I recently posted in Getting Started about my journey to open the pool this year. Long story short...cinder block dropped in pool by anonymous family member, patched, rain water gathered, algae, pool filled with new water on top of that rain water, hoses fixed, water is circulating, and now I'm here.
So the pool is green obviously and I just ran some tests on the water.
Results are:
FC/CC: 0
CYA: 0
PH: ~8.8
AK: 45
I added about a pint of MA about an hour and half ago to lower my PH and will go back out and test the water again shortly.
Question is, do I need to get my CYA in order before I start to SLAM?
I do believe I have some conditioner or CYA in my pool shed, but will need to double check.
