Hi folks, after staring at a brand new pool that was installed last December, I can't wait any longer. Really appreciate the guidance in pool school, the wiki, and commentary on the forums - have learned a ton over the offseason.
I'm starting from a dirty, stinky, cloudy pool as the concrete guys did not recommend a cover over winter due to the green concrete and the weather was too cold to run the equipment at the time of install.
Here's my plan:
1) Run pump 24/7 to start filtering water, bypass heater
2) Vacuum pool
3) Add stabilizer to get CYA to 30
4) Dump salt targeting 3600ppm (for later.. SWG is off.. taking advantage of stirring water up during cleaning to help dissolve)
Wait a day
5) Full water test, adjust pH to 7.6
6) Follow SLAM process per guide
7) Finish SLAM, full water test
8) Add stabilizer to get CYA to 70
9) Start SWG
10) Continue water tests per pool school guide to dial in SWG/pump speed/pump run time settings
Any recommended modifications to this plan?

Thanks!
