New Member opening pool for the first time in New Jersey! :)

[itsme_bernie]

Hi Everyone

I have a 16x32 in ground chlorine pool that I am trying to open myself for the first time by myself. I have a micro-volt gas heater (big pain) that I have been running myself.

I look forward to helping anyone else I can and hopefully picking your brains! Time to search the archives!

Thanks Everyone!

So far initial shocking, first dose anti-algae, and leaf debris almost gone!

What is/don't need the anti-algae. And, if it contains copper, we def do not recommend it.

Have you read our directions for shocking the pool? See Pool School, big white button, top right of each page

Welcome!

The single best thing you can do for yourself is get a proper test kit if you don't already have one. Read the comparison article in Pool School.

Thanks Richard-

I purchased the TF-100 test kit, with some kind of "XL" version. I will be learning it this weekend! I think tonight, after the kids are in bed, I will be trying it out.

I will be sure to post my results here!
