If that's as big of a pool as you want I highly suggest purchasing at minimum Bestway 1000gph or larger sized filter pump. The tiny pump that comes with the pool is only rated at 330gph max and the filters is less than half the size of a type iii a/c filter in the bigger pumps. You can use liquid chlorine or for even less work a floater with a single 3" trichlor chlorine puck. Ideally you get a test kit and get all your other levels in check but you will spend just as much work and time on that pool as you would a 10,000 gallon pool. I have a 10' x 30" easy up bluescape pool for my kids this summer and I use a chlorine floater, 1000gph filter pump, and a garden hose powered vacuum. I have used the muratic acid and borax for my TA and pH levels. Next year I am going to step up to a 18-24' pool because all that work has been overkill for only 1,000 gallons.
