Buying a New Above Ground Pool

I am considering buying an Out Back 33" Brisbane above ground swimming pool. Do you have any comments on that brand or pool buying in general?

Hi. There are so many different brands of pools on the market now it is very hard to compare them. Out Back makes a good pool and the Brisbane is one of my favorite models. It follows my basic believe that a pool should not be over designed or get to fancy. I also do not like the overuse of resin. This pool has resin caps that are fine but has resin coated uprights and top rails. I strongly prefer these over all resin parts. It looks like a good strong pool without overdoing it.

I feel you should start with a basic pool like this and then add to it the best filter and cleaning equipment you can buy. The fanciest pool money can buy will not be enjoyed of you can not keep it clean.

This may sound a little strange, but if money played a factor in my buying decisions, I would go with a cheaper liner and spend the extra on cleaning equipment. I find it rather sad the number of expensive liners I replace in the first year or two of a new pool. There are so many different mistakes new pool owners can make that will ruin a liner. Why not start out with a plain blue, inexpensive liner, and use it as a practice. If it has to be replaced in the first year, you have not lost so much. If you are still using the same liner after five years, you have done everything right, and it would be safe to splurge on your next liner.
