Benefits of technology

[0011]In one embodiment, the present invention relates to an above-ground container capable of holding a fluid, and comprises a base; at least one side wall in communication with the base; and a cleaning system solely supported by a portion of the side wall. The cleaning system can include a housing defining a hollow cavity, wherein the housing is fully supported by the side wall of the above-ground container, such that no portion of the cleaning system is supported by a ground surface upon which the base is supported. Further, a filter assembly of the cleaning system can be disposed within the hollow cavity of the housing. The filter assembly is adapted to filter debris in the fluid of the above-ground container. Moreover, a skimmer assembly of the cleaning system disposed within the holl
