Getting ready to fill our new 12' x 30" metal frame pool. We have an Intex 1500 gph filter cartridge pump.
Took hose water to the pool store and these are results:
Free Chlorine 2
Total Chlorine 2
PH 7.6
Total Alkalinity 150
Calcium Hardness 170 (we have VERY hard water so not sure this is correct)
Cyanuric Acid 10
Phosphates 1500
They told me all we needed was the liquid chlorine and dry acid which I got. But now I have NO idea how much or how often to put in the pool when we fill it or to maintain things. Also we aren't sure how long to run the pump each day.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Read the link below. You need some stabilizer as fresh water has none. Then bleach. Get your own basic test kit.
