Got the pool running. Now what?

I didn't realize there was a link between activity and pH going up. Good to know. As long as it's not indicative of a problem, I'll stop worrying about it. Like I said, muriatic acid is cheap. My return does ripple the water. I'll have to see about supporting the return hose so it's not hanging down and forcing the return jet to point up. Might be able to top it off and raise the water surface.

I'll stop worrying about the TA, as long as it's not causing trouble.

The only reason I'm considering the dichlor is to add CYA quicker. If you don't see a problem with the trichlor, I'll keep using it up.

Thanks! The kids (and my wife) are really happy that it all worked out. I think they were in the pool (along with some other neighborhood kids) for about 4 hours yesterday. The water is crystal clear and has been great in the 95% humidity we've been having for the last week.
