    Ok, Ben, give. You can't give that little blip without telling the story.

    It's too long a story. Ask me in July . . . if traffic dies down.

    (I can't believe the metrics I'm seeing today. If it goes up in June, we are going to be SO hammered!!)

    I know! I need to be researching online to find steps for my pool since my old ones won't work with the new pool but I can seem to get a break in posts to take care of my own pool issues!

    Maybe you should start a new thread asking your equipment questions.

    Oh, You did. I'm so far behind here right now.

    Drained and filled the pool. Took over 2 days. But WOW. The effectiveness of adding bleach is now remarkable. The fresh water was a little green and I added about about 12 gallons of bleach and a quart of Cu algaecide. All algae that I've been fighting for months to get off the sides of the pool disappeared over night.

    I'll start doing ph, cl and cya tests over the next few days, Thanks kevin

    You don't really need the algecide - chlorine is a very effective algecide. Copper comes with it's own set of troubles. Please don't pollute all that nice new water with that nasty old copper.

    Start testing pH, FC, CC, and TA right away. With a plaster pool, you'll also need to know your CH.
    How are you planning to add stabilizer to you new water? How much do you plan to add?
