Hello Everyone!
I recently (like last night haha) purchased an Intex type pool. I have read tons of forums here and various places all over the web trying to learn all I need to know about the proper care of this pool.
I see the Pool School tab here understandably puts these types of pools in their own category, classifying them as under 3,000 gallons. The one I bought is right around 6,000 gallons, so does that matter when following the guidelines?
From what I have learned, I need to purchase a Taylor K2006 kit. I also plan to use the BBB method.
This might be a dumb question, but as far as opening the pool for the first time: Do I just fill it up, and then test it before adding anything at all? Should I automatically add bleach right off the bat? I have seen so many things about maintaining, but not a lot about opening with the BBB method.
Oh, I don't know if I need to mention this or not, but I also bought a sand filter to use instead of the one the pool came with.
Thanks in advance for any help!
