Ok, so I went to Walmart and bought the only test kit they had... It's a cheap'o 3-way, but it will have to work until the good one gets in. My pool is going to be installed tomorrow so, I filled up a glass with water from the hose I'll be using. Here were the results from that test kit:
CL - 1.5
BR - less than 1.3
Ph - 7.6

Any tips on getting this thing up to speed? I've got the baking soda and I'll get a few gallons of bleach (6%, right?). When I add the bleach and stabilizer, will that 'shock' the pool?
