INTEX POOL Chemistry 101 (Above Ground Pool) | Swim University

Great stuff... very thankful. What chemicals do I need to add on day (1) of opening my new INDEX 15' pool?

I've had a Summer Waves a few years. It's basically trial amd error. Keep chlorine tabs in it and shock every 6 days or so. I use th e powder shock. The pool places will tell you you need this and that...dont listen. These are a little less worrisome. I did add some algaecide once a bun ch of leaves stuck but for the most part some shock and chlorine tabs keep it nice and sparkly....just dont slack and stay on top of it..

Glad I found your channel. Easy simple clear advice. Thanks!

Great info & delivery, thank you!

Thank you for this helpful video! I"m very new to owning a house with above ground pool. Wondering this ... mine has a vinyl liner. When I "shock" the pool I was told to be careful to not let it settle in one area. Previous owner said to dump it in the pump area. But that seems counterintuitive - won't it get sucked out rather than disperse into the pool? Do I just not understand the pump system?

I have an Intex pool which had a salt water filter with no sand filter... Set it up and added to bags of 20kg of salt to the water and ran the pump for 24 hours before running the salt water filter .. when should I add more salt?

Very informative! Thanks for your videos!!

I have a 2200 gallon easy set with an Intex 10 inch sand filter and intex saltwater generator. I for the life of me can't get my cya to register on strips or a liquid test. I have been using granular material. Any thoughts? All other chemicals are balanced. I do have a solar cover and a solid cover on when not in use. Levels are as follow. TH 200 TC 3 FC 1 PH 7.4 TA 180 Cya 0 I do have high iron that has to be filtered with a homemade 5 gallon pail at the beginning of the season if that matters. Thanks in advance

I have an intex above ground 15×48. How much stabilizer should I use after use?

I've got a 12'x48", 10000 gallon pool and I've f'd the chems I think. PH is stuck at between 8-9 and I've tried to use the reducer to no effect and it won't register the chlorine I've put in. Ive just left it alone for a few days and the water is still pretty clear but I'm concerned because I'm responsible for everyones health and I can't get the chlorine up. Any thoughts? Thanks

Yo yo... you look like George Springer of the Houston Asstros. Nice! I'm worried about over doing it with the chemical. Just got an above ground 14x42 Summer Waves Elite and am looking to learn how to maintain a clean a small pool before we go bigger!😱😱😱

I love this information, thanks!!

You said to keep the water circulating when adding chemicals or shock. On my sand filter, do I keep it in filter mode, or just circulating mode?

So if your adult lounge swimming pool what does not have a a pump with it you do not want to put any shock or chlorine tabs

Loving the videos! We had our salt water chlorinator bite the dust yesterday, so I’m converting over to regular chlorine pool, and I know nothing about those 😂 so thanks for the instructions

Great info! Thanks so much. Subbed 🏊‍♀️🏊🏼‍♂️

Hello I have just bought a intex pool. I want to use saltwater system. What do I need ? Thanks

With the intex easy set pools, will we be good to go with the water and treatments for the whole season? I saw somewhere else someone recommending we empty it every 2 weeks! That seems like a big waste of water!!

OMG I wish I had watched this video years ago. It would have saved me a lot of stress. Thanks!
