Overall Rating:
Not Enough Product to Treat 35,000 gals,
Date:June 6, 2013
By Kfalbrec

from Peoria, IL
Pros: Quality Products, but You Need to Buy More for Large Pools
Cons: Phos-Free and Metal Free treat only 25,000 and 20,000 gals respectively
"In the FAQ it states: "This kit will treat up to 35,000 gallons". Neither the Phos-Free or Metal Free bottles included with this kit will treat anywhere near that much water."

Pros: Works great with the start up kit and is simple to use.
"I have been using these products for 2 years now and will not switch again. The price is great and the product works wonderful. We have little to no trouble maintaining our pool since we switched to the in the swim products. I know if I run out of something, I can get it next day. Now that is service."

Great Buy,

from Iowa
Pros: Inexpensive, works, problem free water
Cons: None
"Last year we inherited our pool when we bought our house and were using the expensive chemicals recommended by all our local pool stores...even had them coming to take care of our pool...and had nothing but problem after problem. After the horrible customer service and EXPENSE we decided the local pool stores would not get another penny from us this year and that's when I found In The Swim online. We purchased this kit and started doing our pool on our own and we've had crystal clear problem free water since at minimumal cost especially compared to last year."

Great Investment,

By Wildfire
from Claremore, OK
from Claremore, OK
Pros: All-in-one Kit
Cons: Not quite enough products for 36,000 gallons
"Since my in-ground pool is 36,000 gallons, the kit doesn't quite have enough of each product. After using the kit, complete with great instructions, then vaccuming, adding a few more products purchased locally to complete the start up, the water was crystal clear. Great way to jump start your summer."

"I have an above ground pool that holds about 12,000 gallons of water. I always have a horrible time opening our pool and getting the water clear. This year I bought the Ultimate Pool Start-Up Chemical Kit. I used all the items as instructed and I was so surprised. In just a couple days the water was clean and clear. I have been able to keep the water balanced and clear and not worked myself to death doing so. I will certainly use the fall close down and the spring start up kits.Thank you In The Swim for making me look like a pool care professional. So take my advice and let the experts from In The Swim help you with all you pool needs.They can take the work out of owning a pool.
Enjoy,
Tess"

Pros: everything you need to open your pool delivered right to your door.
"I have used in the swim products for a few years. My pool holds 30,000 gallons of water, I tried other products and nothing works like in the swim. Easy to order, easy to use, ( good directions included), great price and no running from store to store to find exactly what you need. I have recommened the start up kit as well as the closing kit to many of my friends and neighbors whom have pools. We love it, thank you.

OK to use,
Date:August 22, 2007
By Bandito
Pros: All in one kit. Easy to use. Better pricing than others.
Cons: The foam things are a joke. They are in the skimmer within 5 minutes.
"All in one that's a breeze to use. I have a lot of trouble deciding if these really do that much good. For the most part I never have too much trouble with my pool and I wonder if some of these kits are just plain expensive stuff in brightly colored bottles.
I used to be a Leslie's fan but they are way too expensive anymore. I am always cautious about quality however and In The Swim seems to be a good option overall."

You have got to try this,
Date:June 1, 2007
By Joanie
Pros: Easy steps if you already have a pool
Cons: did not come with steps to follow,(at least not in my box),so know when to use each product and in what order
"Use the Deluxe Opening Kit, when you open your pool. I have a mesh cover, so after I get the filter up and running,and clean out some of the junk, I started with the products in this kit. Within 3 days, my pool was crystal clear! Also I noticed the fixtures turning yellow(due to metal in the pool), I used the Metal Free, which is included, and the next morning everything was white again. The price of this kit is incredible, having all the products in there."
