Tiger,
A little more info on the signature. Click on your name above right and then open "signature" then add pool type, size, equipment make/model etc and PRESS SAVE. After you do this the information will be added at the bottom of every post. Many questions members ask require this information to get an answer. So our experts can get a response to you without having to go through a few extra cycles of questions to you. Also, as previously mentioned get your test kit ordered asap. You don't want to have to wait on this after a problem arises. And if you start up on TFP methodology and stay on it, you won't ever have a problem. I found the TF 100 with the XL option great for a new pool owner as you'll be doing a lot of testing to "get to know your pool". It has plenty of reagent for two years in most cases. If you keep them in proper storage conditions they lasted that long for me even though they are only guaranteed for one year. tfptestkits also offers refill reagent a couple times per year at sale prices. You can get some of the Taylor reagent replacements at Amazon and some in huge bottles that appear to be great price. The huge bottles last so long you'll end up throwing most of it away. So I'd avoid this unless you're starting up a pool service.
I hope this helps.
