Intex 8ft x 2.5ft Round Metal Frame Above Ground Swimming Pool, Pink

Update on maintenance: okay so after more time with this pool I’ve found that what works best for me is keeping about 3 or 4 one inch chlorine tablets in the floater (they’ve been dissolving rather quickly during the current heatwave so I’ve been having to replace them about every 4-5 days), but that keeps it at about 5-7 ppm. If my ph and alkalinity is low I will pour in about a 1/4 cup of baking soda and it brings the levels back up to where they need to be, but since I’m running out of baking soda (I had a one pound bag leftover from making bath bombs that I was using) I went ahead and purchased the arm and hammer clear balance tablets, but I have yet to see if they’re too big for my pool so will re-update once I start using that. As far as the intex c330 pump I use…it works wonderfully and I love it, but with the amount of suntan oil, sunscreen, and sun care products I use when laying out – even if I rinse off before getting in the pool, I find that the filter cartridge needs replacing rather quickly. I was initially going to purchase a pack of replacement filter cartridges, but I looked up a way to clean the cartridge instead of replacing it and found a really good filter cleaner spray from Lowe’s for $10 as well as a pack of 4 skimmer socks for $5 (I roll the skimmer socks down a few times then place them over the filter baskets where the filter pulls water from the pool). Once a week I use the spray the clean out the filter cartridge and about twice a week I replace the skimmer socks and rotate two at a time and just throw them in with a load of laundry or use the filter cleaner on them. Will add pics of filter set up next time I clean out my filter cartridge.If you’ve been wanting a little pool to cool off in this summer – this is your sign to get one! I absolutely adore this little pool. I wanted something I could float around and tan in and this is exactly what I was looking for. It’s the perfect size for my yard, and it’s giving major Barbie vibes! I was debating on this or something bigger, but I didn’t want anything that would take up a lot of room in the yard because my dogs need their space to run and play fetch, so this one was the best choice for me. The fact that it’s pink was a big plus for me as well lol.The frame is super sturdy, the lining feels nice and thick, and the setup was super easy and quite quick with two people, but it’s worth mentioning that someone could easily set this up on their own if they needed to. I’ve been using it everyday and have been maintaining the water with a $50 Bestway Flowclear pool accessories set, 1 inch chlorine tablets (I’ve been putting 3 in the chlorine floater with about a cup of baking soda and the levels have been where they need to be), and I also hooked up a small $50 intex C330 Krystal Clear cartridge filter pump that I’ve been running for 2 hours every morning. I didn’t get a cover for it because I don’t mind skimming it every morning while the filter runs. My golden is quite the water baby and has been enjoying the pool as well �� we seriously never leave the backyard now, all we do is grill burgers, play fetch, and play in the pool (and it is lovely).Will update if I run into any issues or have any concerns, but other than that I’m just so excited to have my very own barbecue pool day this 4th of July!
