Hi all! I am so glad I have found this site. I have been reading and trying to soak in the information. Before I found you all, we were going to do Pristine Blue just because they make it sound so good! I always thought you had to do the "pool store chemicals" and I'm anxious to try the BBB method instead.

So, we are having our 24' x 52" AG installed on Saturday, and I want to make sure I start right. I believe it's close to 15,000 gallons. I assume that I fill the pool, then test the water, then use the calulator to see what needs to be added? What do you think I will probably need upon startup? I am so clueless about this and really don't want to mess up. Also, how long per day should I run the pump? I live in HOT South Louisiana and the pool will get a lot of sun.

I really appreciate any info you have to offer.
