Our new pool arrives today (7/28) & will be installed next Tues (8/2). It is a 21x43 - 54" high Diamond Star AGP. It comes with 2hp/2spd pump & a Waterway2hp/2spd cartridge filter system. Also has auto chlorinator, covers (solar & winter), auto pool cleaner, maint. kit, & steps. I want to start right off with the BBB Method. We have NEVER owned a pool, so we would like to know what to start with & what to do leading up to installation & filling the pool. The site is prepped, but everything else; best test kits, do you test tap water with same kit or send it in, or could I get tap water tests from local Water Dept? How soon to add BB&B, etc. We would like to get this off on the right foot.
Naturally, all the pool places say to NOT use bleach, but 1 question, does the liner get bleached out from using bleach?
