3 Bs are the regimine most of us follow. Instead of using expensive pool chemicals, we use bleach for our source of chlorine, Borax to raise the ph when needed and baking soda to raise alk. I know with a new pool you may be skeptical that all this will work as well as what the pool store will tell you. It will. In fact some of the things they will sell you are exactly the same ingredients only with a fancier label and a higher price. Think about it, read the forum and go and read a lot at the sister site www.poolsolutions.com.
