re: Any of y'all have an intex type pool?

All the thoughts that ran through my head looking at that picture. That's redneck arse fuk. I like it! I guessing about October you take it down a dispose of it? That's going to leave one hell of a bare spot in your yard. Above ground pools will be on the agenda of the next HOA meeting.

1 kid: I started off with the inflatable ring type

2 kids: We then moved on to a 12' frame type with the cartridge filter pump

3 kids: After my kids got bigger we moved up to a 22' Ultra Frame and purchased the saltwater system with sand filter

This is my 3rd year on the bigger pool with the saltwater system. I laid down a sand bed in my back yard for the pool. I take the pool down every fall and the kids have a sand pile to play in until the following May.

To answer your question, a floater with chlorine tabs should suffice for a pool your size. Get the 1" tabs with a small floater. Try to monitor your PH. You will probably need PH Plus if you live in LA. The only other thing I recommend is an Algae preventer. A small pool will only need about 2 oz/week.

Don't replace the cartridge filters every week when they get dirty. Just rotate between 2 cartridges. When you take the dirty one out, spray it off with your water hose before it dries. The reason for 2 cartridges is because it's easier to remove and replace than to have to open the pump a second time after cleaning. After several cleanings the cartridges will need to replaced but they will last for a while.

Had one that small when the kids were small and it was a pain in the arse to keep up with because of the oak tree. My in-laws got the bigger 4' deep one the next summer and built this deck around it so the kids could jump into the pool and didn't get hurt climbing up and down a pool ladder.

About 3 summers after that they put a big rectangular metal framed pool butted up against the diagonal portion of the deck. About a month ago I ran the pvc underground to a plastic enclosure against a fence about 45' away and hooked up their new filter, pump, and salt system.

you are going to have a huge circle of dead grass.
