new pool

Good Day! Above found pool 16x28 oval was filled with water last night finally at 9:30 pm. Now it’s raining and rain off and all all day and week. I have a Taylor K2005 test kit. WHAT NOW! Do I test and balance while it’s raining do I try to add anything while it’s raining? I want to move fast...

Hello guys, need some help. I just got my new pool installed. It was filled with water about a week ago. Immediately after filling with water I noticed 3 problems. One was a "bare spot" on one of the steps where you can only see plaster and no pebble. The second is similar bare spots on the...
