Hello! newbie with small pool. test kit?

[Watermom]

Sounds fine. You'll probably find that you'll need to add bleach a couple of times per day. An outdoor pool without chlorine loses it to the sun fast!

Great, thanks watermom!

As a general rule, how long should I run the rp800 pump (780 gpm) each day?

[Watermom]

I run my pump anywhere from 6-10 hrs per day and that is probably more than is necessary. Some people do it for 8 hours per day in two 4 hour sessions. There is no hard fast rule.

Watermom means an outdoor pool without STABILIZER lose chlorine to the sun fast!
