Help! Our new 30ft. above ground pool will be full tonight. What next?

[CarlD]

Right!

The minor differences between our advice isn't going to matter. Both will work just fine. If you go with CYA=30, that's fine. If you go with CYA=40, that's fine too. Jan has a preference for higher CYA levels than I do, but I have a preference for higher chlorine levels....both work just fine, just a difference in our "comfort level".

But I'd swim in Jan's pool without thinking twice and she would in mine (Watermom and Poconos have swum in Jan's pool and in mine)

Thanks Jan and Carl! I will let you know how it goes. The only thing I am planning to buy this morning from them is the stabilizer.I really want to learn how the pump works. I have one more question. Do I just poor the bleach directly into the pool in front of the jet?

You can either pour the bleach slowly in front of the return jet or slowly into the skimmer while the pump is running. (That is what I do -- in the skimmer.) Either way is fine.

If you pour in front of the return ( which is what I do), be careful to pour slowly and avoid any splahes onto your clothes or the side of the pool.
