We recently purchased an Intex 16x48" pool for my son's birthday. In the beginning, it was perfect! How nice to have our own inexpensive pool just outside our door! My husband put it together (in about an hour) and then we started filling it up. It took about 10 hours to completely fill up partially because we had to turn the water off when we left but finally filled up. We put in chlorine and I have to be honest and say I hated putting the chlorine in!! It was nasty and bleh and most of all, expensive! So we also got an Intex Saltwater System. It's a lot cheaper and healthier and we were so excited!
Until...the wind blew all kinds of crap in our beautiful pool! Now it's all murky and nasty and I can't get it to get clean!! We've vacuumed it with the pool vacuum, kept the filter on for hours on end and still looks like crap. Even have been running the chlorinator (salt water system) everyday for five hours at a time. I really think it's our filter system that's not working properly and what I've been hearing is that the filters aren't working as well as they should so we'll see. All I know is I'm frustrated as all get out that we were supposed to have a low maintenance pool and it's beginning to be a hassle.
I guess I'll continue looking on the Internet for some cheap ways of getting all the nasty dirt particles out of there without having to drain the pool (NOT an option!!).
On a lighter note...I'm making my lovely pizza dough! My bread maker is making a helluva noise but soon, it's gonna be the lovely smell of dough mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
