joesbaby, it is really hard to tell how much you should use. There are several factors to consider.
1) what type of chemicals are you using? its a pack that walmart had for the soft set quick set up type pools.
2) how much the pool is used daily when the girls get a chance
3) how much sun the pool gets id say about 75%
4) how dirty the pool gets when the kids play in it. decent dirty
It is really a good idea to get a pool testing kit, that way you are not using too much or too little. The test kit can be a simple one for your type of pool. Just has to have a chlorine and pH test. I am guessing for the size of your pool, 1/2 ounce (or less) of chlorine each day it is used. Once a week, maybe 1 oz. But, I can not stress to you how important it is to keep the filter clean!! Clean it daily. Not necessarily replace it, but, clean it!! And be sure to scoop the grass and bugs out daily. And even take your mop and mop the bottom of the pool. Hope that helps.
i try to use the testing kit,,but it dont really have clear instructions and i dont think im doing it right.
its the small one..i think it holds aprox 500 gal, its 8foot by 27 inches deep.
not much happening here, my dh built me a new closet in the trailer so that was good. it helped out alot. and we got moms pumps changed out.
its hot and yucky today.i sure hope it rains soon.
have a good day everyone
