I have just oozed into the house. Great inaugural soak! i still feel a greasy residual at the water line. There were 4 of us tonight, so hoping that again I can wipe it off tomorrow when water will be below the icky ring. Thought I had wiped off the spagloss well, but obviously not. I am using Reserve and Renew by leisure time and had chemicals at home. Using the test strips that came with the kit. Dealer talked me through first chemicals, and gave his cell phone if I had questions after hours. I don't think I can ask for more than that. Good thought about rinsing filters.
