Hey everyone. I just assumed responsibility of the pool at my mother's house (her pool guy is super flaky) I've watched a few videos, read some forums and Q & A, and about to order some cleaning supplies.
I see that shocking a pool and algaecide isn't 'necessary' for every pool. Where I'm confused is the testing part. Are those simple strips online ideal (the 4-way or 7-way)? Some have said test 2X a week, while some said do it every other day.
Is it necessary (and how often) to brush the sides? I've never seen our pool guy do that. The pool looks pretty clear besides the leaves and small debris, which I'll get a skimmer/net for.
Thanks !!
