Great stuff... very thankful. What chemicals do I need to add on day (1) of opening my new INDEX 15' pool?

I've had a Summer Waves a few years. It's basically trial amd error. Keep chlorine tabs in it and shock every 6 days or so. I use th e powder shock. The pool places will tell you you need this and that...dont listen. These are a little less worrisome. I did add some algaecide once a bun ch of leaves stuck but for the most part some shock and chlorine tabs keep it nice and sparkly....just dont slack and stay on top of it..

Our pool is small, holds around 2000 gallons. Do I leave the chlorine float (with 1inch tabs in it) in the pool OVERNIGHT while the cover is on it, or do I take the float out at night and put it back in in the morning when I take the cover off? Thanks in advance!

I'm opening my pool for the second time this summer. I had to drain and clean the pool it would not clear up no matter how much I cleaned it or put chemicals

Does water “hardness” affect your filter performance in an above ground vinyl pool?

[mksadventures]

I have a 16' x 32' x 54" INTEX above ground pool. About 19, 200 gallons. Biggest above ground, vinyl liner pool I have seen. We do not take it down every year. This video is not for all INTEX pool owners. :)

I have an intex above ground 15×48. How much stabilizer should I use after use?

[bloomer]

What do you recommend for a 10x30 pool? I purchased one with a filter and also bought
CLOROX Pool&Spa XtraBlue 3-Inch Long Lasting Chlorinating Tablets are one of these tablets too much for this size pool and do I still need to shock it?

Loving the videos! We had our salt water chlorinator bite the dust yesterday, so I’m converting over to regular chlorine pool, and I know nothing about those 😂 so thanks for the instructions
