I have a Taylor K-1000 test kit purchased and used (for an above ground pool) in 2021. The two chemical bottles say "Best by 11/22." We are renting an Airbnb with a pool next week. Based on a poor experience we had in December at a different rented house, I want to bring my own test kit this...

Hi. I used this site in 2021 for questions about my own small outdoor above-ground pool. Today, I have questions about an indoor pool. We arrived last night at a vacation house in Maine with an indoor heated pool. It is a chlorine pool. The water looks somewhat cloudy; we cannot clearly see...

We have an Easy Set 12' x 30" pool (~1500 gallons). I've kept it tested and chlorinated all summer without incident. When not in use, I keep it tightly covered with an opaque tarp. I generally have to add some chlorine every day when it is open, usually 1-3 oz of 12.5% bleach, though...

I have a 12' x 30" Easy Set pool. I keep it covered almost all the time the kids aren't in it with a black, opaque tarp that is held down snuggly with bungee cords and covers both the top and most of the sides of the pool. My question is: On a hot, sunny day when the water is cold due to...

I think I'm almost there! Easy Set 12' x 30", 1485 gallons. I put the water in two days ago. I added 8.9 oz CYA last night via the sock method and it is mostly dissolved (with lots of sock squeezing). This morning, pH read as 7.6, so I did nothing for that. Next up, chlorine. Pool Math...

I am a first-timer. I just set up a 12' x 30" (~1500 gallon) Easy Set pool. I'm following the instructions in Guide for Seasonal/Temporary Pools - Trouble Free Pool. According to the Pool Math app, I added 8.9oz of CYA (in my case, PoolMate Stabilizer and Conditioner granules, 98% CYA + 2%...

I have a 12' diameter above-ground pool. The only reasonable place to put it on my property is my patio. I've solved all the other issues (at least the ones I'm aware of), but it occurs to me to wonder: will having a pool on the patio all summer (maybe 8 weeks remaining this year) damage it...

I'd like to know some actual dimensions of an EasySet 12'x30" pool when filled up. Does anyone have one they can measure? Specifically: * Diameter at the base. * Diameter from outer edge to outer edge of the inflated ring. * Distance from the outer edge of the top of the inflated ring to the...

It's going to be 90+ degrees starting tomorrow (apparently country-wide!). I'd like to try to set up our 12' diameter (~1,500 gallon) EasySet pool tomorrow (Saturday) for the first time, so my kids can use it. I'll be picking up most of the supplies I need at Walmart in the morning, but my test...

Hi! We sort of accidentally acquired an Intex EasySet pool for free from a town mailing list (it is one season old; the previous owner upgraded to a larger model). I’d like to know as much as possible about what I need to do before I buy stuff and set it up. My goal is for the pool to be...

Our patio, which is the flattest part of our property, slopes about 1.5" over 12'. I've read here that Easy Set pools definitely cannot tolerate even that much slope and the metal frame pools maybe can, maybe can't. What are the recommended ways to make that level enough for a pool in a...

I would like to get a "temporary" above-ground pool for this summer. The space we have for it, without having to do significant installation work, can hold a 10' or 12' diameter pool, but not a 15' pool. However, our yard cannot be fenced. Town regulations (and decency) require an unfenced...
