Re: AquaSmarte Delivery System?
I just briefly scanned the document, and it looks like you could just ditch the system and start with BBB.
Post some numbers so we can better help you! If you are following the guidelines outlined in step 2 on page 4 of the document, your water parameters should be pretty close.
Most here would suggest stabilizer (or CYA) between 30-50 ppm, and your FC will need to be increased accordingly (3-5ppm, 15 to shock)
You do not need to worry about calcium hardness, as you have a liner. (problems only occur >500ppm)
One Caution: Some here say they pour bleach into the skimmer: DO NOT do this if you leave your system connected. Mixing different forms of chlorinating chemicals is dangerous. (they can be mixed in the pool without any harm, however.) Add your bleach in front of a return.
ETA: get a drops-based test kit (Ben's kit, Taylor, or HTH 6-way)... test strips are 'lovingly' called "Guess Strips" around here!
