I thought I understood the concepts here but after reading some of the recent posts Im just as lost as ever. This may have been covered already and Im sorry to be asking again but need the hammer to fall on my head. Went to Walmart and bought a bucket of chlorine tabs(trichlor..something.something), bleach,Borax, Baking Soda and Polyquat. Second year with a above ground pool.

Is this the correct process- put the chlorine tabs in my inline feeder(Hayward), check the chlorine level and increase the dial if needed plus toss in some bleach for a quick pickme up if needed. When its time to shock throw some bleach in to the pool. Use the other chemicals as needed. Is this correct? The chlorine tabs I got are stablized so I will not need an additional stablizer, will I still need to do the CYA test?

Sorry for the post but better safe than sorry.
