Hi all,
We just set up our first pool, a 22' x 52" Coleman Swim Vista 2 above ground pool. I've never had a pool before so don't really know what I'm doing yet. Not being too handy ourselves we hired a landscaper to level the area in our yard and put down sand. He got it close to level and we tried to level it ourselves after as best we could, but it's still off an inch or two. We're going to just cross our fingers and hope for the best! Wish us luck.
I've read that now that we've filled it and have the filter running, we should throw some shock in the pool? I have a test kits and will try to figure out how to use that later today (before shocking) to see where things stand right now. Will have to read some more as I've started seeing that we might need a stabilizer and will have to check and maintain the pH levels. Man, what did we get ourselves into!?!
