How many chlorine tablets should I put in my above-ground pool?

• <div><p>You should add one 3-inch chlorine tablet for every 5,000 gallons of water in your pool. If you have a smaller pool, it’s better to use 1-inch chlorine tablets so you don’t accidentally add too much chlorine. Alternatively, you can add two to three ounces of powdered chlorine or half a gallon of liquid chlorine for every 5,000 gallons of water.</p></div>

What type of water can I use to refill my pool?

• <div><p>You can usually use the water from your tap to refill your pool, whether it's city water or well water. If you're going to use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-fill-a-pool-with-well-water.htm">well water to fill your pool</a>, make sure you have an adequate amount of water available and that the water is free of contaminants.
