For the past 4 years I have set up a small easy set pool (the kind w/the inflatable ring at the top) for my 2 children and each year the pool I have purchased has gotten bigger. I have always followed the kiddie pool guidelines/calculator on PoolSolutions to figure out the startup bleach and borax amounts as well as the daily amt of dichlor powder and twice a week amt of 60% algaecide to add. And then just tested my CL and PH levels daily per the guidelines given. (http://www.poolsolutions.com/gd/kiddie-pool-care.html)

This year I purchased an 18x48 Pro-Series round frame quick set that holds 6423 gallons. It came with a 1500gph pump. I used the kiddie pool calculator to calculate the startup amt of bleach and borax to add. So I added 19c bleach and 4.4c borax. The calculator says to add 0.5c dichlor daily and 0.6c 60% algaecide twice a week. It took a couple days to fill, but it's done and I added my startup bleach/borax yesterday. I added my 0.5c dichlor early this morning as well as my algaecide. My CL is 3.0 and my pH is 7.6 right now.

After reading the kiddie pool definition, it seems my pool is no longer a kiddie pool. I would like to care for this pool using the BBB method and have be reading about it here on the forums. I have ordered the recommended test kit and it is en route.

My questions are:
Is there anything else I should add now?
Should I continue to add the daily 0.5c of dichlor until my test kit arrives and just continue to test my CL and pH levels daily?

Sorry for the lengthy post. I appreciate the help.
