Hi all!

New soon-to-be above-ground pool owner here from Wisconsin checking in. I've read through pool-school, got my TF-100, stocked up on liquid chlorine, and some muratic acid and CYA, and some soda ash for good measure.

Pool is due to be installed in a couple weeks - and I'm anxious to get started! Electrical is run, my shed is organized, I'm running out of things I can do. :)

I gave my TF-100 a test run last night with my tap/fill water; other than anticipating I'm going to need to add some acid and some CYA (in a sock...), any other tips for a rookie?
Tap Water - FC 2.0 / CC 0.5, PH ~8.2 / TA 290, CH 75

Love the site so far - what a tremendous resource. (To think, the pool store guy had me convinced on the merits of a mineral system ... glad I came here and did my own research.)
 
Welcome... fellow new pool owner in WI here... I'm a little south of you in Beaver Dam.
This is indeed an awesome resource... we would have been SO lost without TFP. Great community, great collective knowledge here.
Thanks! Glad to see other Wisconsinites. :)
