    Thank you! I haven't set the pool up yet because I want to be sure I have everything before I set up.

    1) so if I go ahead and order the dichlor then I don't need to do the start up plan correct?

    2) how do I add the dichlor as it is filling?

    3) where can I get the best priced dichlor and how long does it usually last?

    Thank you again. I just want to be ready and I don't want my pool to turn green or cloudy! I can't view the links that were posted either. When will I have permission?

    4) and after I stop the dichlor how much bleach do I add to it daily?

    1) Yep, dichlor will provide chlorine to keep the pool clean while building CYA.
    2) Maybe dissolve it in a bucket first. Make sure it get dissolved.
    3) The Kem Tek product on the Super Simple recipe page or the Pool Brand from Sam's Club are usually fairly priced.
    4) About the same as dichlor. As you test daily you'll learn to adjust the dosage to what your pool needs.

    You still use the start up plan in the recipe but just not the top section of the recipe where it talks about using bleach. Read on further down and it explains how much dichlor to add and when to add it.

    About not being able to see the links ----- We are usually pretty good about telling people this but apparently forgot to tell you. But, until your registration is completed, you will only be able to see this section when you are logged in. So, copy the link and the paste it in a browser window after you log out.
