per PoolMath - you should be 2-6 FC. Higher is ok until you get to shock levels, at this point when FC= 12 or more, then you should not let anyone into the pool until its below shock level. Use PoolMath - play with numbers and see how things affect each other. Really simple to use :) You...

The tablets at this point may be ok, but without the numbers of the CYA - hard to say. Remember I'm still learning as well :) Since you just filled this pool I'm assuming that the water is clearish? The Sock thing is (if i'm not mistaken) is for filtration - if you have green, leafy water...

While I'm still new (just got within the month) so take what I say with a grain of salt, and I'm sure if my words are not correct, someone will be along shortly to correct them. 1. Forget the pool store - other than possibly buy pool toys and liquid chlorine. 2. Get a better test kit the TF...

On poolmath - Cya says lose 20% water and CH told me to lose 35%. So I split the 2 and came up with 25% Richard - Gotcha! Will do :)

Greetings from sunny South Florida - where at this time of the year we envy you northerners :) Long story short - due to finances and now that I'm doing this on my own, I think our pool guy was good but missed quite a bit. After letting our pool guy go and not doing anything to the pool - it...
