  • I have had an above ground pool for 6 years now and always use Clorox products and my pool is always crystal clear. Everyone who comes over always comments at how clean and clear it is. When I fill it I shock it right away. I mix the shock with water in a bucket 1st. Then once a week I use algaecide with clarifying. I vacuum almost daily and I keep a cover on it at night. I also add a stabilizer. I pour the graduals in a sock and tie a knot and hang from inside of the pool since it has to slowly dissolve.

    Last year I had an 1000 gallon pool and took care of it with Chlorox products. The water remained clear and clean all summer. The small pool care kit worked out great! I haven’t seen those kits in the stores this year!

    😎Never shock your pool during the day always treat and shock your pool at night it will work way better than during the day specially sunny days it does not clean it like it should
  • Lowes has a great inventory of CLOROX pool products. I've used the Clorox 3" Chlorine tabs, they work amazing!

    I use the disk. They last longer and treats up to 5,000 gallons. I have a 15x48 Intex with a 2100 gph sand filter. I get one every two weeks
  • So what about having the proper ph balance and alkaline balance? I'm new to having an above ground pool. Do these products by Clorox deal with that?
  • The directions on the pool I have says to put one inch chlorine tablets in the skimmer, wont the filter cartridge filter out the chlorine?
