3 questions oving Forward WIth Newly Filled/Balanced Pool
For your location I would take your CYA to 40 at least. That will also leave some room for puck use like you said. If your losing more than 3 ppm per day of FC from the sun take it to 50. My CYA level is 40 and my pool gets 10-11 hours of full sun. I lose 2-3 ppm of FC a day.
For your current CYA level I would target 5-6 and don't let it fall below 2. CYA level of 40 target 7 and never let it fall below 3. CYA level of 50 target 8 and never let it fall below 4. Add your chlorine, bleach with the pump running in front of a return. Let pump run for 30 mins after addition to mix in the water.
For the pump run time there is an article in pool school on how to determine pump runtime. ?
