Ugh wish I would’ve watched your video months ago!! Thank you so much! You explain it so simply makes it so easy to understand. All other videos use too much scientific jargon!!! Thank you!!! Also, any tips on ladders? Mine came with a metal one and is totally rusted. My Clorox results constantly tell me to add stain and scale and I’m sick of it.
I know this video is older but I must say…..thank sweet Jesus I found you! Finally a video I can completely understand! Just got a pool this year, and didn’t realize all the chemicals to put in, how, when and why, I’ve been looking up stuff and watching 100s of videos trying to figure it out, just short of confused and crying, I found you…lol…my question is….when you first put water in, and check with stick….do you add the balance baking soda pucks then or weight til ph goes down to low the add?
well when i first started i just added the clorine tablets and of course in a separate floater the arm and hammer and then with time the other things like ph etc. found it’s self and don’t forget to shock it too to make sure your chlorine levels are good and i also have a video on the alguecide to add once the chlorine levels are good you can add that to make sure it won’t turn green! Don’t forget to watch my videos for more info. just trying to make it easy as much as possible and good luck on the new pool!
Hi thanks for this video 1. The shock you put in the bucket do you put water And what do you do with the residue below - I did my first shock and it’s just laying down there and it’s been 24 hrs I used Clorox brand Thank you
I will put a little bit of more water stair it with the spooon and just poor all around the pool it’s better to do it this way to just poor the whole bag in the pool and make sure your filter is running at least 6 hours
Just bought a house with an above ground pool. Watching a bunch of videos. Does running the pump everyday for that long cause your utilities to go up by a lot?
Just bought a house that has a pool. I have only taken care of smaller pools, but know people with this size who say it is constant chore. Taking possession of the house in winter haven't even seen it uncovered yet as was already covered in snow and ice when I toured the house... hoping it really is this easy. Not lazy, but kinda anxious about it. About how much per month is the cost? Do you have winter time shutdown, and/or spring time startup procedure?
well at first it might seem so much to do but it’s not really as you can check my other videos out too about the pool and we’ll all depends on the size and i waste for my size pool 24ft about $400 every summer I do close it up for winter depends where you stay at I also have a video on that and for spring when i open it back up i will be doing a video on that so don’t forget to subscribe for new content!
@@thereviewgirl1019 $400 isn't that bad as long as you enjoy it and other people visit. I'd probably spend that much on whatever else I'd be doing with that time. Michigan pool season isn't very long tho. Thanks for responding and I will watch the other videos for sure.
use the test strips if everything show up good i add my shock and clorine tablet then after an hour i’ll add my arm and hammer in separate floaters form the clorine tablet i have others videos if intrested so you can watch
@@LisaK2255 i do both for the pump at night and swimming if you can and yes you can take the floaters out just make sure you put them back in what size is your pool ?
@@thereviewgirl1019 thank you another question sorry for all the questions lol can I shock before vacuuming the bottom is not very dirty thanks in advance we just got our pool up and are trying to figure it all out lol
@@thereviewgirl1019what if I add my chlorine tablets using a chlorinator? Can I add my arm & hammer tablets to the floater? And still at the same time? Also, do you add your chlorine tablets when you shock your pool? I've seen some say to do so but I don't know if I heard you say that as well.
@@olskooltomyheart yea add the arm and hammer every time you replace the clorine tablet just not together on the same floater and as soon as i open my pool back up i add my clorine tablet from there on your suppose to have one in the pool at all times don’t forget to watch my others videos for more info thanks
you would have to lower your ph in order to start using the arm and hammer there’s a bag they sell at walmart to lower the ph! and we’ll for the cloudy water you can use water clearifier once all your other things are in order that’s why i use the strips

