Maintaining an Intex above ground pool is very similar to maintaining an in ground pool. Monitor the pH and chlorine levels of the water regularly and adjust when needed.
Things You Will Need
-
Determine the size of the pool in gallons. If you do not remember the size of the Intex pool, determine how many gallons it holds by using a tape measure to measure the distance across both the width and the height of the pool. Place the tape measure at the top edge of the pool, and measure down to the ground to determine the depth. Enter the measurements into a calculator, like the one provided in the Resources section, to determine how many gallons of water the pool holds.
-
Fill a 5-gallon bucket 3/4 full of pool water, and insert the chlorine tabs into the bucket.
-
Stir the water inside the bucket with a long-handled spoon until the chlorine tablets dissolve.
-
Pour the chlorinated water into the Intex pool, and turn on the pool pump to circulate the chlorinated water throughout the pool.
