The best thing to do since you have no prior experience is to see if one of the pool service companies around you do a pool school.
They come out for an hour and teach you how to take care of your pool. a little expensive, but will save you money in the long run.
Basic care of a pool is pretty easy, but there are a thousand little thing that can trip you up that the pros know and you will
have to learn. Also start reading here and else where ALOT to learn all you can.
