So we are brand new to owning a pool. Some details are in our signature (but if I've left off something important, just let me know).
Our build is in the home stretch... decking is scheduled to be poured on 7/14 and plaster hopefully next week. Thus, we are probably a couple of weeks away from filling with water (famous last words!), but I would like to go ahead and plan/visualize how things will go with managing my water right after it is filled.
I assume the builder will teach me "his way" with tablets. Do I just politely nod and then forget most of what he says the moment he leaves?
What would your recommended "order of operations" be for the first day after filling? First week after filling?
Should I go ahead and acquire chemicals (liquid chlorine, etc.)?
I have already read all the articles on this site and have my TF-Pro test kit. I have learned a lot, but also realize that theory will turn into practice very soon!
