    Yea, I did see the chart - typically my chlorine is added by solid pucks through a floating chlorinator - I only add bleach or liquid chlorine if it needs a boost.

    Uprights not plumb

    Finished filling it up last night. Installer said it's not a problem (being out of plumb) He's coming back today. The water level does look to be about 1 - 2" higher on the skimmer side, which is also where the uprights are out of plumb. Also, I did notice the wall seam is not completely...
