Read...Read...read this board. There is plenty of info to get you started and keep you going. Water testing and keeping balance comes pretty quickly.
My pool was installed last year and my wife thought I was nuts when I told her I was going to use bleach. My rationale had more to do with putting less in the pool than cost. Anyway, crystal clear water the first year and I'll admit I've learned more since than. The wife is content that I know what I'm doing. The PS 234 kit is a must, I'd order as early as possible. Good luck.
