Hey, I am a new pool owner. I purchased a used round 24'x4.5' above ground pool. I dissassembled it, moved it and reassembled it myself after searching several sites including this one. I must say I certainly could not have done it without all the folks that have posted here. I ordered and recieved my test kit. The pool has been filled for two weeks now and is at 80*F. I am using a Solar Cover to help bring the temp up. I have done my first water test and here are my findings to date. Please advise me if I need to alter anything or let it run a little long the way it is. I have purchased the necessary supplies of Bleach, Borax, and Baking Soda. I used a inexpensive chemical pH & Cl tester. The pH has remained fairly steady and the Cl has been up and down. Just an extra note, my pool see sun from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm. Also is there any chemical test for pH that is less color subjective and more chemical precise?
