Intex pool question

[piedmontpool]

Can we use only bleach and borax with this intex pool? I read through the sticky for intex pools which said you can use bleach for the first 7 days until your chemicals arrive. Just wondering if we can stay with using bleach for the rest of the summer.

Thanks!

You can continue to use bleach for your chlorine in this pool--you'll just have to add your stabilizer (CYA) seperately. You can get that at any pool store, but WalMart (at least the ones down here) sell it in the spa section. It's often labeled conditioner, or balancer, but if you look at the ingredient label, and it says cyanuric or isocyanuric acid, then that's the right stuff.
