    First time opening

    Hey all. So I just tested my pool after uncovering it FC 0.5 CC 1.0 CYA 20 By looking at this I think I need to SLAM. The pool math says I need to add 129 oz bleach to get FC to shock level 12, and I need to add 15 oz stabilizer to bring my CYA to 30. Which do I do first? And how often do I...
