I have not added any Chlorine yet, my pool supply store recommended getting my TA & PH in check before I add anything else. My PH is around 7.2 and my TA is around 200. I am using the test strips that came with my pool. I am planning on going to my local pool store to pick up a better test kit later today. I do have Shock, Chlorine tabs and conditioner that I can use. I would really like to use the pool before the holiday weekend is up!!!
