I don't have any water test results because my pool is not yet built! It's in process...but I already have a Taylor test kit for when the time comes.
I'm trying to be sure I'm prepared for when the pool is built. I've ordered salt and stabilizer; I was able to get an idea of how much of each to buy by reading articles and using Pool Math (though I know to add less salt and test and add more if needed...).
But I've read I need to do liquid chlorine before the salt? I can't find anywhere how much liquid chlorine I may need to start with. I'll be filling with city water from the hose. I just want an idea of how many gallons to buy because it's getting difficult to find...can anyone point me in the right direction?
I also read another post about not putting salt in and starting the SWCG for at least a month after filling the pool...but I'm not sure why or if this is true.
Am I completely missing TFP articles somewhere on how to start a new pool?
