Re: Need help getting my pool right for birthday party this saturday
mrkim is giving you advice that is not what you'd usually get on this site.
Sadly, I can't give you a solution that I think will work in time for the weekend besides drain and refill.
If you do refill, please consider startting up with the Super Simple Recipie (http://pool9.net/ssr/).
The best tips I can give a new pool owner:
1) Order a Taylor K-2006 test kit. Not available in stores. Buy it through this page: http://pool9.net/tk/ and Pool Forum gets some coin to keep the lights on.
2) Read all you can here especially the stickied threads in the testing and chlorinating forums also read the guides at poolsolutions.com. Pay special attention to the Best Guess Chlorine Chart page as it describes the basis for the safe, efficient, and effective method of pool care taught here.
Note: as a trial user you'll have to log out to see the other parts of the forum so copy the URLs, log out, then paste 'em in your browser.
Good luck and welcome!
Let us know how it's going.
