Water is scheduled to be filled today via garden hose (municipal water) which I was told would take about 24 hours or so to complete. Is this the correct order of adding/adjusting chems? I have the Taylor 2006 and salt test kits.
- test fill water to get a baseline
- add 5 - 20kg bags of salt (dilluted in bucket?) and run pump on high for 24 hours with swg turned off
- add liquid chlorine to 3-5 ppm (one post said 3 another recommended 5?)
- add stabilizer to 40-50ppm (ideal = 60)
- adjust ph to 7.4-7.6
- adjust TA to 50
- retest and adjust after 24 hours. Turn on swg
Also I'm having filter serviced as I was getting sand in the pool. Sand will be replaced (over 10 years old) and laterals/gaskets inspected. Any additional instructions related to this?
Thanks!
