Hi all...one week member here....new plaster pool 7 days old Ok I need some facts as I'm very confused on this topic. I've been reading so much and I can't remember what is fact or not. I have two bubblers on a shallow sun tanning shelf that put the water about 1 foot in the air above the...

Thanks folks for the advice on switching to the 10ml sample....I saw that in the instructions but just started out with the 25ml...and yeah, that would greatly reduce the amount of drops I'm adding. I have been adding the drops vertically per the instructions...glad I'm doing that right...

Awesome! Thanks!!!!!

Thanks Richard. This is my first day on the website ...could you direct me to the write ups on how to use bleach? Is there a way to know how much bleach to add for a 17,000 gallon pool? I'm digging around the site and can't find what I need....again, first day on site so probably operator...

I was following the National Plaster Council 28 day start up plan. On day 7 right now. Pool was filled, metals agent was added, I added stabilizer once, brushed twice a day and vacuumed every day, testing water everyday...so far so good

Ok I see...guess I need to read up on how to use the bleach method properly instead of the triclor...thanks!

The cya values are from my test kit...they do match very closely to Leslie's tests...but I've been testing it each day trying to stay on top of things. So using bleach sanitizes but does not increase CYA? Is that the reason why it's recommend here?

Thanks Richard for the MSDS...appreciate it (y)

Ahhh ok...thanks for the info
