That is a pretty pool too! Did they use the same builder?
I can't find if I shared my "new pool owners" set of links with you. I went back a couple of pages and did not see it so I am going to share them here so you have them.
Print these out:

Make sure to ask any and all questions you might have no matter how small! We have all been where you are at one point.
It REALLY is as easy as you said above.........do test, input info to Pool Math, add or do what it says.
The above links will help you understand the timing, whys and hows of TFP. It is a lot of info but once you start using it all it will make sense.
