12 x 30 pool - Super Easy questions

Sorry about that - yours is the first report I recall of an Intex pool bleaching -- doesn't mean it hasn't happened before, but I don't recall it. I was hoping that those pools had chlorine resistant dyes on the liners.

Yes, though: get a clean bucket or garbage paile, scoop out a few gallons of pool water, add the dichlor, and then pour it back in.

But, it's ALWAYS better to have the pump running during, and for at least an hour after, chemical additions.

Thanks... Appreciate the tip. I have a small hole in my liner that is def not a result of the dichlor... Intex isn't greatest company on returns. But amazon is- so I'll have a new one early next week and time to start from scratch.

In the mean time, I've patched it.

Somethingn tells me this may be never ending. Haha

A 12 x 30 is pretty much a starter pool. If you like it, and learn to use it, you (and your family) will probably enjoy a bigger one next year. The very small pools are actually harder to do well than the ones with 5,000 gallons or more. But, if you make a mistake with a 1 - 2K gallon pool it's a lot easier (and cheaper) to dump and start over.
