I am a brand new pool owner in Southwest Ohio. I purchased the pool in February and it sat in boxes on my front porch until last Wednesday when they finally installed it. The workers left, the pool filled while I was at camp with my daughters and now I don't know what the next step is. The electrician is coming out (hopefully) this week to run a line out to the pump. In the mean time, I was told I could run it with an extension cord. I am heading to Lowe's today to purchase a 12/3 extension cord with a weird looking (marine/camper???) 20amp receptacle on one end (or purchasing an adapter) so I can start moving the water. What is next? Chemicals, conditioner??? The only test kit I have is the AquaCheck "goofy strips". I will swing by WalMart for the recommended yellow/red drop kit until the Tayler-2006 kit arrives. Here is what I have and the chemicals that came with the package I purchased:
Aqua Leader Influence oval 18'x33'x54" above ground pool with an ecco cartridge filter system and Aqua Smarte Plus System
4 lbs Swimway conditioner (balancer) (active ingredient cyanuric acid)
1 lb Swimway Blast (oxidizer) (active ingredient potassium peroxymonosulfate)
1 lb Swimway pH Plus (balancer) (100% sodium carbonate)
1lb Swimway pH minus (balancer) (Sodium Bisulfate)
1 litre of pool magic spring & fall + phosfree (by a company called Natural Chemistry) (no ingredients listed. says it reduces phosphates & prevents waterline ring
3 Aqua Smarte Plus MizerMax Pacs
The installers did not leave me any manuals, so I'm not even sure where the Aqua Smarte Pac goes. I have read several posts here on the forum and gotten some answers, but since I am brand new to all this, I am hoping someone can take my hand and guide me step by step on what to do next.
Thanks in advance for any help!
