A little background, Pool installed on 4/26, pump hooked up and running 4/29 late in the day.
Tested water 4/30

Last night we added 4 lbs of cya using skimmer sock in skimmer (didn't really take too lond to dissolve, only about an hour or so), and 48 oz. of bleach a little at a time directly in front of the return. When adding the bleach the water would turn a little cloudy (I could see where I added it but within a second or so it that area would go clear again) is that how it works?
Here are test results today

When getting the cya ready to put in pool, some spilled into pool :x I'm sooo new to this, I just freaked out until JasonL said I could just vacuum it up....I didn't even think of that!!!!! I was like how are we going to get this stuff out and tried mixing it up with the skimmer net!! Thats how overwhelmed I am!!!
Anyway, the pump has been running since yesterday afternoon. Next steps??? Does anyone have any suggestions on accesories (i.e. buckets or other containers) to add chemicals easier?
Thanks very much
