How much chlorine, shock treatment, and conditioner do we put in an 18ft. x 48in pool? Also, how often does this need to be done?
I would think a handyman sort might set it up for you and you would have to hire a pool service to service it. Or call a few pool service companies in your area and see what they say. You might want to consider an Intex easy set-up pool. I bought a 15 foot Intex pool at Wal-Mart for virtually nothing. Add water and it rises. Check with your pool supply company for help with the chemicals. The pools are well designed and very sturdy. We had ours for 2 years before we bought a much bigger pool. Our Intex pool rode through hurricane Lily (cat.3) just fine. At the end of the summer, we drained the water and stored the pool for the next year. Once we built our pool, we gave the Intex pool to someone else who is still using it.
The pool will kill everything underneath all by itself.

How many litres of water in a intex easy set 15ft swimming pool with a depth of 36inches?
18,506 U.S. gallons
I called Intex and they suggested draining it, washing it well with mild soap and water and drying it and folding it and putting it away.
That would depend on what type of pool you are installing and how you want it set up. Pool decking is most necessary for above ground pools, this would typically be of wood. For an in ground pool you would most likely use cement.
I know A guy that put one into the ground all the way. It was a powder coat zincalume above ground pool, What he did was. # Dug a hole big enough to set the pool up in. he had a big pool. # he set it up to have the pool sticking 6 inches out of the ground # set up the pool according to the instructions. # His land had a slight slope so the pool stuck out of the ground a little more on one side than the other. # filled it up with water # then back filed around the outside of the pool with a 10/1 sand cement mix. # Et Voila, 20 years later he had to replace the liner. and everything was still ion great condition.
Once you have decided to add a swimming pool to your home, the next thing to decide is whether or not to install an above-ground swimming pool or have an in-ground swimming pool built. There are many things to consider when making this decision, the most important of which are cost and how the pool will affect the equity in your home. If the thought of spending upwards of $20,000 or more to install an in-ground swimming pool on your property is keeping you from having a pool at all, then it may be in your best interest to think about installing an above-ground swimming pool. Above-ground pools are not only considerably cheaper to buy, install and maintain, but they also can be made to look just as appealing as an in-ground pool. With the proper installation and optional decking, you can turn your back yard into a welcoming oasis for optimum entertaining in the summer months. An above-ground swimming pool, even a deluxe model, will only set you back a few thousand dollars, a fraction of what you could ultimately spend on building an in-ground swimming pool, after you take into consideration the excavation and landscaping costs to ready the ground for the construction of the pool, not to mention plumbing and electrical costs, building permits, etc. Most municipalities will allow you to purchase and erect an above-ground swimming pool without obtaining a building permit, and because the pool is set above-ground in most cases, there are no excavation fees associated with the construction. When it comes to home equity, the county tax assessor’s office for the area in which you reside determines whether or not an above-ground swimming pool adds value to the property. While in-ground swimming pools are a sure guarantee that your home equity will rise considerably, in many cases, above-ground pools will not add value to the property, per se. However, that is not to say that if and when you decide to sell your property, you can’t ask a higher price for your home taking into consideration that there is a pool on site, regardless of the fact it is an above-ground pool.
To take care of an easy set Intex pool that is 8 feet by 30 inches, you should run the filter each day. Clean the filter periodically. Check chemical levels each day. Add chlorine and adjust the PH as it is needed. Use a net to scoop out dirt, and leaves. Use a pool vacuum to clean the bottom of the pool when it is needed.
It would be best to take a water sample to a pool store (such as Leslie's). They will run a computerized test which will tell you exactly which chemical to use and the proper order to place them in the pool. Be sure to tell them you have an above ground system.
