Default Swimming pools? Just bought one! Treatment advice needed.

No, not a huge fookin thing but one of those inflatable jobs. 10' diameter and holds around 900 gallons!

Want some info about keeping the water fresh as its going to be up for a good few weeks hopefully.

Want to avoid chlorine if poss....makes my skin dry....

Seriuosly tho, its not good for the baby.

Dont think there is much choice tho but to use chlorine in small quanties(nothing like that found in a normal swimming pool) otherwise the water will become cloudy and the clorine acts as a disinfectant

my pool is crystal clear but I dose it every other day

try stack em high on ebay they do a kit for Ł25 plus post with tester strips which allow you to keep an eye on chlorine levels, and PH etc, I have a 4 month old and touch wood have had no problems yet

and remember this phrase to tell your kids and visitors

WELCOME TO MY OOL PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO P IN MY POOL LETS KEEP IT THAT WAY

Si
