Been all over the site for the past couple of days
Just replaced liner in my 20k pool as well as sand filter and pump
Previously used stingy sticks etc for the past 10 years
CYA levels were so off the charts that I couldn't properly ever get my chemistry correct
Excited to get started with taking care of the water properly using the methods detailed on this site
Have plenty of bleach, borax, baking soda , muriatic acid, cyuranic acid ( to get proper initial levels )
Problem is - I can't find ANYWHERE on the site that details how to go about an INITIAL water balancing
I see the post regarding starting up a new plaster pool and a temporary seasonal pool
But don't see anything with regards to initial setup for vinyl pool
Curious about what order to start balancing
Initial TA is 20
pH is around 7.3
Chlorine reading 0
CYA level is understandably zero
Pool guy suggested getting TA right initially and I have started doing so using pool calculator for 20k
Can anyone help guide me in finding where on the site to start?
Was planning on getting TA right
Then making sure pH was right and then moving on to FC
Is this an ok way to approach ?
Also - was planning on adjusting pH w muriatic acid / borax accordingly
Is this alright?
Really wanna do things right to start with and keep up with the pool daily as best as I can this summer
Thanks all!
