Welcome to TFP! Congrats on your new pool!
Just a couple of housekeeping items I'd like to mention, if I could;
(1) Pool info in sig - This information really helps the local guru's when trying to diagnose any problem you might have and bring to the forum. If you need help with your sig, we'll be glad to assist.
(2) The Pool School is a great source of information about water chemistry, rules about posting, etc. You can reach it by clicking on the link in the page header, or by clicking
here.
(3)If you haven't purchased a good test kit yet, please do so as soon as you can. It will be the best investment you'll make for your pool, as it will allow you to take control of your water and make maintenance much easier. If you ever have a water chemistry issue, the first thing we'll ask for are your numbers, and we ain't asking about the Powerball! :lol: Test strips are notoriously unreliable, as are pool store tests. The two most recommended are the TF100 test kit sold by a forum member here and also the Taylor K-2006, which can also be bought at various online retailers (and some brick and mortar stores, too!).
Again, welcome, and look forward to typing atcha!
Mike
