Hi, we are putting our pool up tomorrow and I wanted to ask a few questions since this is my first ever pool and I am a bit nervous. lol
We have an 18x52 round Intex pool with Krystal Clear Sand filter and a SX2100 pump. I am not too sure on how much water this holds...it says to fill up to 46inch. I think it might be around 7K gallons?
I bought the following for the pool: Liquid Chlorine, Borax, Baking Soda, CYA (conditioner enhancer granolas) and a TF-100 test kit.
1. When we fill the pool, do we need to run the filter for a while before testing the water?
2. After testing the water and adding chemicals, do we need to wait 24 hours before testing again?
3. How long do you normally run the pump?
4. The liquid chlorine I bought is from Leslies and the brand is Blue Whale. It says it's shock chlorinator and has the following ingredients : Sodium Hypochlorite 12.5%, Other ingredients 87.5% Is this ok to use as Liquid Chlorine or should I just use bleach? lol
Thank you in advance for any assistance/advice!
