New to all the things!

Hello all you beautiful people!

I've been lurking around the forums here for a few weeks - just moved into a home with a pool, and it's my first! I've got two kiddos, and they're getting *daily* use out of it during their summer break here in Las Vegas, NV. All the great information here has been helping me feel good caring for the pool - I'm almost confident enough to give the pool guy the boot!

Thanks again everyone!

No one will ever care more about your pool than you. So boot him. Get a good test kit ordered and we'll walk you through it from there.

Thanks for the reassurance! I did get a test kit, the TF-Pro. Already started the SLAM process (FC came out at 0 yesterday... *wince*) - thread is here.

Cool. Don't sweat that TA. I check mine about once every 5 years.
