Hi everyone! I'm purchasing my first pool this week - an Intex 18 x 48 6500 gallon AG pool that comes with a 1500 Gallon pump. The link for the pool is http://www.walmart.com/ip/Intex-18-x-48-Ultra-Frame-Pool/39264343
Everyone that I have talked to says that the pump is not good enough for the pool. Some say salt, some say sand, some say chlorinator and there are soooooo many different options at Walmart (which is where I am purchasing from) and no one there can answer ANY of my questions...HELP! What do I need? The more I read, the more confused that I get. My only experience with a pool was a saltwater pool but it was set up and running so my maintenance on it was very little.
Any help, advice, words of wisdom, and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!
