase an above ground swimming pool then check out this site and rate them by yourself. I have been going back to them and its worth it. They have everything you need. No more browsing on which is better. Their service is the best, as well.

Linda asks…

Would a sand base or vermiculite base, used with above ground swimming pools, be the best?

I was planning on purchasing an above ground swimming pool(can’t place an in ground pool due to rocky soil). The base is the material used below the liner of the pool. I need opinions as to what you would use if you were setting up an above ground swimming pool in your yard. I’ve been told that the sand would cause troubles with wall expansion by getting into cracks, etc. I’ve researched vermicultie and it is apparently contaminated with asbestos. Which base would you use? Fine masonary sand or vermiculite?

Wize Guy answers:

Don’t use masonry sand, that would cause a problem.

The sand you want to use is regular play sand. Depending on the size of the pool you can either pick up 50lb bags of this at your local hardware store or you can have a few yards dropped off from your local topsoil/landscape/rockery place. If you use the latter you will have to pick out some larger rocks and possibly some organic debris but it is much cheaper if you need a lot of it.

Vermiculite will crush and does not stand up to pressures at all. For this reason alone I would not suggest it. Combined with the fact that it contains asbestos (which many many products do by the way) and you have a slight health hazard.

Lizzie asks…

is there anywhere to rent above ground swimming pools in manchester cheaply?

im having a party in May and was wondering if there were any above ground pools to rent for 1 day, not the paddling pool types a proper medium-large pool would be better. I live in manchester. I have a lot of space in my garden so that shouldn’t be an issue.

William asks…

Where is a good site to get some basic info on above ground swimming pools?

Is there a good internet site to get basic info on above ground swimming pools. Like what to look for when buying a pool, what type of filtration to use, price guidelines. I know nothing about what it would take to install a pool, or how much it would cost, and am just looking for a good jumping off point.

Wize Guy answers:

For starters just do a quick search on Google for information about above ground swimming pools. You can even search article directories and find good resources their. You can also search YouTube and learn all about above ground pools and even watch videos on how to maintain them. Just remember that above ground pools are more prone to leaks. If that is the case you need a leak professional. I had a leak and used http://swimmingpoolleakdetection.com and they guy was amazing. So just keep that in mind so a year down the road when you have a leak you aren’t surprised.
