Hi All,
We bought a Bestway pool from Costco last year and had no idea what we were getting into. It ended up going south over the winter and we finally started over by draining it, cleaning it, replacing the sand for the filter and refilling it. I am now trying really hard to stay up on it, but really don't know what I'm doing. We went to Leslie pool store for help and I'm still not sure I know the process. We were told to buy and use conditioner enhancer, which we've bought, but I am not sure how much to use and do I use it before I use shock to get the chlorine higher, or do I even use shock as I've seen other post saying not to. I bought test strips until I get a better test kits. The results are below.
Free chlorine 0
pH 7.8
total alkalinity 180
hardness 240
cyanuric acid 0
Thanks for your guidance
