Just getting started with a pool

[kiwipool]

Thanks for warm welcome over in the other thread!

The water temp has just dropped enough for the SWG to stop generating, so I'm at a point where I would love to get some guidance.

I have the pump running in 1600 RPM for 20 hours, then 2600 for 4 hours.

Test results are:
FC: 6
CC: 0
PH: 7.8
CH 500
TA: 60
CYA: 20-30
SC 2000

The pool water looks crystal clear, but it does look like some small clumps of algae(it could also be dirt) are forming on the bottom.

Maintain the pool as a non-SWG pool using liquid CL until the water warms to get the SWG operational in the spring - Pool School - Recommended Levels

Do an Overnight Chlorine Loss Test if you suspect algae. Your CC is 0 so chances are it is just dirt.
