Your problems have only just started. Our goldfish and orf are now so huge they go through food at a rate of knots. They eat better than we do!!!!

we have an intex 15ft pool and purchased 1 tub of chlorine tablets which was £15 then a couple of quid for the tablet dispenser (tablets are in a tub of around 10 to 15 so you only use 2 a season. then a tub of algaecide which was £15 also which would last 2 seasons. one keeps the water hygienically clean the other stops it going green! also filters can be used more than once i bought some filter cleaner from my local garden centre as water will not clean it proper and you get more use out of it. i just bought a spare filter as back up while other was being cleaned..

hey thanks for all your help just got to wait for it to fill up now! Have had it filling all day but its still nowhere near being full does anyone remember how long roughly their took to fill - ive got a 12ft pool.

I bought a starter pack with the chemicals in at my local garden centre probably paid over the odds but wanted it so i could get in tonight hopefuuly.

Just need to find some cheap airbeds for it any ideas???
