Hi everyone. New pool owner here - it's a kidney-shaped pool of approximately 4m (shortest width) x 8m. My partner had a pool all his life growing up, so he insisted that we open the pool ourselves. We don't even have one of the recommended test kits, although I've ordered the Taylor 2006 (won't arrive for another 2 weeks). I've been reading all I can on TFP non-stop.
I feel clueless without a test kit. The pool was disgusting and full of algae, because the pool wasn't properly covered. We cleaned it and shocked it with liquid chlorine over 2 nights until the water became clear. I do have one of those dipstick ones, but how can people even tell what colour to match to?! Currently the pool is clear; we haven't added anything to the water for 2 days and this is what I see:
Please help me with what my next step should be. Should I wait until chlorine burns off a bit more then add some liquid conditioner to the water?
