Just opened the pool and. . .

[TroubleFreePat]

I've had it physically open a few times as we have an auto cover. Water is crystal clear, few leaves here and there and I've gone over it with the skimmer.

Tonight I officially opened (My first time) and all is well. Did a full battery of tests after letting the pump run for about an hour. Beyond thrilled with the results!

FC - 7.5
CC - 0
PH - 7.5
TA - 80
CH - 220
CYA - 70

Water is about 60 degrees; I let it warm up to ambient for a bit for CYA. These numbers are EXACTLY what I closed the pool at, with the exception of FC being 15 in October.

So I guess this means it's time to swim!

My only question - I assume this means I don't need to shock since FC survived the winter and all looks healthy, right?

No SLAM needed. The water is clear, the CC is below .5, and I'll wager large sums of money that you won't lose anything overnight if you only lost 7.5 in 6 months. You passed.

If the water is clear and your FC is in range for your CYA then you are good to go!
