Hi everyone!

My name is Erick, I am a first time homeowner and my house came with a pool. I have lived all my life in another country where I had a house with a pool too, but my parents used to take care of the pool and usually with only chlorine, so I am a complete newbie regarding all the chemicals, levels and treatments.
I am so happy to found a community and forum like this. I've went through the Table of Contents and ABC's of pool. I'm about to order a TF-100 kit. I do have a BUNCH of questions that I will be posting in the respective sub-forums, I literally have no clue about what equipment I have in my pool other than a Pump and a Water Heater, also no idea about what is the material of the pool and where are the skimmers, drains, etc.

I love home automation, so at some point I would like to integrate anything possible to my pool.

There are a lot of new terms for me and english is not my native language so please bear with me. I already bookmarked the Table of contents.

Anyways, just wanted to introduce myself and share my excitement of subscribing to this forum! These are some pictures of my pool and equipment (can't attach all of them because they are big): https://imgur.com/a/jTmlAFr

Hey Erick. Welcome. Well, so far you're on the right track! You found TFP, you've got the right test kit on the way, and you've started your Pool School reading. Good job. Reading Pool School here on the site is great, but I found the eBook to be easier for me:

Trouble Free Pool School

Congrat's on the new house and pool. Post your questions, and everybody here will pitch in to get you the answers!
