Hi folks, I'd appreciate it if you could briefly recommend what I should do to balance the water chemistry of my pool now that I have opened it for the first time this season. Also if you could suggest the order in which I adjust each one, it would be greatly appreciated as well. I remember doing this several years ago with your help, but I just need a quick simple refresher if someone has the time...thanks. I will post my specs below
Pool Specs
TF100 Kit
Chemical readings are:
Also on a side note, I realized that my shocking the pool upon opening didnt quite reach the shock levels, I think I only got it up to 111 or 12 FC during the process. but now that I have my readings and I noticed that my CC never even got up to .5 during the process and my pool has a clear blue sparkle to it....should I even bother wasting additional chlorine jugs and trying to shock it again? I used the Dollar Tree jugs and it didnt list the actual Chlorine concentration on the jugs but the label was identified as Home Goods.
What do you think?....thanks for taking the time to assist
