Hi all,
I finally finished my Intex 18' Ultra Frame Pool, I will post all the photos on my original build thread but I have just finished filling and turned on my Brand New Hayward Pump and Filter Combo (Really like that setup) and have just taken the first chemistry test, Results are below ...
Free Ch.: 0 (This test was before any chemistry has been added)
PH: 7.5
TA: 70
CH: 25
CYA: 0 (I didn't test this as there was no reason to)
Temp: 85
I am using the BBB method and do not have a salt Generator. I added 48 ounces of Chlorine (I wanted to add a little more, I started filling the pool 6/8/15 at around Noon), I also used some water out of my water heater which is soft water and water out of my garden hose which is untreated water.
I will test the chlorine again soon and post those numbers. The water is incredibly clear ...
What do you all think?

Another note to adding a little more liquid chlorine is that today we had light showers all day in Lodi Ca. Strange weather we are having this year.

I will need help in adding the CYA, I purchased HTH brand Stabilizer & Conditioner (Purple Lid Container). This is granular, I have read that I should use a sock and place some in the sock and place at the pool return. I have never done this before and could use some help.
