OK - New pool for me. My first. The house was a foreclosure and renovation. it's still pretty cold here but I wanted to get the pool filled and running so I would know asap if there were any hidden problems. The water is a little cloudy. I've added nothing to it yet. I just did my first test:
FC: 10
CC: 0.5
pH: 7.2
TA: 160
CH: 240
CYA: 60
I'm surprised that the FC is so high. The pool was drained to the level of the return jets when we opened it up. I topped it off with well water. It was professionally closed last fall. I think they floated some kind of granular chlorine in there over the winter which might explain the CYA. pH could come up a little, right? No idea why the TA and FC are so high. Any suggestions on where I should start? The water is really cold - don't know if that makes a difference. Thanks, everyone. TFP has been incredibly helpful so far!
