I'm helping out my nephew with his new Intex 16x36x52" above ground vinyl pool. He will have a SWG.
I'm ready for him to SLAM as soon as filled, but I am thinking this is what I am going to recommend.
As soon as he has filled a foot or so of water, I am going to put a few socks with CYA in a bucket and place that bucket on the floor of the pool as it is filling. The fill hose will be placed directly in the bucket, with the force of the stream directly at (onto) the sock.s This should help dissipate much of the the CYA when the pool is finally filled.
At about the halfway fill, take an Alk reading and adjust/correct based on the current volume. Then at about 3/4 full, take pH reading and adjust/correct for current volume.
When it is just about filled, make another correction for both Alk and pH.
Then when the pool gets up to skimmer level, I can turn on pump and SLAM, with CYA, pH and Alk mostly good.
Won't bother with salt or SWG until near the end of the SLAM, when I then dump in the salt. Then turn on SWG, and should be good to go.
Sound like a plan?
comments/suggestions, please.
