In this video I'll take you through the process of what I did to clear up the algae from my above ground intex frame pool. After shocking the pool I created a sand filter to help filter out the dead algae. Below are some of the parts you may need if you want to try to put together a sand filter yourself. You can find most of these parts at your local hardware store. Or if you are really interested in a sand filter I'm including what I will most likely be upgrading to in the future for my 12 foot pool below as well.

I love seeing green pools, algae help clean pool naturally. Great job. People love hard work and enjoy clean water :)

Wow that’s a great idea. I have one of those pools too and I keep the pump running 4 hours on the morning and the another 2 or three on the evening and sometimes I have to clean the filter twice a day.

When I had a pool this size I used a similar contraption to clear the metals out of the pool water from my well water. I filled it completely and tightly with polyfill and let the filter run the water through it for about 24 hours and the water was crystal clear. Worked like a charm

Very ingenious. I wish they would invent a chlorine dispenser that automatically drops another puck into the float.

The first year we had a pool it turned green with algae. The next year we set the pool on a rug of plastic (fake) grass, underneath and around, and also used a shade cloth above. Since then no problems. I think the grass kept it clean from dirty feet and the shade cloth stopped the sun from helping algae growth. No chemicals just vacuumed out dust.

Ours started out this way this season we are so upset it came straight out of the hose brownish green our County water dept was having issues. We can't get it clear no matter what we've tried. I want to try this.

Using a threaded lid for the bucket should remove the issue of the lid coming off and remove the need for elevating it.

I like it. I'm going to build one! An idea though, what if you made the pump outlet into a waterfall deal? I know my kids would love that idea.

If you have most of the materials, filtering through sand is great. Since I couldn’t leave this set up last year, this year I picked up a used sand filter and pump from Facebook marketplace and the pool has stayed much cleaner. The waterfall idea sounds cool though.

@@Type5Reviews I'm just sick of store pumps dying on me at this point. Gonna get a good pump and just do this on a permanent level with a timer

NOOOO, the poly fill is to be removable!!!!!! If you were going to use it like this, you should have put it on top of the sand. It's GOING to clog!!!

I didn't have to vacuum. I poured one gallon liquid chlorine. Half gallon of algae guard/killer. One chlorine tablet and extra blue shock. Let pump run. All algae cxne to top of pool and the filter filtered it all out. I have canister filter pump. I did have to change out filters every 2 hours. But the algae is all gone.
