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!
