It is nice to see that the needs of above ground swimming pool owners are being addressed with this nifty little cleaning aid. The Hayward 500 Aqua bug does not require any major projects to get up and running. This ladybug is actually an above ground pool cleaner that you can just set up then let get to work. It is powered by your existing filter and moves about the bottom of your pool sucking up any dirt that may have settled. It will handle some leaves, but there is also an optional leaf catcher for those who have major leaf issues. If the only above ground pool cleaner in your house is you, you should really take a look at this little item. When you add up the amount of time spent cleaning during the summer, the price of this unit seems even more reasonable.

Its unique pre-programmed pattern cleans the entire pool by vacuuming up all leaves, dirt and debris. Since it works off your pool's pump and filter, there are no expensive booster[Read More]
A deck around your pool can really add to the overall atmosphere of the poolscape. Some decks are so huge and extensive that you can hardly even tell that you are in an above ground pool.
One thing to consider when you’re purchasing an above ground swimming pool is what you’ll do with the area around your new pool. This is sometimes referred to as the poolscape. For some people this will just be whatever happens to surround the pool after it is installed. Other people will have very elaborate plans. Building on above ground swimming pool decks can be a bit of an expensive chore, but the results can be very nice. I suppose a lot of this has to do with whether you prefer to focus on form or simply functionality. Any properly installed swimming pool will cool you off when it is hot. If you intend to do a lot of entertaining, you may have to put in a little bit of thought and money though. I think that most people would like to have a deck installed around their swimming pool if it was part of a package. This does not happen too often though. As I mentioned in a previous post, you can sometimes find some very nice stuff been given away for free if you look in your local classified ads. This even includes above ground swimming pool decks. It’s an individual choice whether or not you’re interested in looking for used decking material, but it can save you a bundle. If you do not even want to consider a used swimming pool deck, you may want to think about checking the costs of a prefabricated pool deck. These can be purchased in a variety of materials and each has its own particular benefits and drawbacks, including cost and what the finished product will look like.
Many people decide that they do not want to have anything at all to do with the actual labor of installing their swimming pool deck. In this case you should probably start looking for a reputable swimming pool contractor or other carpentry expert. Word of mouth is often the best advertising for projects like this. If you know somebody who has already had a swimming pool deck installed, ask them to share what they have learned. Get as many bids as reasonably possible. Do not wait for each person to come and give an estimate before calling the next person. Contractors sometimes get busy and it can be difficult to pin one down to a time for an estimate. You should also call several contractors because there can be a huge difference in the quotes given for completing the work. You should also always check your local codes to be sure that you are following the letter of the law before installing anything that could get you fined for not following local rules.
I found this video that shows the construction of an AMAZING deck (and a few other things). I think it is safe to say this project will not qualify as a discount anything!
