Hello Everyone!
I am a second year pool owner. Last year, I wasted a lot of water and money trying to open the pool myself. I had pool stores test my water and I follow their advice by buying their chemical. It was a learning experience by trial and error.
This year, I am glad to stumble upon this site and want to clean my pool the proper way! I recently replaced my pump which I probably fried last summer because water was not going through the pump. Now I have a green swamp in my backyard. I ordered the TF100 kit last Monday and I am still waiting for it to arrive. It is being shipped via priority mail and I hope it arrives tomorrow. I also went to WalMart and purchased 12 jugs of 64fl Great Value Bleach.
While I wait for the test kit to arrive, is there anything I can do besides trying to clean up the debris on the bottom and skimming the top? Should I turn on the pump on and let it run? I have read pool school a few times and I have been reading people’s experiences in this forums. Once I get my test kit, I’ll post my results.
Thanks in advance for your advice and recommendations!
