Hi All

We just filled our brand new inground pool. It is going to be a SWG pool, but we are told not to use the SWG for at least two weeks. Not sure why, but I knew from this forum that I needed to start with clorine anyways so I would put wear on the SWG.

I think we have about a 40000 gal pool, and the pool company put in four gallons of acid and clorine shocker. The acid I'm told is to help clean the plaster. We supposed to brush the plaster twice a day to remove residue caused by the acid.

He put in clorine shocker of some type and said we don't need to worry about clorine for a while. I have other things on my mind, so didn't ask what that meant.

At this point I have a cheap tester given to me with our pool. I know I need a better one.

My question is do I need to keep the acid up for the plaster and what is that measure? Do I need to watch the clorine of just wait a few days as was told? How do I order a new tester?

Thanks for any and all help. I hope this is the right place to post questions.
