Hello, just purchase round 7X7X1 vinyl kiddie pool.  Got the chemicals and the vacuum as well.  I'd like to get a affordable pump/filter to help keep this pool healthy.  I figure I will be having to drain and refill weekly if I get lucky.  Any recommendations would be very much appreciated.  Thanks so much, Bev in Camarillo, CA

I assume you mean 7' diameter, 1' deep? That's only about 275 gallons -- there's not really any pump made for such a small pool. You probably would be better off just using spa chemicals and doses, and draining and refilling every 3 - 5 days.
Or, you could take the money you were planning to spend on the pump and filter, and buy a $350 Intex 15' pool, that comes with a little pump and filter.

Thanks Ben.  Yes, it's a 7' round pool.  Your advice is well taken.  Makes sense.  Thank you for taking the time with my post.
