1st Chem Puurchase help

[danjw99]

As a disabled Vet - I bought a house and it came with a pool, very good therapy.

I had a new pool liner, pump, filter installed.

Question I need to buy chlorine tonight or tomorrow for 1st time in Lansing MI. what do I buy?

My test strip: PH 6.2, Free CH .5, Alk 40ppm, Acid 40

I am reading the pool school, but I have hard time I must make a list or I forget once I leave the house.

Thanks all - lots of smart people here on this site!

Daniel

Hi Daniel! Thank you for your service, Sir!

Your list needs to start with a good test kit because test strips are not a good source of information. You can compare those kits here :lookhere: Test Kit Compairson

Next on the list is to learn this: :lookhere: How to chlorinate your pool.

Welcome!
