Thanks for the wealth of information here. I'm in the process of reading through Pool School but I'm still a little nervous about doing this correctly. The pool belongs to my father-in-law who cannot care for the pool himself. So I've been tasked to do it.
I'll be starting to fill tomorrow evening with plans to fire up the FNS48 Pentair DE filter on Thursday evening once full. The pool is Gunite I think and age is unknown. It's empty because we had to drain it for crack/leak repair. As well as re-glueing some tiles which I'll be doing.
I havnt been able to determine exactly which products, and how much of each to buy for the startup process. I know I'll need the BBB products. But how much of each? And what other chem in addition? I'm in a time crunch here so I'll be picking up a Leslie's FAS-DPD kit, rather than ordering a better kit online.
Any advice y'all can give will be much appreciated.
