Summer Above Ground Pool

Hello Friends!

Sorry for the delay in posting, I’m not perfect at this still. Today I’m going to share with you how it is going with out new 8 foot index easy set pool! It’s been a challenge for sure, but I am still very excited to have it. My sister got it for my for christmas so that I can have a filtered, chlorinated pool up all summer. It’s not huge, but neither is our yard. I LOVE it though!

Andrew and I are learning a lot as first time pool owners. For one thing— it isn’t easy! Getting it set up took an afternoon, but filling it took up a lot of the next morning. Getting the bottom flat is hard. The thing that’s really gotten to me though is how hard pool chemistry is! I put shock in the water, but apparently I put WAY too much in. We have been trying to bring it down to a useable level ever since. I’m really hoping that this weekend I can go in finally. Andrew has seen my struggles and is taking over the pool chemicals so hopefully this is a one time mistake. The pool has some great floats in it— there is a chlorinator float and a thermometer with rubber ducky tops. I think they are adorable! I also got a rubber ducky pool float for our pups to enjoy, since it’s deeper than the kiddy pools and they won’t be able to touch the bottom.

I can’t wait to be able to get in and enjoy this throughout the rest of summer and into the early fall! Any tips? We’d love to hear them!
