What up gang! New to the group and about to be 1st time pool owner. I've read this site back and forth. I've been trying to do all the research I can. I'll have the T100 Pro test kit, liquid chlorine, Mule Borax, baking soda and liquid stabilizer on hand. Not super confident in which order to test and treat new water. I plan to filter the water I fill the pool with. It is city water I'll be using. I'd like to simplify chemicals as much as possible. I haven't quite grasped the idea of shocking and how/when it's performed. My pool is stated to hold 13,500 gallons. I will have to keep my cover on when not in use for a week, until I get my fence built due to neighbor kids. Any help and tips is appreciated!
