In ground pools in Tampa area running about 25.00 and up per week.  Size matters in this case.

Try using Intex. That is the actual manufacturer. To make sure check the bottom of the pool. There usually is the manufacturers name printed in white. I found the web site intexcorp.com

Yes the pumps are electric. They  need to run at least 6-8 hours a day. The pump is used to circulate the water, while cleaning it as well. however, the filters become clogged eventually. (I clean mine, or change it about 1 time a week). The filters can be washed out after you remove it from the pump. But be sure to plug the water outlets to the pool before out open the pump (also be sure to unplug the electricity before opening the pump. Its really pretty simple once you get the hang of it.

The chemical mixes are called phosphate eliminators and can be gotten from you pool supply store.  You can't make the mixtures yourself cheaper than you can buy them.\n\nYou can find many web pages on the subject by a simple web search such as\n\nhttp://www.rainbowpoolsinc.com/help/phosphate.htm

Run to a pool supply store and pick up a water PH kit...they aren't expensive and it's got directions.

whatever someone is willing to pay for it.. but truly take it to a billiard shop and ask them. expect them to be low by about 20% as they would need to make profit on it also

Also use a "defloculant" to clump the fine dirt togather so the filter will trap the dirt instead of just letting it pass back into the pool.  You should never have to clean your filter more than a few times a week.  Back washing more than that will really screw up your pool chemistry. \n\nThe defloculator is available from all pool and spa stores and will work wonders.  You will also get ti cleaned up faster if you cut your top water intakes back and have most of the water being sucked though the bottom drain.  I have very similar problems with my in ground pool because it's located around lots of pine and other trees.  once I use the deflocculator, I can also use a fine pool net to get alot of it out too.  Good Luck!

The easiest and best way is to take them to the cleaners and have it professionally done.  The price is usually $5.00 but you know it is done right and that it won't come apart on you.

charge depending on the size of the house and if you are using your own products.  A flat rate of around $50 is normally good.  Check out some of your competition, call maid services around your area and ask how much they would charge. Don't tell them your plan tho. Use that information to help you find a good price. It's hard to tell you what to charge, it depends on where you live and what the economic situation in your area is. Good luck tho!

Go to a local pool store. Bring a sample of your water in and have them check it out and give you the goods to keep it clean and clear
