Hey Watermom,

Thank you for your help. I just checked my tracking number again and the pump is being delivered today! It should be at the house when i get out of work. I will definately get some chlorine in the pool i like the idea of adding cal-hypo until the calcium comes up to between 200-400 ppm and then going back to bleach. I will also purchase stabilizer. Is there a certain kind of stabilizer to buy or whatever i can get. Baking soda for TA and muriatic acid to lower pH. Ok i think i got it, i will be waiting to add anything until my test kit arrives like you instructed. I am hoping i will get the plumbing done today if i can get started soon enough. I'll keep updating this thread because without it I would be lost. Thank you for your help.
