Hi,
So last year I had a new house and new pool liner installed, it was my first year owning and I did not have to "open" the pool. I just filled it with fresh water and ran with it.
I closed it around October (in Toronto area), and the guy that closed it left a lot of leave in the pool. I also had a safety cover on it all winter. Never put in and chemicals or anything.
I took a peek whats under the cover last night..and its GREEN!! Very green! ughhhhh...:thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:
I plan to take the cover off tonight, and before running the pump or anything, just spend 1-2 hours getting all the leaves and debris out. Once that is out and cleaned, can someone confirm these next steps for me:
1) re-connect all the mechanics and get the pump up and running
2) Test CYA (last year i was running my SWG pool with a CYA of 60)...it could be a bit less since I drained it out a few feet of water due to rain
3) test PH levels (get between 7.2 and 7.5)
4) SLAM (with a FC of 24 if CYA is 60).
Anything else I want to do? I will post pics along the way and post up here...
