Hi all!!
I'm a complete newb at pool ownership, we have a 10 foot round, 30" tall pool, with PVC pipe frame. It came with some sort of pump, which seemed to work fine for the few months we used it last year. We just set it up this year, and have decided that we want to do some sort of non-toxic options instead of chemicals to put in it (We obviously filled it with tap water, which ours already has immense amounts of chlorine in it.) All of our skin is extremely sensitive so we really want the least harsh options possible. I have read things about Peroxide, Baking soda and Borax? Should I invest in a better filter if we are using less chemicals (I'm assuming so lol) , I have heard decent things about sand filters? We really want to try to be as cost effective as possible, but are willing to spend a little bit of an investment as this will save us gas going to the river every day to cool off.
Thanks for any ideas or tips.
