New EZ set pool owner In Atlanta

[stevelynch]

Hi! My Name is Steve.

My kids got too old for the little mr. turtle pools, so we bought a 16x16 Summer Escapes EZ-Set pool they had on clearance at Big Lots for $39.

We love it, the kids are having a blast, and now I'm obsessed with keeping it clean and balanced, which is how I ended up here.

This is the equivalent of keeping a goldfish alive. My wife says if I can take care of this one, I can get a bigger pool! lol

Hi, welcome to TFP! Be sure and read through Pool School, especially the section ABCs of Pool Water Chemistry. You may also enjoy reading Useful links for fellow intex pool owners, which contains lots of information about how to care for this type of pool.

One of the best investments you can make in your pool is a high quality test kit such as the TF 50 from TF testkits. Performing your own testing will yield consistent results and allow you to purchase only what you need to take care of your pool so you don't get "pool stored".
