Did basic test of my well water.
PH 8 (confirmed by using supplemental Acid Demand - each drop lowered PH .2)
TA 130 ppm
CH 40
Based on what Pool Math and what I've learned ... My plan is to fill pool and
Day 1 - start with a Dichloride shock (15oz for 5300 gals) in part to introduce CYA up to 30 ppm and FC to 12.
( I have some non-chlorine oxidizer that I've decided not to use)
Day 2 - Test FC / CYA / PH. If needed use Muratic acid/Baking Soda to adjust PH to 7.2
Again Test FC until it drops down to 4 or 5 and only add liquid chlorine (as needed) there after.
Day 3 - Test FC / CYA / PH. Adjust PH - Plan on adding upto 10lbs of Borax (to 30ppm) and possibly acid to maintain PH towards 7.5
Again Test FC - add liquid chlorine as needed.
Day 4 - Happy Days ?
As I am on well water: I have some Metal Control (EDTA) and Clarifier (cationic polymer) to use as needed if it appear
