How many tablets come in this 4 lb container? And how many tablets and how often would I use them in an 8X30 Intex above ground pool?

I'm not sure on the count inside the container but there seems to be a lot. I use a mini chlorinator, one used for spas and small pools. I use about 3-6 chlorine tablets, adjust the release dial to just 1 opening and let it float (All dependent on weather, amount of people using, etc). Depending on the pool testers I balance with ash and other stabilizers. I recommend going to a professional pool place that has a computer that will typically tell you what you need. I've found that water out of the garden hose in different cities often has different results as to what a pool would need. Take samples in to the pros and they can assist.

Sorry Kelly. I can't answer either question. I use them for toilet bowl disinfection & I never paid any attention to how many were in the container. If I were to take a wild guess, I would say around a 150 or so ?

I'm not sure how many tablets are in the container, but plenty. I use 3-4 tablets in my pool every other day but I have a 20' x 48" pool.One container lasts me about 3 months. It also depends on the weather, cooler I don't seem to need as much. Just trial and error. Seems to keep the chlorine levels just about right. Hope this helps.

Counted 159 tabs in mine..surprised no packaging inside the bottle to protect tablets during shipping and only had one tab with side chipped off but plenty of tablet dust.

The one that purchased only came with the dispenser. I have an 18k gallon pool and I use 4 of the 3" tablets each week and that seems to do the trick. At the end of a week, I need to add 3 more tablets.

Intex's website has a chart that tells you how many pounds of salt you need for the size of your pool. Mine is 18x48 and I add 3 1/2 bags (I think they're 40 ponds each?)- i buy the bags at WalMart. Morton's pool salt.

You have to experiment with different settings and continually monitor the chlorine level with a basic test kit. There are many factors that will affect the level like the amount of sun, rain and bather level to name a few. I personally, would not add 9 tablets at a time. They all dissolve at the same rate resulting in a high concentration within the unit especially during periods when the filter is not operating. I would start out with half that amount and use a higher flow setting if necessary

It depends on your climate, and water chemistry. I live in a fairly warm area (95-100 most of the summer), and I keep the pool up from May through September. I generally add about a cup of ph increaser each week, about 2oz algaecide each week, and about a gallon of chlorine each month (as needed), in addition to a floating chlorine tablet dispenser to which I add about two 3" tablets every ten days or so. I vacuum the bottom of the pool about every two weeks, and I clean/change the filter at the same time. You might not have to vacuum as often, it depends on how much stuff gets tracked in on little feet. ;) Finally, I run the filter for four hours a day. However, I upgraded to a higher volume pump with larger hoses. If you use the pump and filter setup that comes with the pool, I'd recommend running it six hours every day. I've been using Intex EZ set pools for eight years (I use each one for two years, then give it to a friend who gets at least another year out of it). This oval frame pool is definitely the best one yet, and when it wears out, I'll likely get another one just like it. I spend about 20 minutes a week on maintenance, and the rest is pure enjoyment! I hope this is helpful. :)

A 50 pound bag of zeosand is equal to 100 pounds of regular pool filter sand. I found out that this stuff works great for me. Just be sure to follow the directions, which are simple. Just be sure to completely backwash the zeosand several times before you run the the filter. If you don't you will blow a good amount of zeosand into your pool and it will make a mess. Good luck!!

About 2 bags or around 90 lbs.I filled this filter 3/4 full of pool sand.The pool water is still crystal clear. I use one gallon of vertex per week and a float dispersed full of chlorine tablets.I recommend after you get water clear, put water stabilizer into skimmer.It keeps the water clear all season long.My pool is slightly smaller at 48 inches tall. If you have a 1.5 horsepower pump this filter should work fine.I usually run my pump 8 hours a day.

You put them in the chlorinator, which goes between the pump and the inlet of the pool, you put about 10 tablets in the chlorinator and run the pump about an hour per day to keep your chlorine level around 3

I used a full 40lb bag of sand to fill the filter to the line in the tank, make sure you use the correct sand also bought at a pool supply, same with the salt, I used over 200 lbs for my 24' X 52" pool, the pump will tell you if the salt is strong enough, my sand filter came with a chart showing the amount needed for all of intex's pools..

There are 100 tablets. You receive a box with 5 plastic tubes - each tube contains 20 tablets. 'Hope this helps. These are great for removing the chlorine!

3-4 chlorine tablets. I let them dissolve completely before adding new tabs. You can adjust how many tablets you put in based on your chlorine levels. If it's too high take out a tab or 2... Be careful not to let your chlorine levels get too low allowing algae to grow. The tabs will last roughly a week.

4 Gal. 12x15 works great. I already had a system but wanted something smaller easier to manage. I added a valve and tubing to container for drainage. As well I upgraded my airstone to two and larger ones than what comes with it. I would suggest an extra pump capable of running two to three lines for the airstones and hook up two. More bubbles means more co2 and better roots. Hope it helps.

The vessel holds up to five 3" chlorine tablets. Depending on where you live (sun intensity), you probably won't need more than one table every 2-3 weeks. For a pool that size, maybe consider a basket that attaches to the side of the pool. Then, it will be out of your way.

This bucket is about quart size. Maybe 8 tablets. I months worth on my system

I used one in my 10x30 pool last year and it worked pretty well. I wouldn't recommend using it without one of those chlorine floaters, though. The tablet takes a few days to dissolve and is concentrated enough that you probably don't want the bare tablet touching the liner of your pool or the swimmers.

When I received my order there were four individual containers that had at least 30 in each. Plan on using them quickly because they don't last long.
