Does Intex pool 8*30 worth it?

[thefloatqueen]

As far as test kits go, I’ll look for some more inexpensive ones that also have really good reviews. The TF-100 was the best money I ever spent and has helped me tremendously with keeping my pool clean.

Oh and if he wants to upgrade his filter pump, I also recommend Facebook marketplace. There are so many used ones that are priced very low this time of year!

I have a ladder he could have as well. I think the shipping might be prohibitive. Working on calculating that. It's just a ladder... which I could put on my curb and get rid of within a day.

We are talking about South Korea.

 

[thefloatqueen]

@Minseok i deeply apologize for questioning your post. I did not realize you were located in South Korea. I’d love to help in any way I can.

Yeah I just realized that. When he is quoting these prices, I assume he means USD? That just crossed my mind.

 

[thefloatqueen]

I can definitely mail him a fairly priced test kit but the ladder would cost more than the cost of the ladder to ship lol

 

[thefloatqueen]

I can buy and ship this one to him. It has decent reviews and also measures CYA.

Another one for $17 with great reviews. Does not measure CYA, though.

Build a ladder from pvc

 

[frogabog]

That 6 way isn't what he needs. TFP needs K-2006.

Hoping some people will post options in Asia for a good test kit.

I agree but he put a lot of emphasis on cost and even though my kit is worth every penny, it wasn’t cheap. I’m just trying to help.

Sounds like a fun project!

 

[Minseok]

Does the Intex 18*52 pool deep enough to swim (

 

[Minseok]

I think it has to be at least 5 feet to dive;;

It will work on any soft sided pool, with adjustments for the height of the pool. Or possibly a metal frame Intex type.

The varying depth vs top rail (inflatable ring + soft side) is dependent on the pool itself.

 

[Minseok]

Sure, if you want to spill water every time said kid gets in and out. Those pools are soft sided, they spill water when someone pushes on the top ring.
