    1. Do you have the bleachCalc? if not get it here

    2. Bleach. You need .7 gallons to get to 3ppm FC (3-6 is recommended with CYA of 30-50... best guess table

    3. According to BleachCalc, you need 3#7oz CYA to get to 30ppm (30-50 is recommended here)

    4. Baking Soda. you need 12# to raise your TA to 80, with 80-125recommended here. This will prolly raise your pH (?).

    5. Don't worry about calcium in a vinyl pool, unless it gets up to 500

    6. While you wait for Ben's kit, get a 5 or 6 way drops kit from WalMart and start practicing!

    7. Enjoy your pool!!!

    I am not sure if the order I listed is the order in which you need to do these things... bleach is all important, though, so get it in there quick!
