New pool and chemical question

[CanuckPool]

Thanks Kurt, what you said actually makes sense, even to a layman like me. Sometimes the experts explain it with too much tech jargon and I tend to get lost. I am going to try Ben's technique when I get home and I will let you now how it goes. So far we have been pretty happy with our pool, just getting to know how to maintain it is the key.

Just keep reading here and you'll have a firm grasp on it in no time. If you haven't already read them, the sticky threads at the top of the chlorine and testing forums are a great primer.

Waterbear basically said it in his first post, and with a SWCG, it necessary to add the muriatic acid as it now part of the SWCG operation. There is a thread I wrote explaining this, just do a search in the Chlorine Generators forum for "SWCG Operation". I have tried to keep it simple for the newbie SWCG pool owners.
