Opened myself for first time this year. Everything went smoothly. Opened very slightly green with small amounts of debris at bottom, but not that bad.
Here are test results (TFT kit) after running pool for an hour:
- Water temp: 57^
- pH: 7.2
- FC: 0
- CC: 0
- CYA: 20
- TA: 40
- Ca: 100
- Salt: 2000
Basically low on everything, as expected since I dumped a lot of water out this winter from rain/snow.
My plan tonight is to dump liquid Chlorine in to quickly get to 5ppm (153 oz of 12.5% per pool math). Tomorrow morning I will add:
- salt to get to 3000 (6 bags) for now, then will go to 3500 afterwards
- baking soda to get to TA to 80 (18lb)
- CYA to get to 60 (10 lb of dry stabilizer)
Two questions:
- Any specific order of operations when adding these, or ok to add all on same day?
- Should my SWCG be running during this, and if so what % output?
By the way, I didn't vacuum to waste, so my plan is to have my filter do the heavy lifting on cleaning and then just clean the filter in a few days so I have a clean start to the season.
thanks
