i heard sand is hard to install the first time. and filer balls were easier I normally last year maintained the pool I shocked it and it was great. new to this.. had to managed the leaves falling cant avoid that as I'm surrounded my pine trees
Oh no! Sand isn't hard to install at all. Just use the right type of #20 POOL sand.
We don't "shock" our pools here on TFP. Most of us use either Liquid Chlorine daily, or a Salt Water Chlorine Generator. Sooo much easier and cheaper than pool store products. That;s a large enough pool that you also need a GOOD test kit.

We had filter balls for the past 2 years. Our water was never clearer, but we put 2.5 bags in our 26” filter. My husband said cleaning them and storing them was easier than the sand. We were disappointed when we went to buy new ones, the store didn’t have them, so we converted back to sand. We bought blue colored filter balls from Family Leisure. Granted, I hate having to even enter their doors, but that purchase worked for us. Good luck with whatever you decide.
