This is the first year opening after discovering this site and TFP last year. Pulled off the cover yesterday and the water is green but I can see through to the bottom this year. we turned the pump on and circulated for an hour and these are my test results.
FC .5
CC 0
pH 8.0 (I hate this hard for me to see the different colors but looks more pink)
TA 40
CH 120
CYA 40 (another test I have trouble seeing)
temp 62
salt 1500 (according to generator panel)
I am also using the taylor testing kit recommended here.
according to pool school calculations if I'm doing them correctly I need to add bleach for chlorine, muriatic acid for pH, Baking Soda for TA, Calcium Chloride for CH. Which should I add first? and of course salt.
Thank you for this site and the calculators.
