    When to do initial test

    Ok good! Our FC was 2.5 and our CC was .5. We added bleach to chlorinate to 4. Was that right? Now we wait 30 minutes to lower the PH?

    If I drop the PH to 7.2 can I let the kids swim? They are dying to get in there.

    FC-6 CC-0 TA-120 PH-6.8 We just added the borax and got the pool covered. We have storms rolling in. Fingers crossed all of our hard work isn't wasted before we even get to swim once!

    What do I keep my FC at while I'm waiting for the CYA to kick in? And can we still swim once we reach that level?

    OOOOH!! Now I understand. I thought the acid had to be used no matter what. Thank you so much for clarifying. I'm starting to understand now. I think...lol

    Wow good info! Thanks. If I use borax I have to use the acid right?

    When do I need to start getting the PH up? I'm not sure about what to use. Soda ash or borax?

    The CYA is almost all disolved. Pool was covered last night and we haven't used it. Is it good that there is no chlorine anymore? Kinda like starting from scratch?

    Fc 2.5 cc 3 Does that mean that we should keep adding bleach or should we leave it?

    If we do that then we should consider the FC 3.5?
