Hello! Thank you so much for all this info. Doing 12 foot round AG install myself so really appreciate the help. I have read a lot of the Pool School & downloaded app but am very overwhelmed about chemicals.
Heading to pool supply store today, I have nothing purchased yet. I think this is what I understand so far:
- buy test strips
- buy granular CYA, liquid chlorine, salt and muriatic acid.
Question #1: how much of each??
Then:
- fill pool with hose & test water
- I know what the levels should be because of the app but...
Question #2: then what? Turn pump on? SWG? Add liquid chlorine? Do the sock thing?
Is there anywhere it is written out painfully slowly? I.e. 1. Fill with water 2. Turn on pump 3. Test 4. Add ______ etc.
I'm sure it has been said a million times and I should be able to amalgamate all the wonderful info here but honestly I'm halfway through the physical install and my brain is full.
If someone could direct me to steps or write out a "Steps for Dummies" I promise to pass it on to all brain-overloaded newbies in the future. ?
