Do small wading pools need chemical treatment and if so what are the best to use?

Question

450 Gallon wading pool

Answer 1

nooooo its more fun in the summer when it heats up and all that green stuff starts to grow on the bottom and u can slip around on it   maybe u could dump a couple gallons of bleach in it

Answer 2

yes, small wading pools need more treatment than big pools.    chlorine or bleach will do the trick.

Answer 3

i went to walmart about bought a tablet holder, and some chlorine tablets i bought the big 3" ones so i break one and use a piece or 2 of it in the tablet holder for my pool

its not very big we got it at the dollar store, my son is 7 yrs old and when he stands up in it it only goes to his knees

but i got tired of draining it and scrubbing it out a cpl times a week ( the water turned green no matter how much the kids played in it)

i've had it in there for 2 weeks now and i have NOT had to drain and scrub at all and the kids made sure to tell me today that its still sparkling clean
