    Default New small kiddie pool.

    Hi,

    We just got a 22" inflatable pool and decided to follow the instructions here. I have a few questions.
    It could take a couple of days to warm the pool where we are and by then it's supposedly time to empty and refill. Is there any alternative to help this situation?
    I bought everything on the list except the Dichlor powder. I can find the following at the local Meijer (LINK REMOVED BY MOD so I could mod your post in faster) but it doesn't match the item on the list exactly. I haven't looked at any spa supply businesses. Thanks for your help.

    Yeah, I'd have a question, too. Here's mine:
    "I have a 39" waist (uggh!); how do I get into my 22" pool."

    More seriously, which instructions are you following?

    You can always use stabilizer + plain bleach, instead of dichlor (do NOT mix the two products together!!)

    I'm using this (link to kiddie pool chems on the poolsolutions site removed by moderator to speed up post to forum)
    What stabilizer should I use? I can find the HTH stabilizer that has CYA and Cl- at Meijer but it doesn't match the guide.

    For stabilizer use any that lists as it's SOLE ingredient "Cyanuric Acid 100%", "IsoCyanuric Acid 100%", or "CYA 100%"....all the same thing. If it's not 100% CYA don't buy (don't buy HTH because they don't follow that rule).
