Do you use chlorine tablets? What kind? A filter/pump? What kind? Do you empty it every time or let it stay up?

We just dumped the pool after maybe at the most two days because the water needed to be changed and it ruins the grass if you keep it in the area too long. Also we did not use a filter or chlorine tablets.

We use chlorine tabs, sold at Wal-mart or Target. Not sure the brand name. We have no pump, but we empty it every 3-4 weeks.

We leave it over the weekend, a filter and pump would be a nice additionit's not designed to be inflated or out in the elements long unless you get a cover, I use my cordless leaf blower to inflate it, but a small shop vac setup to blow would work just as well

We don't use chlorine. We leave it up for 2 days then empty it and wash it down with dish soap, rinse it out, then re-fill it.

Do not add chlorine as there is no filter system, I added about four ounces of bleach after my grand daughter finished swimming and every couple of days there after. I left the pool up all season changed water every 3 weeks or as needed, Just keep an eye on the water if you see algae starting try increasing bleach, also I placed a piece of cardboard next to pool to help keep dirt and grass out. Enjoy I've had mine for 2 summers going on to 3.

We put in a Hayward chlorinator. It goes near the pump and controls how fast the tablets disolve. (our pool was originally salt water, so we needed to add this). If you don't want to add the chlorinator, they can go into the skimmer, but they will disolve more quickly that way and the amount released into the pool won't be controlled. The chlorinator was about $50-$60. so in the long run, probably worth it.

Just buy the chlorine tabs and chlorine holder that floats in the pool. You can adjust the bottom for more or less, and you just let it float around, no worries!

with the chlorine remover liquid just pour it in as you fill the tank. Do not take all the water out of tank .

Yes, I have a chlorinator full of chlorine tablets that puts a steady dose of chorine into the pool, but I didn't ever have to put extra in to shock the pool. This shock was amazing. I've always had trouble with algae but I didn't see ANY this year.

You don't put the chlorine tabs in the filters.....You put them in a chlorine dispenser so you can properly moderate how much chlorine gets released into the water.

I was wondering the same thing. In my area there is a lot of chlorine in the tap water, (you can smell it). Plus, don't you have to let the water settle to the same temperature as your tank? I've got a lot of money invested in my fish and I'm kind of hesitant about risking killing them all by mistake. I called PetSolutions.com to ask and they said it had to be filtered water. What I started doing is setting the refill buckets up on the platform of my 6 ft. aluminum ladder and letting it siphon back into the tank, that way it doesn't disturb anything.

Read the instruction book - there is a clearly marked water level line on the plastic tank. We put ours up against the wall when we're not using it. I think as long as there is sunlight and you are actively using it the water should be fine. The chlorine tablet is essential to discourage mold/mildew. If you are storing it for a longer period of time unused I would empty it and allow all water to evaporate out for a dry interior - otherwise mold and mildew will form in a sealed and dark space that has any moisture.

Check the chemical levels with a kit. I only shock after a heavy rain or when the chlorine level is low. The tablets constantly being in the water is usually enough with an occasional shocking.

I add clorox to the water, put the attachment that spins in the full bowl of water and let it soak for an hour or so. I do this about twice a month or whenever needed. My air cleaner runs 24/7. Awesome if a person has allergies.

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.

None. Save yourself money( a lot ) and find a generic one inch chlorinating tablets . I didn't feel that this system was worth the money. Adding fresh water more frequently is a very cheap way to keep water ph and balance correct.

float these tabs separately from chlorine is what I was told.The soda tablets dissolve quicker than the chlorine ones.Just want to add that they work perfectly. The easiest summer I've hadwith maintenance.

Get a Nature2 and powdered chlorine/or tablet floater This is no big deal, because its inflatable, and not a big permanent kind. I had a DreamSpa for years this size. Best way to keep it clean is not to use it as a bath tub. Rinse off before getting in.

sometimes little pieces of sand/dirt get into the filter pump. take it out of water, take hose off and blow into the pump itself to clear it. mine also stops at times because the kids play in my fountain and get small debris in it......good luck

I didn't use the pump. I had a floatie with a chlorine tab in it and used a net to grab any leaves. I was the only person using it so I really didn't need the pump. So it was really quiet.

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.
