new home owner -- new pool owner -- clear as MUD

[Andyman33]

I can't see my signature (or yours for that matter). As for the CYA -- I'll probably just get it to 25 for now and then let the trichloro that I already purchased bring it up slowly the rest of the way (ok plan?)
As for today -- I'm off and plan to bleach the crap out of this...
one more thing -- my filter right now has pressure at 25. What do I do? Backwash? how much water do I backwash out? Do I need a hose to keep it off my lawn to prevent the bleach from destroying it? A little advice for this would also be greatly helpful!! Thanks so much!

cya now in a sock in the feeder (put in 9 oz) this time -- calls for 33 oz total so will slowly add...
