Thinking of putting in above ground pool

[dgbernard]

Thank you. Just one more question for now. I entered information on the pool chart but I don't know how to see what the recommendations are. Does someone send an e-mail or is there some way to access the information. I can only get to a blank chart.

What recommendations are you looking for? The chart is mainly for volume/pump/filter/chlorination info to help us better help the posters in individual posts, so we don't have to go back and forth asking pertinent questions and wasting everybody's time.

Essentially, you want your pH to be between 7.0-7.8, TA to be 80-120 (TA is not really that important in this pool, so 100 is fine) calcium hardness doesn't matter in vinyl-lined pool, but I wouldn't go over 250 ppm or so because it can cause problems with milky water. CYA needs to be 40-50 ppm to start with, and your chlorine levels are dependent on your CYA levels (see the best guess chlorine chart" linked in my sig for more info and the chart)

Hope this helps, and if it's not the info you're looking for, please let us know!

The only leak I had with my Intex donut was when a hose leaked. The pool itself, especially the walls, are extremely tough. But I would ALWAYS put a seamless plastic tarp down before setting up the pool.
