Hi and welcome to the Pool Forum! This forum doesn't have a lot about building pools so I'm not sure how much help you are going to find with these questions. We do have one member of the PF Support Team who is an installer that may be able to give you some input. I will ask him to look at your thread. He is a busy guy this time of year so it may take a few days for him to get back to you but hopefully he will soon.
What we lack in building expertise, we make up in our chemistry help. Go ahead and start reading up on water chemistry as you have time. Be sure to also read on our sister website www.poolsolutions.com. Also, order a good test kit when you are close to finishing the pool so you will have it before the pool is filling. The one we recommend is the Taylor K-2006 or 2006C which you can find in the link in my signature.
Good luck!
