Hello TFP members,
Found this site during our remodel which just completed and water went in last night. Today the PB came by to start the pumps, filters and program the EasyTouch and ended up tossing two chlorine pucks into the skimmer.
My question on a Salt water pool start-up, according to PebbleTec instructions is to get the PH and Total Alkalinity under control and chlorine later and do not add salt or use SWG for 28 days.
PebbleTec Acceptable Start-up Range – First 28 Days:
pH 7.0-7.4
TOTAL ALKALINITY 70-90PPM
CALCIUM HARDNESS 150-250PPM
TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS 400-600PPM
CHLORINE 1-3 PPM
CYA 20-80PPM
My Taylor K-2006 test readings
FC 13
CC 0
pH 8.0
TA 150
CH 10
CYA 0
I removed the chlorine pucks and looking for any advice on the best ways to get the pH and TA to the correct levels.
Thanks in advance.. also attached a few photos.
