    What is the best website to look for in-ground pools?
    I want to look for pools but I don’t know where to. I need some help because I checked out some websites.

    How you tried those inflatable above ground pools? What do you think, pros and cons?
    I’m talking about the 15 or 18 foot in diameter ones like Intex Easy Set, that you place on level ground and it rises as it fills.

    I had a 15 foot that had the hard-walled kind that I felt I got a better value for. It gave me years of great service and always looked great. The way it was constructed just seemed more substantial than the plastic walled. It took a lot of work to prepare the ground (using grass, weed killer, 6 inches of compacted sand) to set my pool on. I then put a rock border around my pool to make it look landscaped. My neighbor even dug down about four feet and set his hard sided above ground pool into the ground a little bit to make it look more like an in-ground pool and it really looks great!! He also, chose the hard walled kind rather than the plastic walled, feeling that it would last longer. Hope this helps…

    I think they are great! They do take a long time to set up though…it’s not as quick and easy as the box says.

    You have to fill the ring with air first. Get a good strong air pump for that. When that is done you have to make sure it is layed evenly, that way when you are filling it with water, it won’t start going lop sided (it happened to us the first time….

    I don’t think the filter worked that great, but that didn’t bother us. We did not go all out and buy cleaners and stuff like that…So once in awhile the bottom would turn green. We did not use it every day.

    If you are going to use it every day, I recommend getting the cleaners, a cover (i don’t think it comes with it-ours didn’t).

    We have a 4 yr old and it was perfect. We used it too. i think it goes up to like 4 feet.
    It’s perfect if you don’t want anything permanent.
    the only thing is that when you take it down, i really don’t think it’s worth saving to put up for the next year. It’s usually dirty under it, and like when you empty the water out, it’s so heavy that it’s hard to get ALL the water out. The hold to let the water drain is like half way up, so you need to like step on the sides to drain the rest. Usually we just cut the bottoms and throw it away, but for $100, it served it’s purpose for the summer.

    I recommend, if you know you are going to use a new one the next summer, buy one at the end of summer when they are on clearance and save it…..That way you don’t have to pay full price.

    Anyway, I know we’ll get one this summer…they serve their purpose if you don’t want a permanent pool.

    Regarding above ground pools, are plastic or hard walls better?
    I am considering purchasing an above ground pool, no smaller than 10 foot but no larger than 15 foot. There are two types available it seems, the easy set plastic walled kind and the intex hard walled kind. Can someone who has purchased these in the past tell me the pros and cons of both?

    Thanks!

    Is there wall/attachable lights for in ground pools?
    Our pool does not have lights and we would like them. I see there are lights you can just install to the side of above ground pools, but that is because it hangs over the side basically. Is there some sort of wall or attachable light for in ground pools?
    Any information would be appreciated! Thank you!

    If you read the back of your chemicals you should see a initial treatment measurement which you use when working with fresh new water such as un your situation and a weekly measurement of chemicals which you use every week after the initial chemical use.

    You can swim in it before adding chlorine or such if you like since it is indeed fresh water without any ill effects the problem with doing this tho is the fact that you will need to dose it after or you will have a pool that will become very dirty in a relatively short period of time.

    Basically think of pools and hot tubs as giant washing machines and you are the clothes. If you dont put chemicals in its like getting your clothes wet without the clean and then leaving the dirty washing machine water to sit in the machine. You can imagine the junk that comes off of every person thats been in the pool.

    So to answer your question yes you can swim without putting in chems even though the chems will dissolve relatively quickly and you can jump in as soon as you cant distinguish them from the water. But eventually that day you will want to dose your pool with your regiment of chemicals especially a stabilizer so your chlorine does not easily burn out of the pool from direct sunlight. So you dont end up with a slimy pool.

    This is especially important if you have guests over as everyone carries bacteria to soem extent and you dont want your next experience with your pool to be a doctors visit to check out that lovely pseudomonas rash you have growing on you.

    Short form Answer
    -Can swim but dose after
    -You need to apply the inital dose of chemical which is bigger then the weekly
    -Once a week you test your water and dose your pool with chemicals
    -Chlorine is really the only chemical you will put in on more then a weekly basis unless your using a puck feeder(erosion feeder)
    -Always balance PH then Chlorine and remember when balancing alkalinity your ph will rise due to the baking soda so a good rule is put in a 1/3 to half as much ph down as you did baking soda.

    Enjoy your pool

    When do you have to start adding chemicals to above ground pools?
    We just set up a new 30 in. x 12 foot pool. Can we swim in it before adding chlorine, etc? When do we start “shocking” the water?
