I have read through Pool School and looked at several posts and still have a few questions regarding new pool.
I understand using the Pool Calculator using my tests results but my questions are:
Pentair said to wait 1 week to add salt to system. Do I need to use any bleach in the meantime? The fill water should be fairly cold but I don't have that temperature yet.
I know I need to add CYA, but do I do this when I add the salt or go ahead when we fill the water. Same with Borates.
The PH of the fill water is at least 8.2 so do I need to go ahead and get that in check or can I wait a week?
Pentair manual recommends to Super Chlorinate on start up using outside source. What would be the best recommendation for doing this?
So bottom line, do I need to wait the 1 week to get everything going or should I make some adjustments now? Also, is there a preference on the order in which things are added?
Also, will be adding to signature, we do have a waterfall.
We will be filling this weekend!
