Hello all! We just replastered our pool with pebble and had a company start up the pool and brush for the first month. We added salt, CYA and turned on the SWG after 1 month. We did this with the help of Leslie's, LOL. Now we are having a difficult time getting a good reading from Leslie's to maintain out warranty. Leslie's even admitted no one ever gets a perfect reading! Then they sold us too much salt and we cautiously added it over 3 days. Here's my question: The Stonescapes recommended FC level of 1 to 3 PPM seems low for the recommended CYA of 50 to 80 PPM. I will add baking soda (9.3 kg according to pool math) and then my PH will rise. Finally, can anyone recommend a reliable pool company to test our water in South Austin so we can maintain this elusive warranty!!!

CH 270
TA 50
CYA 60
salt 3600 (according to Leslie's who admits their salt readings are high)
