Ok i just got a AG pool that is 18x48in round. I just filled it up with water and im confused on where to go from here. Do I have to shock it first? I am going to use the BBB method and I bought borax, bleach, and Bs today. I tested the water and here are the results.
TA-40
Ph-6.8
Fc-0
Tc-0
I used the pool calculator to figure out what I needed to add to get the TA Ph and FC Tc levels up, but im wandering if I just add all that or do I need to shock it and wait 24hrs. thats where Im confused. The manufacturer says that the pool hold 5400 gallons and has a 1500gal hr pump. that is at 80percent full. I would say it is about 90 percent full, but I was going by 5000 gallons so I could take baby steps. Let me know what you all think I need to do next.
