Need advice first time pool

[Gofast73]

Yea were not going the Walmart route at all now just gonna get a good pool. Being a disabled Vet it would be hard on me putting it up and breaking it down this way once it's up it's up and then just have to maintain it much easier plus my wife would be much happier this way.

I think that's a good move on your part. When you get the pool, also PLEASE get a good test kit--see my first response above--it will save you more money in one season than any other part of the pool purchase will!!

Well the place where we are buying the chemicals from will test it for free and sells the chemicals needed to get it back on track very cheap. It's a good deal it's kind of a yearly plan we'll be buying. Our niece has a pool and uses this same place and it's much cheaper then buying all the chemicals at a different store.

Yea were going to buy a Taylor kit the k2006c one it cost slightly more but we'd get more supplies for it.

You have to be careful with chemicals from the pool store. They often try and sell you things you don't need and some of those things have stuff in them that cause problems for your water. It would be a good idea for you to do a lot of reading here on the forum, especially the stickies at the tops of the different sections of the forum. Also, do some reading on our sister website www.poolsolutions.com. Lots of good information there as well.
