Hi, I am brand new to this forum. Thanks for the info you all provide here. I have a brand new liner as of a few days ago. I am on well water and just finished filling it up. The well water is always clear as long as we don't use too much at once so you know what happened next. It's brown and we can't see down 6 inches into the water. I shocked it last night and started running the filter, no difference this morning. I got my water tested at the local pool shop:
FC - 5.8
CC - 0.0
ph - 7.8
TA - 170
CH - 140
CYA - 15
Copper - 0.4
Iron - 0
They recommended:
1.) 2 gal 5 pt 1.0 oz of muriatic acid or 26 lb 6 oz of ph decreaser
2.) 14 lb 7 oz calcium hardness increaser
3.) 6 lb 14 oz stabilizer
They said to run the filter and let it clean up the water. I didn't buy anything before I got your opinion(s). Are there recommendations right? Also, at what pressure do I need to backwash? It was at 25 lbs and I backwashed and it's still at 25 lbs. Thanks in advance!
