Hi,
I am a new pool owner and new to the forum, I have been lurking for awhile prior to signing up. Our pool was completed in Oct 2013, the weather hear on the WestCoast is finally starting to get nice and I am getting excited to open the pool. We did not close the pool over the winter, and the pool builder advised us that we should run the pump 24hrs a day. We are running on chlorine pucks right now as I do not have the pool heated, but I would like to start the process of opening the pool but am not sure what I need to do, so I am looking for some advise. I am looking to purchase the TF-100 kit but will have to see if I can use my friends US Mailbox as I believe that they cannot be purchased/shipped to Canada. I went to the pool store today to have the water tested and this is what they gave me, BTW the pool water looks great and is about 60F
Free Chlorine 1.07PPM
Total Chlorine 1.85PPM
Combined Chlorine .8PPM
PH 7.7PPM
Hardness 220PPM
Alkalinity 90PPM
Cyanuric Acid 15PPM
Thanks in advance for any help
