Well I have come to the collective oracle for some feedback.
My pool was installed and filled yesterday. (Filled with municipal water via 3,000 gallon water trucks)
Last night at dusk, I added about a half gallon of 12.5% liquid chlorine and a pound of CYA in a sock in front of the return. This afternoon the sock was empty.
Water looks great (for now).
I did my first TF test late this afternoon and here are my numbers. Did I screw up a test??
FC 1
PH 7.5
TA 320
CH 425
CYA 0
I plugged those numbers into pool math and added the total amount of chlorine recommended, but only half of the CYA it called for (almost 6 lbs)
I have not added the borax or baking soda yet as I would like your input on my test numbers and to ask how to best add the borax and the baking soda to the water.
Your feedback is is greatly appreciated.
