The number of gallons in your pool will determine how much chlorine you’ll need to add to your pool for the first time. Chlorine levels should fall between 1 and 3 ppm. It's crucial to read the instructions on your chlorine packet to determine the number of tablets to put in the water based on your pool's capacity.

When there’s too much chlorine in your pool, you might experience symptoms like nausea, dizziness, and vomiting. Excessive chlorine can also give you a skin rash and irritate your eyes, throat, and nose. If your pool’s chlorine level is too high, turn off your chlorinator or chlorine feeder (if you have one). You can also remove the cover and let sunlight hit the water, which naturally reduces chlorine levels. 

There are a few differences when it comes to winterizing above- vs. inground pools. Above ground pool winterization usually involves less hassle, time, and expense than the process for winterizing an inground pool. All the lines on an above ground pool are easy to access, making draining easier. Plus, above ground pools are typically smaller, meaning cleaning is quicker, and chemicals cost less.

Draining a pool with a garden hose can take between eight and 14 hours depending on the depth of your pool and whether you use a sump pump. Be sure to stay close to the pool during this time to ensure the structure of your pool remains unharmed and that the water drains properly.
