ParticipantJust so you know …
One gallon of water weights 8.35 lbs.
That pool has a capacity of 5,455 gallons.
That’s 45,000 lbs or 22.5 tons of water.
That’s about the same as 8 Ford Expeditions.Whatever you put it on, make sure it is designed for carrying that much weight, or at least is evenly supportive so it doesn’t sink more on one side than another.
Also, splashing occurs so water from the pool can soften the ground under the pool. Make sure it isn’t too close to a sloped hillside.

ParticipantI grew up in Tucson. We had one of the old style doughboy above-ground pools. We loved it as kids. Didn’t really strike us as being different from a regular pool, except no deep end. Parents had plenty of land and put a fence around it so it was fairly well hidden.
Might want to watch some “America’s Funniest Home Videos” before you buy. Seems that many of them center around above-ground pools.
From what I’m told, the electricity used for the filter pump is a major cost.

ParticipantI have a friend who is installing a Geothermal heat pump in a new house. Made sense given a new construction project on a huge house. Not sure about viability as an “add-on” project.
