What kind of filter do you have and what size of pump?

Hope the kit arrives soon. We'll be here and ready to help!
Thanks watermom. I'll post the numbers when I get the kit. But is there somewhere that lists "if your pH is x and your pool is y gallons, add z ozs of muriatic acid to change it to pH 7.6"? (just an example). I feel like I have seen this somewhere...other than the back of the package of whatever chemical I am holding! I guess what I am looking for is a collection of tables for each of the main chemicals we use.
