Add in small steps with the pump running, wait, then retest before adding more. Never mix chemicals together, and always follow your product label, which wins over any calculator.
Before you buy: placement
Leave working room beyond the 71 inches across by 26 inches tall envelope: cover clearance on one side, access to the equipment on another. Power comes from a standard household outlet, and the first fill of 177 gallons will take a garden hose a while, so start it early.
