New liner, new water!

A floater would be better-- f you put them in ths skimmer you're liable to fade the liner right around the faceplate fom the concentrated low pH, which also isn't good for the pump.

Nope. Pool guy sure doesn't have a say in it here!

Quick update - we ran trichlor for a week and also added 4 lbs. of CYA through the skimmer last weekend. The pool calculator said 8 lbs since I tested out at 0 but I decided to err on the side of caution. Am I ever glad I did that! Today the pH is 7.4, CYA of 40 (boy, did those pucks run it up fast!) and chlorine is at 5. The alkalinity is running a little on the high side but I'm not going to worry right now because I figure things are still settling in. The water is clear and amazing and the chlorine level seems to be holding steady. I'm sure the last of the trichlor is through the feeder and since I like the CYA level I'm starting on bleach. I've been testing every second or third day this week to keep myself from feeling the need to get every number right where I want it, right now. I'm glad I did that too! In all, this wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

Happy swimming!!

And if you'll just take a few minutes out of every evening to stay on top of your testing, you shouldn't have any problems out of your pool this summer.
