Hi everyone!
I am very new at this, so please excuse my lack of knowledge here
I recently purchased a small AGP which I plan on setting up in my Brooklyn yard as soon as I receive all the bits and bobs. It would be packed up for the winter.
This is my list, please feel free to weigh in / mock / advise / deride!!
Pool is a Bestway Powersteel 14' x 8'2" oval. The pool set includes: chemconnect dispenser, filter, filter pump, pool ladder, pool cover.
I've bought:
-Taylor K-2006 test kit
-Intex 28620EP Handheld Above Ground Swimming Pool Vacuum
-INTEX 26645EG SX2100 Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump
-Flowclear 15' Solar pool cover (I'll have to cut it down to an oval shape)
-Walmart brand bleach, 2 gallons
-Plastic measuring jug (2 cups / 600ml size)
-Blue Wave (Gorilla?) 15' round liner pad which I will cut to fit the 14 x 8 pool.
And I'm about to order:
-Transchem Muriatic acid 31%, 1 gallon
-Pool Mate pool stabilizer and conditioner, 4 lbs.
-Enough 2" x 10" x 10" pressure treated lumber to go under every leg, some longer bits for the 4 U shaped bars.
Do I need a pool cove?
Sand as it's all going on top of the lawn (which is still full of weeds)? How much would you recommend?
Roundup?
Some kind of solar heating mat or dome?
Thanks for any advice
