I just did my first water test this evening. My results were:
FC: 0
PH: 6.8
TA: 70
CH: 100
CYA: 80
The pool calculator recommends 108oz of bleach, 56oz of washing soda, 92oz of baking soda, 308oz of calcium chloride, and to remove 50% of the water. That is using the default target levels. I'm really not sure what I should put for the target levels. I know it needs chlorine and I'm thinking I need to shock it. I really don't want to drain any water and would rather let the CYA drop once the kids get in and start splashing water out. Should I go ahead and shock the pool now? Any suggestions on what to use for target levels in pool calculator?
