Yes, list the stuff they gave you. If it's useful, we'll help you determine that. If it's garbage, we'll advise you to chuck it.

If they gave you stuff with names like:
Clarifier
Flocculent
PhosFree (or other phosphate remover)
Calcium flakes (and you have a vinyl liner)
Algaecide (with a caveat to be explained)

We'll suggest you don't use them. There is only one type of algaecide we recommend and ALL the others we recommend you throw away or give them to someone you don't like!

If they gave you chlorine chemicals--powders or tablets, tell us what they are as well. Some are fine, at least for a while. Others (such as "Double-Acting" or "algae control added" ) may have bad stuff you don't want.

But, the GREAT thing about B-B-B is that chlorine is chlorine and if you are setting up a chlorine pool with ANY type of chlorine you can be B-B-B instantly!

So... let us know, and let us know the size and type of pool.
