which pool are you talking about? We had an above ground one for several years that we got at walmart it was 12 feet across and 4 feet deep. We enjoyed it very very much, it was very easy to take care of the filter system worked great and yes we put chlorine in it. For what we paid, which if I remember was around 200 dollars for it (dont quote me on that though) it was fantastic and I would buy another one.
We ended up having to take it down when they tore the woods down behind our house because county law said we had to have a fence around it because it was deeper than 3 feet and I wasnt going to that expense for an above ground thing...and with the woods gone it was very visible to a very busy road.

this is kind what it looked like, but without the portholes and it was about 6 years ago
