Hi. I drained my pool today to get a fresh start. We live in Las Vegas, and the pool is going into it's 4th season. We just moved into the house a few weeks ago, and this is my first pool. I went by the pool store today to buy a new brush and asked about the startup. She started rambling on about shock, muriatic acid, and something else (maybe a conditioner).
So, the pool is refilling now. The only test kit I have is one from Leslie's that tests pH and chlorine. Since I'll need to get it going tomorrow or Saturday, should I go ahead and buy the big test kit from Leslie's, or just have them test it. Is there any reason to wait until the pool is completely filled to test it?
What kind of chemicals can I expect to need for this startup? I currently have about 340oz of bleach.I know there are many different variables that play into this, I just wanted to get some kind of idea. This forum is great and I look forward to working
