So, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by the whole startup process. Soooo much information on here - all very GREAT stuff for which I'm very appreciative! But I'm hoping to break things down into manageable chunks so I don't lose my mind.
First order of business - go buy all the chemicals and things I'm gonna need to have on hand after the pool gets filled up for the first time. (I'm assuming my PB will have the initial chemicals, but after that...)
I do already have my TF-100 Test Kit + Salt Water Testing Kit (though I realize salt won't be added until after 30 days). I also have the Whale Tale Brush that I ordered with the test kit. I have no chemicals. I live in SoCal so have access to tons of stores - HARDWARE: Lowe's, Home Depot, Orchard Supply Hardware; GROCERY: Ralph's, Von's, Albertsons; RETAIL: Walmart, Target; DISCOUNT: 99cent store, Dollar General, Big Lots. DRUGSTORE: Rite Aid, Walgreens, CVS; POOL SUPPLY: Leslie's; WAREHOUSE: Costco.
So, If I can get a list of what I need as well as suggestions on best brand or % to look for and any recommendations on best place to buy, I'd appreciate it!
