I'll post some pre and post photos later after the fill, but for now here's where I am at.
I live in Anaheim CA. Drained the pool Thursday. Demo and retiled on Friday. Acid wash and refill started today, Saturday.
I have a regular old Home Depot test kit with a T100 on the way.
I need to go buy all chemicals this evening after work.
I have about half a large tub of Leslie's 3" chlorinating tabs (sorry I was new at the time to pool ownership and care)
Here's city water data:

I'm curious to know if I need a sequesterant and at what point do I add that?
Is that available at a Home Depot or Ace?
Since I can't measure cya until my test kit arrives, do I still add some up front?
How much? And where is the best place to buy it from?
100% new municipal water
In ground
Approx. 20k gallon pool/spa
Oh... And I have a DE filter which was last cleaned in November. When should I re clean those filters? Pressure was still about 15 before the draining.
Thanks!
