So I now have a Splash Superpool brand above ground pool. I bought it used and in very good condition. I have filled it and with the help of this poolsolutions am now working on my chems. So far I have only had this website at my place of any pool care eduation beyond the manuals for my pool and filter.

I have the chlorine functioning, but I need stabalizers to lenghten the life of my clorine and have CYA That I am going to start testing in small doses.

I also need to add my baking soda to buffer Ph fluctuation, right now I am at 7.8 on a Phenol Red test.

I have a basic OTO/Phenol Red test kit. The Taylor kit is in the mail.

Any tips based on this first post would be welcome.
