Hey guys,
My wife and I are closing on a new house soon, but we have the ability to do what we want to the property at this time. This being said, it has a 16' x 32' oval above ground pool with a constant depth of approximately 4'. It has a sand filter and a Polaris 65 with it. A windstorm came through here in SWMO several weeks ago and blew about half of the cover in, therefore I can't see the bottom at this time. The water does not look terrible, however, but the cover is dark green . At this point, the pool is about half full of water (pictures to follow this evening). I have read over this site the past couple days on the pool school and poolmath pages to try to get an understanding of the chemistry. I think I have a decent idea now. From what I understand, I need to start with liquid bleach and a test kit and that the pool is ready to be SLAMed now. I just ordered a Taylor K-2006 a few minutes ago per recommendation on TFP. I guess my main question is how should I go about filling it up the rest of the way while adding FC? I don't want to begin the process until I have my kit, but I believe it will be overnight shipped tonight. Any advice at all is much appreciated!