Nice video- thank You
I just purchased the Clear Balance & it dissolved in 20 minutes??? Does this happen to you too?
yes it does
@@thereviewgirl1019 So you put one in a Floatie once a week?
@@MC-jb9uf when i replace my clorine tablet that’s when i put one in well for my pool i put 2-3 depends on the size of your pool
How do you clean the blown up ring? Ours has some kind of black stuff on it.
i never had that problem i buy new ones every year and i go buy some when there on sale too!
Just bought a house with an above ground pool. Watching a bunch of videos. Does running the pump everyday for that long cause your utilities to go up by a lot?
@@xxwoman no not really i also thought that but it’s not bad at all
@@thereviewgirl1019 Thank you. 🙏🏼
@@xxwoman no problem glad to be able to help in some way

@@PatrickG4531 oh ok yea for sure watch my other videos so you will know what your looking at if you decide to clean it!
Good to know thanks
Is it ok do add all the products at once? Or should they be done in a particular order?
use the test strips if everything show up good i add my shock and clorine tablet then after an hour i’ll add my arm and hammer in separate floaters form the clorine tablet i have others videos if intrested so you can watch
Do you run your pump at night or during swimming time?
Also do you swim with the floaters or take them out for swimming
@@LisaK2255 i do both for the pump at night and swimming if you can and yes you can take the floaters out just make sure you put them back in what size is your pool ?
I love that this video gets to the point and easy to understand and no mansplaining 😂
You’re the best I can’t wait to clean my pool this week
I’m glad you could understand it and don’t forget to watch my other videos for a better understanding of the whole thing!
Feminist?
Should you shock before adding the clorine and balance treatment? Thanks
yes i shock before adding everything
@@thereviewgirl1019 thank you!!
@@thereviewgirl1019 thank you another question sorry for all the questions lol can I shock before vacuuming the bottom is not very dirty thanks in advance we just got our pool up and are trying to figure it all out lol
@@lifeoffline2248 well i would vaccume first since you will be loosing water then shock but that all up to you guys
@@thereviewgirl1019 thank you 😊
does this apply to in ground pool also?
yes!
Thaaaaaaank you!!!!
no problem
How often do you backwash your sand filter?
th-cam.com/video/A9uBD-gN6qM/w-d-xo.html you can check my video out! Thanks
Thank you😊
So after all chlorine dissolve in floater then add other floater with arm an hammer not both floaters at the same time chlorine 1st clear balance 2nd
you can add both at the same time each tablet on each floater just don’t mix them in the same floater!
@@thereviewgirl1019what if I add my chlorine tablets using a chlorinator? Can I add my arm & hammer tablets to the floater? And still at the same time? Also, do you add your chlorine tablets when you shock your pool? I've seen some say to do so but I don't know if I heard you say that as well.

@@thereviewgirl1019 awesome!! Thank you so much!! I'll check out your other vids now!!
I have a question what about if your ph level is high and my water is cloudy and I am using the same stuff what you have what can I do
you would have to lower your ph in order to start using the arm and hammer there’s a bag they sell at walmart to lower the ph!
and we’ll for the cloudy water you can use water clearifier once all your other things are in order that’s why i use the strips
I will start shocking one a week. Thanks 👍
yes don’t miss it’s important! Don’t forget to check my other videos out for more info!
@Thereviewgirl101 I did.i just checked the one where you backwash and shock and algeside. I wish you had more vids 😀
@@flex_007 what would you be interested in? i’m about to upload the steps i take when i open it back up for summer
@@thereviewgirl1019 that one. I just opened mines up yesterday dumped e bags of shock and let the sand pump run .it was black yesterday now today is green
I know it's gonna take a couple of days till it's clear
👌🏻
that's way too much shock
that’s the way I maintain my pool i did say so!!
@@thereviewgirl1019 The correct way is every 2 weeks, your wasting it and it is harmful at that level
$22 at Walmart just for 16 of them tablets😂
I get them for $15 at walmart depends where you stay at! use what works best for you!
Use liquid. 24 dollars for 2 gallons, takes about 6 oz per 5000 gallons vs tablets that over stabilize your pool
Water
You're bossy
She sounds Latina 🤣
Most of us talk like that 🤷🏻♀
