Bought a house with a pool 2 and a half years ago. I did what Clavus did, hired someone to give me a quick course. Worked great.

I would add that the part of the country you are in will make a huge difference in the opening/closing proceedure. I live in Tx and what I have to do is so much easier than what a good friend of mine has to do on Long Island. The two proceedures are not even comparable really.

I will also agree with all those here who say the key is to chemical test often. I don't test daily all the time but I do test at least 3 times a week regardless of use and if we are using it heavy I test every day. PH is the key to chlorine and alkalinity seems to be the key to PH. Your local pool place should have fairly cheap test kits that will work great. I would recommend replacing the test kit every 12 months. I noticed odd results when I let my kit get old.
