Good Afternoon,
I have relied on this forum for many things, it helped me immensely making decisions for my pool build. Now my pool has water and I need some advice/help. I do not want to rely on the PB, I would rather learn on my own so I can do this myself going forward.
My pool is around 30,000 gallons based on my calculations, 22X44 free form with deep end. They filled it with water last week, we put the salt in 2 days ago. Initially they said they added chlorine to get it going, but they forgot to add the salt so I did so 2-3 days later.
A few questions-
I put the IC-40 on Boost level because the pool shows Zero Chlorine, is this OK?
Here are my current readings using the TF-100-
FC- 0
PH- 7.5
CH- 150
TA- 60
CYA- 0 (After adding to the bottom of the label then adding the R-0013 to the top of the label it stayed clear as can be, I am assuming this means it is Zero)
At this point I think I need to add bleach and get the levels up before the SWG can do its job, is that right or should i just leave the SWG on boost for 24 hours to increase the levels>
I read that I should have got the levels correct before I added the salt, but it is to late to do that at this point.
Any advice would be appreciated, in the mean time I will keep reading the forum to get pointed in the right direction.
Thank you!!!!
