I successfully put up my Intex 14x42 AGP this past Saturday. We have ran the pump for about 6 hours Saturday night but it hasn't been ran since. (it has been raining the past few days). We also have not put any chemicals in it yet, I purchased some Clorox test strips until I find a better test kit to buy. I have a few questions.
1. How much Chlorine should I put in the pool to begin with? Using pool math I have read that I need about 25 oz of Chlorine, do you think that is enough? I have read that I need to Shock/Slam the pool, is that necessary with this small of a pool (its about 3400 gallons).
2. I know I also have to put stabilizer in. I have read that the best way is to use the tablets and then put them in a sock in the skimmer. However, this pool does not have a skimmer? What should I do, should I just dump directly into the pool?
3. About how many days should I run the pump?
Thanks!
David
