The pool is almost up! Time to shop!
I ordered the test kit (using link to give back to forum).
What else do I need to have on hand for when it is full of water?
When should I start putting in the bleach?
CYA?
THANKS!

What kind of pool is this? Please fill in your pool's information in our pool chart as it will make it easier for someone here to give you good advice.

You'll definitely need to have CYA and bleach--but the rest we won't know about until we have test numbers on your fill water. I would go ahead and start adding bleach as soon as you get it full--you don't want algae to get a head start!! Fill in the info that Watermom requested, and we can help you figure doses...

I'd also add bleach while it's filling if it's going to take more than a day or so.
