    If you are filling from a well, I would add a sequestering agent before the chlorine. Add as much or more than it calls for in the directions. If you overdose it won't hurt, but if you don't put enough in and you have metal in your water, you could get staining. Better safe than sorry!

    Thanks for the responses... I have not had my well water checked yet but I agree about the minerals in the water. I have a whole house filter that catches lots of sediment. Once the pool is full I will first treat it with something to handle the minerals then bring the rest of my numbers into order.
    What a great place to pick up some info. THANKS! I'll post some numbers once its all set up and running.
