Hello everyone!
My wife and I decided it was time to take the plunge and have an in ground pool built. Well we are at the end of the build and it has been quite exciting for us. Our pool will be 14ft x 24ft x 3.5 - 6ft and is a gunite / plaster pool. The plaster crew should be here the middle of this week. After the pool is filled the builder will provide 4 weeks of water testing and balancing. After that we can continue to pay them to maintain the pool or do it ourselves. I'd like to do it myself... yes I'm that kind of person! Anyway I was speaking with my brother who has an above ground pool and he highly recommended this forum. I've been reading a few of the posts here and I feel confident I can maintain the pool myself.
My pool equipment is as follows:
Jandy Cartridge Filter
Zodiac Fusion in line chlorinator
Hayward TriStar VS 950 Filter Pump
Hayward MaxFlo XL Waterfall pump
I also will be receiving a robotic cleaner but don't remember the make / model
One question to begin with... Should I purchase the water test kit now or wait until after the builder has completed all of the start up procedures? I was looking into the TF-100 test kit.
Thanks!
