Hello everyone!
I am excited to join this group and hoping to learn from you all about how to best maintain the swimming pool. I have an 18,000 gal inground fiberglass saltwater pool with a chlorine tablet bypass system. I have decided to maintain it myself by learning from other pool owners and community members.

Looking forward to learn and share my experience with you all.

Cheers,
--Sanjeev

Welcome to TFP!

I'm not sure what a "chlorine tablet bypass system" is, but if it involves a dissolving tablets into the pool, you probably don't need it. I assume by saltwater pool, your pool has a salt water chlorine generator (SWG). That's good!

One of the cornerstones of the TFP method is testing you own water using a TFP recommended test kit Test Kits Compared. When shopping around, make sure to include the Taylor K-1766 salt test kit.

While wading around here, spend some time in Pool School. Here is a good set of articles to get you started:
