Will a filter be enough for a small pool or do you need to add chemicals?
Filters and chemicals work differently. You'll need both. The filter removes particulate from the water, which makes it clear (which makes you happy). The chemicals act by reducing the amount of microorganisms growing in the water. The chemicals work first and the filter sweeps up after them. For a private pool you can use less of the chemicals than are usually used in public pools.

Pool filters are designed to remove impurities from the water, such as dirt, leaves, and other debris that can make the water cloudy or dirty. While pool filters can help improve the overall quality of the water, they do not remove all chemicals. Chemicals used in the pool, such as chlorine, are necessary to keep the water clean and safe for swimmers. Therefore, it is important to regularly test the chemical levels in the pool and make adjustments as needed to maintain safe and balanced water chemistry.

Is it illegal to add chemicals to a pool while people are in it?
Well, whether it is illegal or not to clean a pool with people in it is unimportant, it is inadvisable considering that most of the chemicals that are added to a pool are hazardous until dissolved in the proper concentrations in the pool. Most of the chemicals used to balance or clean a pool need at least several hours and sometimes up to a day to disperse completely in the pool water. Some of the chemicals are relatively mild like baking soda, but others can be quite deadly to humans such as the chlorine and the acids used to adjust ph. never add shock to a pool when there are people in it. other chemicals should not be added either, even though they may not pose a threat.
