One fish will last in your pool for 4-6 weeks. My pool is 7500 in su all day long.

One fish for a standard size pool, two fish for a larger pool. I put two fish in mine because I know it's bigger than standard (I put one in the shallow end and one in the deep end). Hope this helps!

We're using the 700. It's a little big for or application but the water is crystal clear and that's with three medium sized fancy goldfish in the tank.

I had a above ground pool and had two of them and they did great so I would say you need at least 4

15000 gallons. It's a great pool. I suggest a salt water system. Easier to maintain

You first need to work out the capacity of your pool in gallons. First you need the cubic capacity of the pool. If you have a round pool, as per dimensions 15' Diameter x 3' Deep, the cubic capacity will be 7.5 x 7.5 x 3.142 x 3 = 530.21 cu ft. As there are 5 US gallons in 1cu. ft. the capacity of this size of pool is 2651 gallons. The next thing is how quickly would you want the pool to be recycled through the filter. A rule of thumb may be 3 hours or so. In this case a pump and filter need only be rated for 20 gpm (Allowing for friction losses). Check on your pump and filter gpm rating. Always make sure the filter is large enough to accommodate the pump capacity.

J - I don't have time to calculate the number of gallons in a pool that size... Mine is a 24 ft diamater round pool with 52-inch walls and holds 10 - 12,000 gallons of water. My Hayward 1 1/2 hp powerflow pump does an excellent job of circulating the water and the filter keeps the water clean. I am very content with the setup. My best advice is to buy more than the minimum you will need. My pool will operate on a 1 hp pump, but the extra 1/2 hp really helps. The pump won't have to work as hard, it will be quieter, you will have power when you need it (for vacuuming, etc.), and you will be happier.

I didnt buy any extra balls other then the like 20 i had from my other ball pit. it just depends on how many balls you want for the pool, id think 2-300 would be good. but idk

Approx. 300 gallons. We fill close to full for our 3 year old grandson but he wears lifevesr. I add one small Dixie cup chlorine about every 3-4 days and keep basin or bucket of water next to pool to dip feet in before getting in (Helps keep grass out) and to keep from changing water too often. Hope this helps!

Sounds like you used too much safe start, only a 1/2 teaspoon per 2 gallons.. Dont rush it. For me, with a pump running, at least 7 days. Buy only 1 fish to test, watch the fish for a day. Add fish 1 or 2 at a time and see that they are healty..good luck

You would need to do some research as I am not sure. My pool is only 10,000 gallons. There is probably some formula for how big of a DE filter is needed for a 30,000 gallon pool.

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.

That depends on what you plan on using it for. If keeping shrimp or fry just an air pump and some tubing. If using in a larger tank with multiple fish you will need an additional filter ( HOB or Canister )

Basin holdsabout 5 gallons of water so small fish should be ok. You'll need filtration and a way to keep the fish from getting trapped by recirculation pump.

It will be sufficient if you have 5 or less fish, and there is not a lot of direct sunlight on the pond. My pond was full sun all afternoon and 5 fish, I needed to clean my filter more often then one a friend had in a shaded pond of 1000 gallons in the shade same number of fish.

I think along the way somewhere I read it was one and a half gallons. But taking into account the filter and feed tube I doubt that its much more than a gallon capacity. I know with mine set at high would run around 8 -10 on a full tank. The only way to know for sure would be to measure the water you put in it. But since mine died on me I cant do that for you. Hope this is some help.
