Okay, here's some numbers. Got my test kit and did a few tests.
PH- 8.0+ The water was so dark pink, there is no reading on the tube for it.
FC- I did a sample of this. The water was dark red. I added 7 drops of the chemical to make it colorless and quit. I'm assuming that the reading is so strong because of the 10 gallons of shock that were added today.
CYA- 30+ Again, this reading was off the charts. I did my 7mL of water, added the chemical up to the 14 mL. Poured it into the test tube and I poured the entire 14 mL of water in the tube and could still see the black dot.
Stopped testing after these results.
For tonight, we are most concerned about letting the filter run and the pressure to get too high. Thoughts?
Here are two pics- the first one was taken the day we opened the pool, April 13th. The second pic is from today- filter and pump turned on, 10 gallons of shock and a bit of leaf-raking and brushing of sides completed.
