I am a brand new pool owner! We bought a house that had a pool which had sat winterized since 2006! We installed a new liner. I had pump refurbished. Bought new vacuum hoses and manual vacuum. Will have to wait till next year to buy a dolphin vacuum. Installed a new automatic chlorinator. My pool is 20x 40 before steps and half moons equals out to Ruffley a 20x50or60. This pool has been in great shape with same liner since 1982 until 2006 when they stopped using it. After all the refurbs all seems to be going well. I only have 3 jets and 2 skimmers in the pool but it has been working well with this setup for 20 some odd years. I installed smaller eyeballs to move water better, changed sand in filter. Think I over filled it so removed some. I dropped 2 3" chlorine tabs in each skimmer and turned my chlorinator to about 2.5 for a day. Backed chlorinator off to about 1.5. Water is super clear! No fog. Gonna get water tested tomorrow. And buy a new test strip kit. I missplaced the one I had before they installed the liner. They have been out for 3 days at the pool supply. Will buy a new diving board before next season seeing how I have dropped a lot of money in this thing this year and I have the slide working. The girls like the slide better than the diving board anyway. Any advice, tips or anything else would be greatly appreciated! Does it sound like I am on the right track?
