Can I use this in a very small pool -- 6 feet by 2 feet? I'm tired of emptying and refilling it.

Sure. You should find out how many gallons of water your pool holds first. You probably only need an ounce or two a week. Definitely add it on a weekly basis and have the filter running. It won't effect swimming, so people can be in the pool when you add it.

In my opinion this is slightly undersized but it will work. If the pool ever turns green it will struggle to clear it up. I would go with a larger filter.

I don't think so. Mine is 19 x 48 and it's working so very much better than the pump that came with the pool. The pool company even replaced the one I had twice and all three ended up not working. The company has replaced the pump part of this one and it's working fine. I've got to go back and update my last review to reflect this.

I am not sure. What I did was to look at the size of the pool that I had and bought a pump that was sized a little bit bigger. Sorry, wish I could help you more.

Yes. This is the size of our pool too. We use 6 bags of pool salt and that usually lasts all Summer.

I believe you can. I read, elsewhere that someone did exactly that. It was that reviewer's assurance as to this pump's longevity that caused me to buy it. I've not tasked the pump with emptying a pool, but it's yet to fail me!

The cover is pretty tight on the round pool, and just going by the measurements I would think it would be about 6 foot too small.

Well, the pool I got was pretty big. Considering that I don't think it would be too practical. If you have a smaller pool I would imagine you could fill it up with about 5 bags maybe. My daughter enjoys the pool with the bals now quite a bit and sits in it batting the balls around and throwing them. Actually I'm glad I didn't make an effort to fil up the pool as surely she would have them all out and scattered around the living room within about 10 minutes.

I used on small pool being filled with well water. Did not work. I do not think you need it if you are on city water.

I have a 14 x 36 pool and I used two cans and barely finished the pool, to be on the safe side three cans should do it with yours.

i do not see why not. i used it to fill a inflatable bath tub for my twin boys and also used it to fill a small inflatable ring for them in the pool. it did take me a while to fill them, but it did work.

For portable use I'd use a less dedicated type pump like this. Perhaps a pool evacuation pump or something. This unit is in my dedicated sump for runoff, is cast iron, and is overkill for what you're looking for.

Yes but keep in mind this pool does take a lot of water. It took a few hours or more to fill it and after a couple days in the warm summer the water will turn green without chlorine and bromine. The pump might not be totally necessary if you are planning to empty it each spurt of use but it is good for debris, dirt, etc that gets into the pool. If you get a pump and have the chlorine/bromine, you can keep it going all summer and use it when you wish but you do have to regularly treat it. You will not want to refill it every day or two... takes too long/too much water. We just keep ours up all summer from June-Aug. I chlorinate it every other day to every 3 days and I believe the bromine is once a week but follow pkg directions.

Yeah, you should be able to. You refill it the same way as with the line that came with it. Just use the same size line. Owners manual should explain further.

Probably a little overkill, but will work. I have an 11000 gallon pool and it creates a pretty good current when it's running. To get the exact size you need, you have to calculate how much water a minute it can move, compared to the recommendations for your size pool. I just looked at the Hayward pools website for that info.

We use it for an Intex above ground pool. It is a couple feet too big. The options were to cut it to fit or fold it over. Truthfully, laziness got the best of me and we just fold it to fit. I hope this answers your question.

yes, however use a floating dispenser with one tablet inside. Might be too big for a very small child pool.
