    Default shopping list for new pool

    The pool is almost up! Time to shop!

    I ordered the test kit (using link to give back to forum).

    What else do I need to have on hand for when it is full of water?

    When should I start putting in the bleach?

    CYA?

    THANKS!

    You'll definitely need to have CYA and bleach--but the rest we won't know about until we have test numbers on your fill water. I would go ahead and start adding bleach as soon as you get it full--you don't want algae to get a head start!! Fill in the info that Watermom requested, and we can help you figure doses...

    I'd also add bleach while it's filling if it's going to take more than a day or so.
