I need to know:

1.What type of testing should I do?

Be able to test for FC (up to at least 20ppm), CC, pH, Alk, and CYA.



2.What are the first steps?

Cl up to 18-20 the first evening, then up to 12 - 14ppm each evening 'til it holds overnite.

3.What size truck do I need to buy my bleach!!!
A flatbed will do nicely!

TC, I wouldn't start without a test kit....you're just guessing without it...so are we.

I'm comfortable with that first dose of Cl up around 18 or 20....you'll never get that high the first evening because it will be consumed almost immediately by the baquacil.

Post your test numbers and lots of folks here will help get you started.
