Wife and I just bought a house with a pool in Chandler Arizona, I intend to maintain the pool myself and have learned quite a bit from various sources. I figure at least 20% of it is correct! Weather is getting warm here so let the show begin.

Here's what we can do for you. They stage their brochure pics and around here, we call looking like that 'just another Tuesday afternoon' (or whenever you waltzed out there to check).
This is all just regular Joe's and Jane's doing it on the cheap and easy.

Its really kind of you to give them that much credit. I like you already.

The previous homeowner was using chlorine tabs and the CYA was crazy high. I drained and refilled the pool and have added CYA and chlorine since. I plan to manage the pool with liquid chlorine but all I can find around Chandler AZ is 10%. I have read 12.5 is preferred. There are some on-line stores that sell it. Or should I forget it and just use a little bit more of the 10% stuff?
The PoolMath app has a function that lets you work out the relative cost for LIquid Chlorine based on the volume and concentration - might be worth a look...that 10% might be cheaper than the 12% you can get online+shipped...
You'll find 12.5 at pool stores, generally. It's a bit more. The store by me is $9.99 per gallon of 12.5. I go to Wally World and pay $5.64 or so for 10%.
