I got a lot of help from this forum when we bought our house in Aug 2016 and the pool turned green on us before we could even use it. So thank you all for that! It still sparkles today!
We did not cover and ran the filter maybe 2hrs a day, there is no big debris just some bugs and some small stuff that blows around. I checked the FC levels once in a blue moon over the winter and added bleach here and there when needed. I wanted to try to get the #'s somewhat close so when it's time we can adjust it and just jump right in. I tested all but the CH (do I need to test that?)
RESULTS...
FC 3
CC 0
TC 3
TA 200
CYA 60
pH 8.2 (maybe higher)
I added 3c muratic acid will wait 60 mins to test again and before adding the bleach.
What else do I need to be doing? Or should I not even bother until it gets closer to swim time
I am sure I will be on here this summer asking a lot of questions again being this will be our first time maintaining a pool.
