how to clean a above ground intex brand swimming pool.?

Question

its a soft side intex 18ftx4ft pool. i pulled it out today and was going to set it up, but it is filthy and i want advice on the best way to clean it. we moved in a big hurry last year and it sat on the side of the house and has mud and water all over the inside and the out side and i would like to clean it up for the kids without having to buy a new one. any suggestion would be appreciated very much, thanks in advance for the help.

Answer 1

Use a good cleaner with a hose and some soft scrubbers . Have some helpers (the kids?) hold up the sides while you clean and rinse. Use a shop vac or pump to get out the water in the bottom. Be carefull of water and electricity. When the inside is clean fill it and then clean the outside. Any stains will likely fade from using chlorine.

Answer 2

Scrub brush, bucket of soapy water, and a hose. Spread the pool out as much as possible and give it a good soaking to break up any large pieces, then scrub it down and rinse it well before filling.

Other than that you can fill it, scrub it, vac out anything that's left in the bottom. Though this is the harder way to do it as most hose end vacs won't pick up small particles.

Answer 3

not sure what kind of pool you have but try putting up so it will be easier to clean then just a scrub brush and bucket with some bleach and start scrubbing rinse it if you can or just use a bunch of towels towels to wipe it out and then fill it up
