Congrats! You are smart and came to the right place! Now you should read every word of this site's Pool School twice. ASAP Lol Get yourself the TF-PRO test kit I love mine, test chlorine & pH EVERYDAY till you get to know your pool and then you will rule your pool and enjoy it more than fight it. Algae grows FAST! Don't let it slip away from you. An ounce of prevention is worth a gallon of cure! Best Wishes!
