First you test the water with a decent test kit. By either using 12% liquid chlorine and or a combination of liquid and tablet or granular chlorine. You can determine by testing the next day or later that same day how much more you need to add or if you have added enough. Frequent testing will give you the experience and history of what you need to do to maintain sanitation levels. Don't skimp on your choice of sanitizer.
I found the best way is to use the liquid chlorinator that Walmart sells. If you use the powders and the powder shock, the filter does not seem to be strong enough to handle them. They leave a white cloudiness to the pool and you cannot see the bottom. Since I switched to the liquid, my water has been beautiful! Don't forget to still use liquid algecide once a week too.

An Intex swimming pool is a pre-made above ground pool company. These pools come in a variety of sizes and depths as well as with or without pumps.
To maintain a small Intex pool you will need a filter, pool vacuum, pool test kit, net, and chemicals. Keep the filter running to clean the water, test the water daily. Adjust chemicals for chlorine, and PH. Use the net to scoop out leaves and debris as needed, vacuum the pool as needed as well.
20 x 48 = 960 square feet.
It depends on how big the pool is. From :)
This depends on the size of the pool. Generally, when you buy chlorine, it should say on the bag or box how much to use for what size pool.
