We have an above ground round pool. The cover has been off and not touched for about three years. My Mother was dying and I had very small children. Since she has passed and the kids are 4 and 7. I need to learn where to begin to clean this pool. Thank you so much! ?
Opening a pool that's not been open for 3 years! No cover!

Welcome to TFP!
Get a leaf rake and start scooping out all the debris.
Order a TF100 test kit with XL option from TFTestkits.net

Brush the pool daily.
