We have a normal swimming pool in the ground and we have to use Chlorine and flock tablets,l'm not sure if you use the same for above ground  ??? but l suppose you must need something to kill off bacteria etc.

This is only part of ours.......................30ft x 15ft,we had only just taken the winter cover off,hence it needed cleaning,and only took the photo a few weeks ago to show my sister my new table and chairs,so not really a good pick of the pool.
Saying  that l love that corner of the pool as it has a Passion flower growing dead ahead behind the statue,and a grape vine in the corner,fig tree and Whisteria down the side walls.
