Do you have any specific questions?
Welcome to the Pool Forum!
Not at this time. I just wanted to get my fourm member ship rolling so when I do have questions I will be good to go.
Ok. Well, we'll be here if you need us!
How much 8.25% bleach do I add at fill up? And how much stabilizer?
Without knowing anything about your pool, it is impossible to give advice. I assume it may be an Intex or an above ground? If so, using our Super Simple startup guide would probably be the best way to go. You can read about it here: http://pool9.net/ssr/

Its a round 15x42 intex above ground pool. Filled it up and tested my ph and it 7.2.
Did you look at the link I posted above? Are you going to use that startup recipe? That would be the easiest way to start your pool.
Your volume is about 4200 gallons. In this size pool, each cup of 8.25% bleach will add about 1.2ppm of chlorine. Until you can get some dichlor, you'll need to add some bleach a couple of times per day to keep your pool from turning green. More info in the page I linked above.
