I haven’t spent much time looking startup (and I’ve never owned a pool), but I confirmed today my PB doesn’t provide any chemicals for the initial startup. I’ve reviewed the start procedures from the pebble company, and hopefully I can do this 😬.

I’d appreciate and all feedback or recommendations leading up to pebble, I know I can really mess everything up and damage the pebble if there is a chemical imbalance. I’ve made a list of supplies that I’ve purchased so far.

-TF-Pro test kit
-2 Gallons Liquid Chlorine 10% - bottled February 15, 22
-2 Gallons Muriatic Acid 28-32%
-Brush
-5 Gallon Bucket
-New clean hose and a sock!

Questions
-The startup recommends a sequestering agent, any recommendations?
-Any other chemicals?
-Since I have an IFCS, is there any other equipment I should buy to clean in the interim?
-Any other recommendations to plan accordingly? - I’ve read through most of the TFP links for chemicals.

Lol! No worries! Any other suggestions for equipment for cleaning?

I have two pool poles. One with a leaf rake net on it and the other with a poly pool brush.

Plus a Polaris 380 pool cleaner.
