New liner - fill with well water

[ksturge]

Thanks for all of your advice. I'll get that Alk down and keep a close watch on the ph. If the PH starts to creap up what should I do?

What is a skimmer sock?

You can use muriatic acid, or ph down to keep your ph down. You can get skimmer socks at any pool supply store - here is alink to what they look like, it is the third one down on the left:

You can find them cheaper if you shop around, but this has free shipping. You can also cut off a leg of pantyhose and put it on the skimmer. It just catches small particles that the filter sometimes doesn't get
