Intex pool 10'x30" 1018.0 gal

Second year with it! Last year i could not find anything on how to take care of my pool! This year i found this form hoping it will help me when i finally set the pool up. Last year i had HTH 6-way test strips and i could never get a reading from anything everything stayed like it did before putting test strips in. I was using chlorine tablets in my floater thing and i had some other chemicals i threw in list of stuff i have HTH stabilizer and conditioner balance 1, HTH 1" chlorinating tablets stabilizing 2, HTH super algae guard prevent algae 4, HTH shock n swim shock 3 and i used a vacuum when it started to look or feel dirty on the bottom and used a net. Also changed the filter when it started to look dirty. Just want to make sure i do a better job and do it right this year. Sounds like im going to have to go out and buy more products from reading this site then the ones i got!!

We have a Super Simple Start-up Recipe that we usually suggest for small pools but just be aware that these little tiny pools like you have are even harder to maintain than a bigger pool. Read more info here and pay particular attention to post #4 in the thread: http://pool9.net/ssr/
