We're still in the ground setup phase, taking our time, trying to do it right so we don't have any problems.
Our pool will be 10x16 ft. The box says it holds 3,600 ga. We will be using an intex sand filter SWG system.
Trying to educate myself in between worktimes on the Initial water fill process and start up chemicals/items needed to hopefully start with good water and keep good water.
We plan on adding a hayward skimmer and directional return eye while setting up to help the water flow and filter process.
I have a water test kit and strips ordered to test our water before filling to see where we're starting from.
There seems to be differing opinions on what to actually START with, most advice is geared towards Fixing problems, not what to do Right from fill up.
Anyone have experience with this small kind of system? Anybody do anything besides dump salt in at startup? (Which seems to be all I find on the "setup" vids for these pools on YouTube)
I know it's a small pool, but I still want clear pleasant safe water for my kids to splash around in!
We live near a mine, so there's a chance metals could be an issue, do I need a sequestering agent on startup? A hose filter while filling? (Alot of the hose filters don't have raving reviews )
Anyways appreciate any advice!
