Guys/gals I have read this site for weeks now anticipating the arrival of an IG Vinyl 20X40 pool w/sand filter. Now I need to make sure I'm on the right track with opening the pool. I will be filling the pool with city water that I am getting test results from Monday. I desperately need a test kit but with all the problems going on with Ben's test kit I am afraid it will arrive too late. No pool store nearby either. Local Walmart only has test strips. Testing is going to be a problem for a while.
Anyway once I can get a good quality test kit I hope to have a little more confidence and information. What I plan to do is take the test results from the local water authority and use the Best Guess Calc to try and get things where they need to be using the B/B/B method and advice from you guys. Anybody have any other advice/suggestions.
