    Amount of bleach to maintain a 25000 g pool

    I am still debating bleach or swg. I know the swg is easier on daily stuff but the price tag isn't easy... How much bleach would need to be added to a 25000g 18x40 to maintain it, assuming water quality is good? trying to see if I'll be buying and lugging more bleach than I care for. Thanks

    Bubblers

    Looking to put a sun deck on our bid and one potential PB has the pent air bubblers on his vinyl pool and they look sweet. I have two questions. 1 what are the odds water gets behind the liner where the bubbler is mounted? 2. Any cheaper options that don't have lights ? thanks
