Just filled the pool and my first PH results was between 7.8-8.2 and my TA level was at 240-250 :/
Any advice on what to do next?

Do i do the sock thing as soon as i get finished with the MA? Or do i need to wait a day or two?
We are glad you are here. Just remember, if you stop by the pool store (I still do occasionally) and tell them how you are maintaining your pool they are going to look at you like you have three heads. Then they are going to explain how you are going to ruin your pool and equipment. Mainly they are just mad because you won't be dropping huge sums of money with them....Thanks for the help guys! So glad I found this website.
Regularly. But just explain chlorine is chlorine. It doesn't matter where it comes from - bleach - pool store jug - Salt Water Chlorine Generator (this one gets lots of folks who don't know what a "salt water pool" really is).My girlfriend is worried about using the bleach and MA as she says she has sensitive skin. I told her that the amounts being used isnt going to do any harm with the amount of water that's in the pool. Any one else have to explain that to someone else?
30 minutes between additions (except CYA, which will be ongoing) is plenty of time for things to mix and you can get in after the last one has had time to disperse. Swimming will actually help mix things.Do i need to wait a certain amount of time before getting into pool after all these chemicals?
I cringe just the tiniest bit when I read this. We really don't want you to do these things because someone here on the forum has told you to.Ok, I've added everything that I've been told to do.
