SWG installed but not ON, as I'm not sure the chemistry is safe for it yet. I think my salt level = 0, as I haven't added any in months.

Values:
Salt - not measured
pH - 6.8
FC - 26
CC - 0
CYA - 600
TA - 70
CH - 20

Can these levels really be true? I added bleach + acid yesterday to get the FC up and pH down. My water looks almost pristine.

I'd like it to be ready for grandkids swimming in a couple days. All help appreciated.

First be sure to measure the salt level before you add as it is definitely not zero.

Second and more importantly how in the world did you measure a cya of 600?!? I think that is a record that I have seen posted. The recommended level for a swg is around 80. Maybe there was a typo?

I am thinking you switched the cya and ch?
