Welcome to the Pool Forum! How exciting to be getting ready to have a new pool built! While your pool is being built, do a lot of reading here on the forum and also over on our sister website www.poolsolutions.com. Lot of good info there.

A good way to start up the chemistry in a freshly filled pool is to use our Super Simple Start-up Recipe. It is not just for Intex pools but rather is appropriate for any fresh fill. You just have to adjust doses to match your volume. Read about it here:> http://pool9.net/ssr/

You'll also want to go ahead and order a good test kit so you'll have it from day one. The one we recommend is the Taylor K2006 or 2006C (better buy). You won't be able to buy it locally but you can get it through this link:> http://pool9.net/tk/

Here is a link you can use to search with. It searches the entire forum and also the entire Pool Solutions website:> http://pool9.net/search/

Hope this helps!
