Just moved in to a house with a pool and hoping to take care of the general maintenance on my own, but I'm an absolute beginner. I'm in Sacramento, CA, so it's been pretty chilly for the last couple months. No chems have been added for at least 6 weeks, and the filter was out for 3-4 weeks. The filter is running again and I have the TF Pro with SLAM option test kit on the way. The water is still looking pretty good, so hoping I won't have to SLAM.
Questions right now are, how long should I be running the filter each day (there is also a Polaris vacuum)?
Once the test kit arrives, should I perform all tests or start with one or two parameters first?
Is there a particular order I should be performing these tests and adding chems? For example, should I start with an FC test and get that level in range before moving on to ph, or should I be testing and adjusting everything at once?
Thanks for reading, and for any tips or suggestions!
