This is my first time posting but I've been reading this site since we started thinking about getting a pool.
Put the pool up a week ago after I first added salt and turn on the SWG during a dirty brown color was still clear but had a brownish yellow tint to it. Went online and saw that that may be Metals in my water so I left the filter on and it cleared.
Water is clear but I not crystal clear (like when I first filled it). Took sample to pool store for testing this morning.
FC 5
TC 5
Salt 2600 (will add 20lbs later today)
Calcium Hardness 40 (I don't think that matters??)
CYA 45 - I added 1lb to a sock so it's dissolving now)
TA 120
PH 7.5
Copper and Iron 0
Phosphates 300
My question is does phosphates matter? I don't see many people posting about it on this forum. Should I buy PHOSfree like they suggested at pool store? Could this be why I don't have that crystal clear look?
