Just finished filling the pool yesterday. Don't have a test kit yet. Please help me to decide which one to order as I'm not sure everything I will eventually need to be testing? We are getting an SWG so we will need salt strips as well? I have seen the kits on TFtestkits.net but not sure which one would be what I need. And wanting to buy one local if possible or on amazon prime to get it as soon as possible. Any help is appreciated!
The pool does have 160 lbs of salt in it because we didn't realize the generator we ordered wasn't here and that it was backordered. (bad pool company experience!) The pool store gave us a list of stuff to add to the pool but after reading around on the site we decided not to add everything. I only added the amount of liquid chlorine that the poolmath calc said to add to get the FC up to 4 from 0. Also added enough cya according to calc to bring the number to 40ppm from 0. Not sure if I should be doing a SLAM with a new pool?? Without a test kit I can't determine what chlorine levels are now... I added the 2 chemicals last night. Water is clear, no cloudiness and I can see straight to the bottom of the pool. There are bugs and debris in the pool still. Pump will run 6-8 hours today and vacuum will go in around 6pm.
Please advise on what I should be doing now - thanks in advance!!
