    intex ultra frame t-joints slipping out of top rail

    My neighbor (who is very familiar with ratchet straps) helped me secure the pole with 2 ratchet straps and pulled button back into place. All the other t joint buttons are in place.

    Noobie (soon to be pool owner) Question

    Hi everyone and Thanks in advanced for your help. I'm putting up my new 18'x52" intex Ultra frame pool up next week and I've figured it will have about 8,600 gallons of water. My question is how much liquid chlorine do I add to start off? Do I add x amount then test before it's safe to swim...
