    Adding Water

    Lowered water 6" below skimmer at closing. Taking cover off today. If water is green, do I go ahead and start filling before I start slamming?

    Slamming Pool

    I have a green pool. I want to start the slamming process, but don't have the proper test kit yet. I have a city inspector breathing down my neck. I will be ordering the test this week. Is there any way I can just start dumping bleach into this pool to get a head start on the process? I...
