Pool newbie

[mrben]

Hello everyone. I set up my first pool today. It is a round above ground vinyl pool, 10 feet across, and 23 inches deep, 1102 gallons. For this type of pool using the TFP
method, how much bleach and the other grocery items should I add to this type of pool each day? or each week? Thanks!

Ben

Welcome to TFP!

There is an article in Pool School that explains a method for temporary/seasonal pools like yours. I think in the How To section.

Hello Ben! Here is a direct link to the page Jason mentions above: Pool School - Guide for Seasonal/Temporary Pools
To assist you in determining the amount of chemicals to add, use our Poolmath calculator: http://www.troublefreepool.com/calc.html

This should get you going, but if you have any more questions, just ask.

Pool School - Guide for Seasonal/Temporary Pools

Oops, simultaneous post. It's a good read, and not intimidating. I think I'll be pointing people to this guide more often - not every new owner of a small AG pool is receptive to the standard advice of "read five articles in Pool School and buy this expensive/complicated test kit NOW." Don't get me wrong, it's good advice, but the new owner of a small pool may find it overwhelming initially.
