The only thing I have ever done is install a tablet every few days. If it starts turning green, I shock it with a few gallons of Clorox. Haven’t used a test strip in 4 years. My water is clear as a bell.

Just wanted to say a big Thank You Dale! Just set up my above ground pool and I never had one before. I had no clue but I watched all your videos on set up and sand filter set up and how to properly add chemicals for the first time to a pool and they are extremely easy to understand and follow along and helped me out immensely! So keep doing what you’re doing! 😂thanks again. Take care

Great videos. Could you make more videos about you taking care of your pool “chemicals”. See you testing your water and what your strip is saying and what do you do to resolve it. So many new pool owners l like me that I talk to are all overwhelmed with this. We test our water with strips but what do you do with the reading of the strip? lol. Also I heard there is a proper way to use test strips to get a good reading. Love the pool but it’s a stress for trying to keep the water properly treated.

I bought the smaller oval Coleman and my ladder does the same thing. Not only rusting but a rust gooey like glue drips dry from dripping running down it. I wonder if I got some Rust-Oleum if that would not be good?.... My thinking feels like plunging ladder back in water would the chlorine make the rust proof item eat off into the pool water?

if chlorine levels fall way too low, or you’re starting to get algae issues and need to shock it. Sometimes I’ll add a little after a big pool party and lots of use to get chemicals back in line. Otherwise don’t need to use it

I live in Oklahoma. My husband filled up our new pool, long story short. We’re crazy busy. We never treated it a couple weeks ago when it was filled. So it’s green, bugs, leaves etc. It’s a 1,200 gallon above ground pool. How many chlorine tablets would I use? And other than the 1/12th of that shock bag, is there anything else I should use since we left it sitting so long ? Sorry for all the questions 😅

If it’s green you’ll probably have to use the whole bag of shock and most likely some algaecide

@MircoAlexander365 2 жыл бұрын

depends on the use. I suggest if you will use on friday-Sunday, then test the water on Wed or Thursday. This allows you to treat and give it time to circulate before anyone jumps in.

@rough_operations Жыл бұрын

Tip: tabs are acidic and will affect the pH in some cases (depending). You have a vinyl liner pool thus the pH will tend to drift down contrary to most situations with cement, pebble, etc surfaces. Perhaps liquid chlorine diluted (and it will not harm your liner as dry shock has potential to burn or discolor of all chlorine types - generally speaking. In conclusion, I’d use less tabs also because they are stabilized. I’d say .75-1 gallon liquid (sodium hypochlorite) with moderate use of tabs (keep an eye on cyunaric acid..). There’s much more to be said but again, dry chlorine is more costly and dangerous to store. Sodium hypochlorite is still the most effective and safe sanitizer

@travisvanalst4698 Жыл бұрын

Tip: there’s no such thing as a cement pool. Cement is a binding admixture to make concrete. Cement is a powder. The distinction is important.

We used half a bag of shock before our first swim in our new best way pool, and I believe it might have bleached the liner floor. Have you experienced anything like that with your liner? My husband says it’s the sun shining on it, but IDK. 🤔

@aaronhoehn5703 2 жыл бұрын

Shock can absolutely bleach the liner. I always brush the bottom after spreading shock to get it off the surface and to help it dissolve.

@Stingray751 2 жыл бұрын

I find the best way is to fill a large bucket with warm water, dissolve the shock into the bucket of water, then pour it into the pool close to the inlet. Turn the pump on and it will distribute it around the pool.
