Just installed an SWG, I have refilled 70% of my pool and let the pump run most of the time to just keep circulation going. I have at this point only added salt which is now at 3500ppm. I know my FC (.5?)and PH(7.0?) are going to test low when I test it after work today. I know my CYA will be about 50. So here's my question. Where do I start? I thought it was imperative to get the CYA good first around 60-80 to keep the PH more stable. However raising my PH is going to raise my CYA, so I feel like I should raise my PH first.
Should I add Borax (need like 60oz), wait a couple hours and then start trying to raise my FC by adding some sort of bleach? Or do I have to wait even longer, etc, etc...I realize it may be more help after I do the tests this afternoon, but I'm nearly certain my CY is going to be 40-50, PH 7.0 or little less and FC nearly 0.
