New pool and new to pools - green but clear

One other reason for adding the chlorine at the skimmer is that high chlorine concentrations often cause the iron to precipitate out of the water and stain. If you add the chlorine at the skimmer, then any stain that happens from chlorine addition will happen on your filter, not in the pool itself.

Jan, you're right. In this pool, it is better to add to the skimmer rather than in front of a return jet. Glad Jan caught that.

Thanks so much. You guys are great. I am learning so much and in a way I can take in and digest and really use instead of just having product shoved at me - belive me, that's not my style in any part of my life.

So Intex has skimmers now...hmmm! But if it's a cartridge filter I still think you should hold off on adding DE. DE is really best for sand filters and, of course, DE filters.

Thanks...they have a pretty basic skimmer system from what little I know about such beasts but a skimmer it is. I'll have to research all the kinds of filters, etc
