I am new to this community (TFP community), so I have followed my pool supplier's recommendations about opening/closing my pool in the past. Now I want to try to operate my pool the TFP way. BUT, I should have had a test kit on hand to open my pool and get it balanced right away and I didn't - shame on me!.
anyway, I have ordered a kit - the [FONT="]Taylor K-2006C - but it won't be delivered for another week. I have already filled the pool with water and vacuumed it. I bought 4 gallons of 8.25% bleach and have muriatic acid , baking soda and Borax on hand. My question is - should I just cover the pool with my solar cover and let the water warm up until I get the kit - then proceed to add the bleach, etc per testing? Do I run the filter for the week? I have a 24' round pool with a Nature 2 filtration system and live in Wisconsin.[/FONT]
