Hi there. New here as well. Just ordered my test kit through your link to Amazon.
Just dumped my pool and had it acid washed and refilled. Cyanuric acid levels and total alkalinity levels were very high thats why we dumped it. I was told by the pool store that pools here need to be dumped every couple of years. I'm new to this area and am used to a vinyl pool in a northeastern climate. I'm trying to get a handle on what normal maintenence is for a concrete pool in this area.

I've never had to use muriatic acid before. Any input on what I should generally be doing as far as weekly maintenence goes would be appreciated. I also filled out the pool questionaire.
Thanks.
