Stated earlier in the thread I had been relying on the store testing where I bought pool supplies. I now have my own FAS/DPD test kit as of today. I really don't want to slam the pool till this weekend is over. I could change the water but if the fill water is too cool then no one will want to use it this weekend. Kind of a bummer.
TA/ acidity

Well decided to refill about 50%. Mainly so I can play with things and be ready for next year. Decided to run the pump while backfilling got a 7.8 reading for PH. I don't think I ever saw that high when I kept mine in FL. Had the pump running so chlorine was also going in while filling also thought it might help warm up the fill water. Decided to turn it off with PH a bit high. Someone else is asking this and I wonder also how much chlorine is too much to swim in?
The safe level of chlorine is dependant on your CYA level. It is safe to swim when the chlorine is between the minimum and the shock level listed in the table in Pool School.
If you can't see the bottom of the pool, it's not safe to swim. Unsure of the status of your water, it wasn't mentioned if it was green or cloudy.
Nope just did a refill to fix CYA. I am going to use the pool for this long weekend. Pretty sure I should slam the pool after filling but was worried about the boys in the pool if it is at shock level.
Changed Water 50%
Ok changed water CYA is now 45,PH 7.8, FC 20. Me and the boys are jumping in.

actually I meant for the above to be a new post for reason. The reason had nothing to do with PH, TA or acid. But that's fine I wont post again.
