We got the large floater and use 3 tabs until it is where we want it and then adjust the holes down until it 'maintains'. Wish we found all this out at the beginning of the season! Our pool is a 16' x 48" round metal frame.
You have to place a chlorine floater in the pool and adjust it to accommodate the gallons in your pool. Keep the floater adjusted until the chlorine level is between 3-4ppm. You can do this buy using a dip test strip. You always want to maintain that chlorine level for proper sanitation. Use 1'' Chlorine tablets.
Invest in test strips. We use the Aqua Chem brand because Walmart carries it and our other pool supplies. You can go to Aqua Chem's website to online test your pool and they let you know how much of which chemical your pool needs. We also use a floater, but we have had to superchlorinate with the liquid at times.
The 12" pool holds 5000 litres of water. You will find charts on the back of your chlorine packet/tub that will advise you on how much to add. On my clorine tub it said 20grams for 5000 litres.This was the daily dose. The inital start up dose was 7 x that amount(140grams). Hope this helps.
That depends on the chemical composition of the water you would be best of taking a water sample to your pool shop where they will give it a free test and advise you in the best coarse of action.
Since the pool is so small, you may want to simply use a chlorine tablet floater for 3 feet deep or more. Do not use a granular powder that contains calcium hypochlorite. It doesn't dissolve well and will make your water cloudy. Tri-chloro compounds will lower your pH considerably. Use lithium or sodium hypochlorite and simply use the floater which is what I did when I had a 15 ft. pool. You can also use Clorox judiciously to keep the water clear which is what I did with my child's pool. Hope this helps.
You should maintain about 1-3 ppm chlorine during the summer, slightly higher in summer if you are in area that has 100+ temps.
Skip the chlorine and get a salt filter you'll save a ton of money in the long run and it will keep your pool crystal clear all summer.

Chlorine level in an 18' above ground pool should be between 2 and 4.
I use 2 tabs of chlorine the 2" tabs in a floater it works well.
You should use about 15oz. if bleach to reach between 1.5-3.5ppm chlorine.Hope this helpRobert
12x12 pool above ground how much does it weigh
Not so much the pool or the water but it will plug the filter in no time at all thus reducing the quality of the water and the chlorine levels.
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?
Chlorine has seven (7) valence electrons and seventeen (17) electrons total in its ground state (not an ion or isotope).
There is no significant amount of chlorine in the composition of air. If chlorine is released into the air, because it is more dense than air, it tends to collect near the ground.
Above ground septic tanks that fit underneath RV trailers are approximately $700.00
It's muriatic. I would add chlorine only at start up & acid only when it's needed. Your supplier can show you how to check the pH & determine when one or the other is needed.
I'm assuming 15 round? Not much, start with 4 ounces of granular per week, monitor levels to see where total and free is at. Make sure to shock weekly, too. A chlorine based shock is your chlorine levels need to be raised, or a non-chlorine oxidizer if your chlorine levels are above 5 ppm.
There are above ground pool salt water systems available. These systems turn salt into chlorine. All you have to do is add a piece of equipment to your pool. Which product you buy depends on your pool. Your pool will look, feel, and smell much better. You will also spend less time maintaining your pool. It will cost you to buy the equipment ($150 and up), but I think you will be very happy with the results.
