    First of all thanks to everyone who posts on this forum. I've learned a ton and was able to maintain the pool myself and I had never touched a pool before (other than cannonball'ing in someone else's) so I feel good about that. Below are my most recent test results and a couple questions...

    No problem but we are definitely learning together because I'm learning from the rest of the great folks on here! I'm glad I found this site and the support it offers because as soon as I bought our house and knew I would be taking care of a pool for the first time I went in to a few pool...

    Any problem adding all 15 bags today? I had planned to add 5 at a time spaced about 3 hours apart. First 5 dissolved immediately.

    Here are my first test results. The only additions have been about 5 lbs of stabilizer and a couple gallons of liquid chlorine. I added one gallon yesterday morning and then one overnight. I’ve got salt ready to add but haven’t started that process yet. FC 5 CYA 25 CH 100 PH 7.2 TA 80 Salt...

    Those steps are what I have deciphered from reading post after post on here. I was hoping to get confirmation that I was right or wrong! I just got the pool full so I fired up the pump and tested out my reworked plumbing. Couple drips on my multiport connections, which was a little surprising...
