First off, I've been searching this site for a week now, lots of good information and knowledge, I'm looking forward to getting my pool perfect using this forum.
I just put up a Coleman 22x52, i have filled it with city water, says it's about 10,400gallons. I've added a Hayward skimmer, and the factory pump didn't work right out of the box. So it sat for three days, without filtering or circulation. I had already ordered an intex 2800gph sand filter/pump, and i got that installed Friday. They walls were starting to feel slimey, i assume that is algae forming. I bought one of the Clorox tabs and put it in the skimmer for now. And the pool bottom and liner now feel good again, no slime.
I ordered the Taylor 2006c kit, but i will not have that till next Thursday. Is there anything i should be doing in the meantime, since i do not know what my levels are? I am running the pump for 8hours at night.
Thank you for any advice in advance!
