Got the electrical done when I got home and fired up the system.
After about 2-3 hours of circulation at full speed on the 1HP Hayward Matrix 2 speed pump I gave her a test:
FC = 0 (expected of course)
pH = 7.5 (nice start)
T/A = 30 (not bad but could be better)
CH = 50 (that'll work but should be a tad higher)
CYA = 0 (expected of course)
Temp = a balmy 64 degrees LOL
All in all not a bad start.
Added the proper amount of bleach and 3 hours later she is at 4. We'll see how much it dips by the AM (a lot I would assume with no CYA)
Added what CYA I had (about 1 cup of the 12 cups I need) but will head up to WM as soon as the wife gets home so I can the remainder and get that up
No Baking Soda on hand so I will need to grab some of that as well
Will retest in the AM and when I get home from work tomorrow. CYA I will check on in about a week to see where I am. Hopefully by that time my SWG will be here and I can get that going.
Funny thing is I bought 6 cases (2 per case) of the warehouse store bleach tonight thinking I would need A LOT since this has so many more gallons then my old Intex but alas I only needed 1 jug for now. I am sure I will go through several more before I am stabilized.
