I asked the pool company whether I needed to do this myself, or do they do this, and the response was that this is not necessary. I did more research, and from what I've gathered, this is actually more important down here in Florida during the summer as the sun/heat causes faster evaporation. Anyone here who can share their experience/knowledge on this?
Good idea to do it yourself. Your best interest is the LONG TERM quality of your new pool. The pool company is concerned with the warranty period, beyond that it’s your problem.
