New AG pool owner. NEED HELP!

JAKEHARNISH · Jun 29, 2016

I own a new pool. It is AG Intex soft sided 13,500 gal 24' round.
I am brand new and need help.
Do I go for Baquacil or Chlorine?
I have a cloudy pool now and am trying to get rid of it. I have Flocced it. How to I vacuum this cloud up with a garden hose vacuum? Please help!! I have 3 young boys waiting to jump in.

Welcome to TFP!

Chlorine 100%! Take a look at some of the threads in the Baqua conversion forum and you'll never consider it again. :shock:

Do some reading in Pool School to get an understanding of water chemistry.

Agreed! Next step is to get a home testkit. Don't trust the pool $tore! Pool School - Test Kits Compared

Did you get a vacuum?

JAKEHARNISH · Jul 3, 2016

Yes. It is the cheap garden hose style that came with it. Doesn't really do much. The little mesh bag fills up very quickly.
