Am I on the right track? New home w/pool

[dawndenise]

Fort Walton Beach area...sandwiched between Pensacola and Panama City. While we're not right on the coast, we're less than 20 miles inland. Wish I could say I lived in Destin, but no such luck...great beaches though!

Update...SWCG is back on and chlorine is holding at about 8-9. I'll try to let it drop a bit further toward your recommendation of 5, but I found out that the prior owners had a nasty attack of black algae prior to moving out. Seems that a pool company was called in and had to do a whole lot of scrubbing (with dichlor???) to get rid of it. So far, the pool is nice and clear and I plan to keep it that way!
