I just use regular tap water out of the faucet. I only fill it for a few days when we need it. It doesn't have a pump or anything so it's a drain and fill pool.

First of all, are your chems right? Do you ave the correct chlorine and PH levels; did you use an algecide? This is most important. If so, then dump more clarifier in. I usually dump at least double at opening if not more. If you're still having problems, double check that your filter is clean else take a water sample to the local pool store for more help.

You need to use muriatic acid. Can be purchased at a pool supply store or hardware store.

No just salt. The salt is not placed in the filter it Is spread around the pool. The salt is real fine. You must have a really large pool. Mine is 15'x15'. I used less than 40lbs. And still have about 10 pds. left over. You put it in till you reach the right chemical reading. I love this filter didn't have to add much more all summer long. No eyes burning or dryer skin or hair. The kids think its great. Hope this is helpful.

two things that come to mind, you can buy a clarifier, usually in a 30 oz bottle I think. they are supposed to bind the small dirt particles together so the filter traps them more easily. If that doesn't work I've had to vacuum out to waste and add more clean water to the pool. good luck

Well, I would put some chlorine tablets in the floating device. The chlorine tablets would dissolve in a couple of days. When the pool wasn't in use I would leave the round plastic container in the water. Keeping the water clean and free from slime in such a small pool posed no problem at all.

Its a little over 125psi, that's how much I put in my tank all the time (125psi)

Use just a small Dixie cup full of regular bleach and that definitely helps keep the knats and mosquitos out of the pool. I use it for my dogs pool and the amount will not hurt him if he even drinks it. He has a big round plastic pool.

3-4 chlorine tablets. I let them dissolve completely before adding new tabs. You can adjust how many tablets you put in based on your chlorine levels. If it's too high take out a tab or 2... Be careful not to let your chlorine levels get too low allowing algae to grow. The tabs will last roughly a week.

I'm using a floater in mine with the 1" tablets. It only takes 1 or 2 tablets at a time to keep the chlorine up and I've had to remove the floater a couple of times because it got too high. I will say, it has been a great pool so far.

How many gallons in your pool? Mine is 20000 gal. I used half a bottle of the Kemtek 60. & it got rid of all the algae. Assume yours is beneath the water line. An excellent product.

Hi Ben, we usually put about 4 at a time and it will last up to two weeks, depending on how hot the temperature is outside. I live north of Toronto, Ontario Canada. Our pool is closed for the winter months. We run the pool from May until October. I also put about 10L of liquid chlorine per week. Use larger pucks, and keep it set at about 3 on the dial. Hope this helps, if you need more help, let me know. Cheers

Yes, you do have to add it. I didn't know that at first and so I didn't add it and the pool turned green. Cyanuric acid keeps the chlorine that is generated from evaporating right away, so that it can do its job of sanatizing.

It depends on your climate, and water chemistry. I live in a fairly warm area (95-100 most of the summer), and I keep the pool up from May through September. I generally add about a cup of ph increaser each week, about 2oz algaecide each week, and about a gallon of chlorine each month (as needed), in addition to a floating chlorine tablet dispenser to which I add about two 3" tablets every ten days or so. I vacuum the bottom of the pool about every two weeks, and I clean/change the filter at the same time. You might not have to vacuum as often, it depends on how much stuff gets tracked in on little feet. ;) Finally, I run the filter for four hours a day. However, I upgraded to a higher volume pump with larger hoses. If you use the pump and filter setup that comes with the pool, I'd recommend running it six hours every day. I've been using Intex EZ set pools for eight years (I use each one for two years, then give it to a friend who gets at least another year out of it). This oval frame pool is definitely the best one yet, and when it wears out, I'll likely get another one just like it. I spend about 20 minutes a week on maintenance, and the rest is pure enjoyment! I hope this is helpful. :)

Hi Roberta, You will need to use 2 capfuls per suit per wash. Cleans and removes (or greatly reduces) chlorine from pool swimming. I found this product works well.

We have a large in-ground pool (35,000 gallons). I did a lot of research last year on this topic of alkalinity because it is difficult to maintain the proper balance in our pool. At the opening of the pool for the season we get the pool where it needs to be using stronger methods (shock, boxes of baking soda). Then we use these tablets and chlorine tablets for maintenance. We put them in the skimmer basket. The baking soda tablets dissolve more quickly than the chlorine tablets. I check the skimmer probably every two days and if they are dissolved I put two more in. This method keeps our pool balanced all summer. I don't understand why these aren't more readily available in stores. We have a large in-ground pool (35,000 gallons).

We use the cover at night to reduce pool evaporation during the summer and to help the pool retain its heat. The added warmth does encourage more algae, but all we do is increase the chlorine we add to control it. Lots cheaper than running the heater. How much chlorine, and when? We add a gallon or two when the pool begins to loose its sparkle (haven't "tested the chlorine level" in years). Easy peasy. And we get the same amount of debris in the pool, but it's on the cover not in the water. How could it be otherwise?
