Hello there, TFP!
I've recently moved to Arizona, and our new home has a pool! I grew up with a saltwater pool, but for my adult life I've lived without any type of pool. Now, it's time to return to the rituals of emptying skimmers, counting reagent droplets, comparing slightly different shades of yellow and remembering in the dead of night that the filter hasn't been cleaned yet.
TFP's Pool School, PoolMath and forums have already been a valuable resource in re-learning the basics of pool care and balancing, and have given me some direction on getting things on the right track before it's warm enough for swim season. The pool on this property has not been maintained for a long while beyond throwing in a few trichlor pucks, and is a little out of wack (160 CYA, 775 CH, 150 TA).
For the most part I plan to continue to lurk about as I regain my pool knowledge and rebalance this sucker, but I wanted to get an account all set up in case I have burning questions, baffling test results, or attempt a foolhardy DIY project.
