We had our 16' x 32' inground liner pool installed back in February and our pool builder recommended that we wait until the water temps warmed up some before adding the salt. I ordered the TF-100 test kit and my results are as follows:
water temp: 74 degrees F
Chlorine=0.5 (I have been shocking once per week to prevent algae growth and have not seen any or felt any on the liner surface)
Ph=7.2
CYA=35
TA=30
CH=100
I have an Autopilot DIG-220 SWCG and it is telling me to add 375 lbs of salt right now. Based on the test results above is there anything that needs to be addressed prior to me adding the salt this weekend? Also, what is the best way to add the salt without causing any problems and to help it dissolve quickly? I am currently running the pump 6 hours each day and will be kicking that up to 8 or 10 hours this weekend.
