I'll be looking at filling up our new 18x33 hard sided AGP in the spring and wanted to get a ballpark idea of what amount of supplies I'll need to get everything going and chemistry stabilized. I understand it is probably impossible to give a precise estimate because of so many variables, but I'd like to have most of what I need before I start putting water in the pool. It will probably take 4-5 days to fill (13-14kgal) based on the flow rate from my hose bib (will be using city water) and not wanting to fill overnight.

Which should I buy? TFP's recommended pool chemicals are cheap, easy, and won't unbalance your pool water.

I have read those already. I am trying to determine how much bleach, cya, and muriatic acid I'll need on hand.Just Filled Your Pool with Water? Here's What To Do Next - Further Reading

Are you using PoolMath?
You need enough liquid chlorine for 3-4ppm/day
Enough stabilizer to raise your CYA to 30ppm
How much muriatic acid depends on the pH and TA of your fill water. Start with 1 gallon of 31% MA.
How many days of liquid chlorine you stock is your decision.
